Checking In After Week 1

Completed: 3 (strike through)
On Track: 25 (Italics)
See the updated list here.


Daily Tasks:
Considering the whole idea behind keeping up with daily tasks is that I'm trying to get into the habit, I'm trying to leave myself some room for error.  I would consider completing a daily task 75% of the time would be sufficient.  Therefore, I cannot miss the task more than 250 times.  That is where I will draw the line at the end of the 1001 days.  By those standards, I would consider all of my daily tasks on track (as noted by the italics) with the exceptions of the tasks that I haven't even started yet. 

Weekly Tasks:
Weekly tasks are a lot easier to stick to as they only need to be done once a week.  I would consider completing my weekly tasks 90% of the time to be successful.  This means that I can miss 14 weeks and still be okay at the end of my 1001 days.

Overview as of January 9, 2011:



Completed Tasks
3.Say I love you while angry:  Not going to delve into personal details, but we can check that one off the list.

9. Become more organized and use a planner: I've always found that even with the increasing of being able to track appointments and to do lists on computers, I don't find it nearly as effective as having something to look at in front of me.  I have started using a day planner, and it is so much more effective. 

67.  Find a beauty routine that works and stick to it:  I've been using several Clinique products. At night I wash with their Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser and then apply the Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel.  Every other night I use their Exfoliating Scrub after washing my face.  In the morning I apply my only non Clinique product, Aveeno Active Naturals Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF-15.  The only reason I use this is because it has the SPF in it.  I also apply Clinique Even Better Makeup and Clinique Quick Blush.  I've just started the night time routine this week, but the morning routine I've been doing for quiet a while, just not as regularly. 

Tasks In Progress
I'm not going to summarize every task I have in progress, as most of them are indeed common sense.  I may just point out when I finish a book or cover the unique tasks.

11. Set one goal and complete it weekly (1/1): My goal for this week was to sort through my safe and throw out all the old utility bills and credit card statements.  They had been building up for years, as we never had a shredder to properly sort through them and dispose of all of that information.  My files are also organized more sensibly.

34.  Watch what I eat, and don’t go over recommended calorie intake for the week (0/1): This was a challenge, but I had the iPod app I was using to aid me set to lose half a pound per week.  I set it to maintain my weight (because that is my actual goal) and it adjusted my daily intake by about 300 calories beginning today.  I believe going by those parameters, I would have met my goal last week.  We'll see how this week goes.    

87. Read 101 books (0/101): I'm currently reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest on my NOOK. I will review the book when I finish it. 

92. Purchase each Classic Disney movie that is released from the Vault before it goes back in: The current movies about to go into the vault are Pinocchio, Fantasia / Fantasia 2000, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  The only one I haven't purchased yet is Snow White.  I have until April to get that, so I will follow up around then.  

98. Only be playing one long term video game (party games are the exception) at a time on each system: The current games I am playing on each system are Disney Epic Mickey, LittleBigPlanet, Fable III.  Expect to see reviews as I finish these games up.
