Weekly Goals

Vacation officially comes to an end today for me (teaching job.) It's also the last day that I'll be working two jobs (my second one is as a library assistant.) While I'll miss it, I'll finally have weekends and weeknights off! So hopefully more time to focus on goals.

Sticking with CGP Grey's idea of having themed seasons instead of New Years Resolutions. So the theme from January 2024 - March 2024 will be "Storytelling."

Here's what I'm thinking for this week:

Work Related:
- Ease back into the flow of my work schedule.
- Gear lesson plan towards welcoming back students and easing them back into thinking about music. Emphasize the point that all music, with words or no words, tells a story!
- Do nothing related to work after 5pm. Your time is your time! (Unless there is a concert, of course, or other event.)

Health Goal:
- A daily 30 minute walk. Got to train for the library's "Walk to Mordor" program. 61 days to walk 500 miles! That's about 8.2 miles per day, and not necessarily that easy.

In keeping with the storytelling theme:

- Sneak as much reading in as possible this week (in the morning, before bed, during breaks and lunches, etc.) Track it on Goodreads.com.

- Journal every night before bed.

Writing/Creative Writing:
- Monday: Watch Lecture 1 of "Writing Great Fiction", take notes, look at assignment.
- Tuesday: Review notes from Lecture 1, begin assignment.
- Wednesday: Write Hanukkah story #7, review notes from Lecture 1, finish assignment.
- Thursday: Write Hanukkah story #8, re-watch Lecture 1. After, write down all you can recall from the lesson.
- Friday: Update my goals here on Writing.com, and begin 30 Days of Flash Fiction challenge (located on my Pinterest acct.)
