Monday MotivationI am SO lucky I didn’t throw down the gauntlet with cash last week - because I didn’t get my stuff done! So, true to my word, I washed and detailed my husband’s car yesterday. It wasn’t fun, especially because I didn’t remember until 6:00pm Sunday night, and the last thing I wanted to do at that time was get up and start a new cleaning project!

So, a little pie on the face is good for us, eh? :D

This week I’ll be a little more careful about what I commit to - and here’s how Monday Motivation works, so you can be motivated and productive today, too:

Tell us what you’re going to do. Tell us what will motivate you to get it done (either your reward or your ‘leverage’). I work better under pressure, so I put some leverage in place that I want to avoid like the plague. Throw up your own post, or leave a comment - whatever works for you!

Today I will:

  • Clean out my inbox :roll:
  • Answer Lornadoone’s questions
  • Add the new eMoms Feed2Podcast service link
    (Converts typed text to audio! Way Cool!!)
  • Revamp my “Hire Me” page

If I don’t get this stuff done by the time I go to bed tonight, I will spend two hours cleaning out our barn. Blegch.

So what are you going to do today?

I posted mine! I hope I can get it all done.

oh gosh, now that I read your “clean out my inbox” comment I think I should do this as well, 30 emails in here and I think some are over two weeks old, yucko!!

ADD to that, I need to clean off my desk this week!

1. Finish and submit my taxes
2. Start finance homework
3. Draft homepage for client website

If I don’t do these, I will get audited, hurt my GPA, and have a very, very, late night tomorrow!

Okay…not audited, exactly, but fined…

I’m on vacation visiting my brand-new niece, so my GTD list goes something like this:

1. Hold the baby
2. Visit the botanical gardens
3. Hold the baby some more

Nice list, eh? If I don’t get it done . . . who are we kidding? I’m getting it all done!

Update for my list, I went through and cleaned off most of my desk (about 75% done) and my emails has been cut into a 3rd!! woohoo!

What I need to do this week:

1. I need to complete my (no.1) client’s order
2. I need to complete my (no.2)client’s order
3. I need to complete my (no.3)client’s order
4. I think I need a break from my PC

Reason why I need to do this, because I need to complete the orders…huhuhu!

Pressure and datelines exist so that last minute procrastinators will have reason to work..haha!
