A goal a week

Like so many people out there, I find myself making this huge, lofty goals (normally around New Years): this year I'm going to exercise every day, write a book, save the world. Instead, I'm going to try something new. I'm going to give myself a goal for a week; something I have to do every day. I'm going to put it on my Google Calendar every day and have it send me email reminders to make sure I'll follow through (sad that it takes that to make me actually do something!). Here are the ideas I've come up with:


1. A week of actually drinking eight glasses of water a day.


2. Stretch for 30 minutes a day.


3. Read the newspaper every day for a week.


4. A week of not buying coffee and donating that money to an organization like Kiva.org.


5. Finish a book in a week.


6. Speak Spanish every day for a week.


7. A week learning about Photography.


8. A week learning about American Government.


9. A week reading a classic book.


10. A week doing situps everyday.


11. A week wearing clothes I haven't worn in a year.


12. Watch a classic movie sometime during the week.


13. A week of exercising every day.


14. A week of putting on lotion every day (I hate lotion).



15. A week reading the bio of a famous person every day.

This week I'm going to start with stretching. I'll write back to share how it's going. Wish me luck!
