There is always room for improvement and as well all know, life can throw a wrench in the works, but I'm feeling a bit more motivated and focused than I did in the first half of the year.

Horses Q4
Fred:
- As the weather allows, work 2-3 times/week - lunging, ground work, poles, riding (!)
- Maintain weight going into winter and develop some topline
Copper:
- Try to keep his weight down and keep him healthy
Barn/property Q4
- Sort winter/summer horse stuff in bins so I can actually find things when needed
- Stretch goal - sort gear by horse as well!
- Clean and sell tack I'm not using
- Set up new shelves in barn
- Clean windows, tack room, etc for winter
- Get trough heater going, since winter is definitely coming...
- No Zero Days plan – test for Q4 and implement fully in 2020. Thanks to L Williams again for sharing this – it has really helped me!
- draft 2020 goals
- Continue saving to vet fund - set aside $50/pay to start
- Consistent exercise of some sort
- Continue working on ideas to help anxiety (kinda vague, I know!)
- Plan meals and try to limit eating out
- Savings for shows and some house repairs in 2020
- Meet 2019 goal of 40 books read (low hanging fruit)
Volunteer somewhere - but not for a horse show/club- done and ongoing! This is sort of cheating, since I started volunteering for the therapeutic riding centre where Spencer now lives before I finished this post.
Work Q4
- Read work-related news articles in French (fun topics like organized crime, terrorism, etc. lol)
Oh man I need to sort thru my winter / summer stuff too. Thanks for the reminder lol. I have a whole bunch of nooks and crannies that have just filled with dusty messy odds and ends that need attention, boo.
ReplyDeleteAlso re the savings, I use a very similar plan and have just set up automatic transfers that occur the days after paydays to move the set dollar amount into savings. I can always transfer back if I need the cash, but it’s been effective for “set it and forget it” savings!
you're welcome! lol Fall --> winter is a big transition here with all of the nasty weather we get. Winter --> spring is happy and much more fun. lol
DeleteLove that first meme! I'm a terrible goal setter. I have them in my head but if I write them down then I feel the need to follow through with them. That's too much work.
ReplyDeleteMe too - most of the time!
DeleteGreat goals! I'm looking forward to seeing how we all utilize these last months of the year and what we decide to do for 2020!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I'm feeling good heading in to 2020. I'm a sucker for goals/updates posts!
