SOC: Making Changes
It can feel rather depressing at time when there are many things on the list which still remain unchecked off at the end of the week/month. Your targets are not met and they have to be revised or expected target date ( especially for my weight lost target) have to be put back for a few months.
I’ve decided that now in November to start off again on a new slate and be more realistic in making changes. I’m going to start slow and stop being so hard on myself if the target is not reached by the targeted date. I believe if I constantly work hard towards my targeted goal I will reach there eventually ( within a reasonable allowance in time given).
Changes are something which have to happen and this week is the time to do it.
I’ve started with something that I have wanted to do for the longest time – Change this blog design. I’ve have wanted to update the header and give the blog a makeover as I was getting tired of the old design.

Love the header – and while I don’t know what it looked like previously – this is a great design. 🙂 I’m about to do a re-design myself. I think. I keep changing my mind on that one.

I am such a list-maker and planner also. I used to beat myself when I got to the end of a day/week/month/year and there were unfinished items on my list. But then I started just mentally shrugging my shoulders and putting the unfinished items on my next list. I have come to realize I simply cannot do everything. I do what I can!

Hi! Popping in from SOC Sunday. First of all, love your design, so cute.
And secondly, I so get ya. I have the best intentions at the beginning of every week and then run out of steam right around Wednesday night. Maybe we should start planning everything for those three days? 🙂

life is hard, going easier on yourself will make you feel less stressed & make it more likely to meet your goals. good for you!

Good luck this month! I sometimes get down on myself when I do not accomplish what I had planned out. I try to stay positive, but it can be hard. 🙂

I don’t know what the old design looked like but this one looks good. Too bad you can do a side by side comparison.

@Lindsay,
You can see how the previous headers looked like in tomorrow’s Tuesday’s posts.. I did a write up on the “evolution” of the blog and it’s headers.

I love the header! I make lots of to do lists, so I know what you mean. I always start off strong, but fizzle out near the middle. Sigh. but I’m working on it!

@Rose’s Daugther,
Let’s work hard together to finish our lists.

LOVE your new design. Kids inclined look

Thanks Shook!

Here’s what I figured out. Our to-do list will never end. As soon as you cross something off, it’s replaced by something new.
The only thing I worry about are the things that have a specific deadline although I AM trying to work on holding myself better accountable for my own internal deadlines.
Nice design too 🙂
