In Our Cozy Home This Week No. 15 – Basic Goals This Week

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. We had a lovely, snowy weekend. We’ve had very few days of pretty snowfall all day this winter. Yesterday was one of them and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

So it’s time to jump into the week with all its possibilities and make a list of small goals for just this week. If you are new to my site and have never participated, I hope you will. You can find lots of inspiration in A Quiet Simple Life Planner & Guidebook.

So here are my goals for the week to bring greater peace, understanding, and joy to my home. I’m only setting two because these are both pretty substantial overall and I also have quite a bit of work things I would like to get done this week.

Goal 1 – One of my goals in 2020 is a total basement clean out. I made a LOT of progress on that this past weekend so I’m going to double dip and include that here while I am on a roll.

Goal 2 – Continue working on my own Prudent & Prepared plans.

What do you have planned this week? Leave a comment below and let us know! Then come back on Friday and share how your week went – great, badly, or otherwise.

    I’m going to try to take the fabric and padding off a chair and replace them. I think I have all the supplies that I need.

    Lovely to hear about your snowy weekend:). We had such a beautiful snowfall last night that I turned the lights off, opened the blinds and just watched for a while. The cats find it fascinating at nighttime, lol.

    1. Sort through and make decisions about a big bag of clothing that is sitting in my room.

    2. Make two soup recipes that I asked for last year and never got around to making. One is my mum’s and the other is one my dad likes to make.

    Since I’m just getting to making goals on Wednesday….

    1. Clean my room.
    2. Brainstorm email topics if I split my list into two different lists.

      I did clean my room.
      I did not brainstorm email topics.

    I spent the morning at the grocery store and then just finished up a new video about the coronavirus in my Prudent & Prepared area of the forum. I encourage you to check out “My Thoughts and Current Info on Coronavirus Feb. 14 {video}” after you finish reading this comment.

    So how did I do?

    Goal 1 – Total basement clean out. PROGRESS. Not a lot, but some.

    Goal 2 – Continue working on my own Prudent & Prepared plans and binder. PROGRESS. (I honestly think people in the USA need to start paying attention to this. I detailed this in my video.)

    I stripped the fabric and padding from a chair that I am reupholstering.

    The week before, I didn’t get much done around the house, but did clean the microwave and get the crumbs out of a few drawers in the kitchen, and gave them a quick, unthorough scrubbing.

    If you are looking for the Friday Follow-up post, I’ve decided to stop doing those. I’m going to keep everything on the Monday posts. So if you want to report what you accomplished (and I hope you will!), you will do it as a follow-up comment on the Monday post.

    I’m trying to simplify things in my life.

    I’ve moved everyone’s comments that they made on the various Fridays to the matching Monday. Thankfully I found a plugin that made it possible!

    My Friday post text is now a comment on the Monday post for each week.

    I have done neither of my goals for this week. Still a bag of clothes left unopened and no soup! I guess I have ready-made goals for next week …

    I like this idea of including everything on the Monday post.

      Hi Erin,

      I think this will make a lot more sense. I originally decided to do it to simplify my life, but when I was moving all the comments over from the Friday posts to the Monday posts, I realized it makes a lot more sense to keep them all in one place each week (for a variety of reasons).

      I’ve had a few weeks of no progress on my goals and rolled them over to the next week. Nothing wrong with that! Life happens!
