Another blogger defining goals
Here is a blog, the Difference, in which a blogger in Bejing started chronicling her goals and the path she leads over the next year.
"Because it is so easy for the day to day to consume your time and the next thing you find yourself a year down the line and you wonder where the time went."Good luck!
Goal of the Day 8/22 (9)
To plan, at least, the next 5 days worth of meals, write a shopping list, and go food shopping.

Goal of the Day 8/20 (7)
I did start taping and cutting out. Didn't follow this goal exactly, since the tape would fall off.

Why this setup works better than typed index card and Joe's Goals
+ Portable- fold and put in wallet
+Instantly Accessible- no login necessary
-Could lose- need to "back up" from time to time
+Can see a large # of routine tasks all at once
+can see my effort, progress over multiple days o multiple tasks. for ex, I've been putting toys away 3 days in a row, but I haven't been focusing on pulling unwanted items from the dining room closet. I now know where to focus.
Goal of the Day 8/17 (4)
To spend 60 mins. adding primer, sanding, pulling tape in kitch.
I did 20+. two days in a row where I've made prog, but not hitting the goal 100%.
Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Goal of the Day 8/16 (3)
To paint the kitchen for at least 2 hours
(I ended up painting for 60 mins. instead of 120...first day not reaching goal 100%)

If you don't complete the EVE routine, you need to pick up where you left off in the morning. And get it done.

How to do GTD weekly review w/ Gmail system
Check inbox
check gmail inbox to see what's there----projects?, reminders,, calendar items
then move down gmail left column and address items one by one
Why an index card of daily tasks works better for me than Joe's Goals
Joe's goals requires me to log in to see my list. An index card is portable, easy to refer to all of the time. I feel like I can break down tasks into smaller, bite sized chunks when I use an index card.
G of the D 8/14 (1)
8/14- To paint the kitchen for 120 minutes
nice job! now I need to do a second coat.
