Three in Thirty: My Goals for March...

My Goals for March

This month, I am giving myself a break: no extreme focus on my ongoing sleep challenge. Whatever happens, happens!

And the blogging thing continues, and in fact, I will be participating in a blog challenge, using the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog book.

But I don't want to make that one of my goals (even if it is). Because my goal #3 is reaching critical status.

Three All-New Goals…

(1) Choose three outfits (items) a week for my upcoming Project 333 challenge in April. My plan is to try out five outfits a week this month (although it’s a 30-day challenge, I am going to take weekends off, I think) and pick my three favorites from them. Then, at month’s end, I’ll have a capsule of 12 for my 3-month Project 333 extravaganza.

(2) Use this 30 for 30 Remix to identify/clarify my signature style. From the last challenge, I got pretty clear on long, flowing maxi skirts and dresses. But I want to continue experimenting with outfits to see what else is part of my preferred style.

(3) Take weekends off and nurture my relationships with myself and my family. We don't need to mention that ugly word (*cough* workaholism *cough*), but I have a hard time stopping myself from working, even on weekends.

How This Week Went

(1) I loved all three outfits, so far, so I am sure about several pieces for the next challenge...

(2) So far, I am confirming my love of maxi skirts, but it's still too new to get much more insight yet. Going well, though.

(3) Well, if the week is anything to go by, I don't know what will happen for family & "me" time this weekend. *Fingers crossed and prayers said*

What are your goals this month and how's it going, so far? Good luck with them!

You may be judged in a negative light because your true nature is not being honored by your appearance."

Lisbeth Tanz said...: Hey Jeanine - I fully support your goal of not working on weekends. I won't work on client projects on weekends - but I will work on my own...because that's not work. :) I applaud you for stepping back and taking time to chill and enjoy some time off.; March 3, 2011 at 10:36 PM
Sam said...: We are taking a few days off here from school, time off is great!; March 3, 2011 at 11:14 PM
Mommie Kate said...: It's so hard to stop when you're on a roll, isn't it? Good for you, taking the weekends off! We all need time to rest and rejuvenate. Love the outfit photos. Keep up the good work and #3in30 blessings to you!; March 3, 2011 at 11:29 PM
Jeanine said...: @Lisbeth, thanks for your encouragement!

I find that even trying to tie up a loose end here & there sneakily steals all my time & suddenly, I'm wondering how I missed the weekend. So I really want to force myself to slow down because I need it even when I don't want it.

@Sam, that sounds great! We did that during my son's birthday week, which was fun.

@MommieKate, yes it is! Nearly impossible, sometimes. But I you're right about needing the rest, anyway. Blessings on you, too, for your 3 in 30 goals.; March 3, 2011 at 11:42 PM
Michelle said...: The weekends off...is that really possible. I don't think my kids would allow it. I love your Project 333. I think I actually only have 33 items in my closet. But it is something to think about. Do I really need all those items that I never where. Some more stuff to purge before the move.; March 4, 2011 at 12:30 AM
Jeanine said...: Hi Michelle!

What a great idea, to purge your closet before the move. Well, after the last challenge I did (Six Items or Less), I got rid of over half of what I had in my closet and I didn't have 33 things, either.

(But I did some shopping)

Jeanine said...: @MommaKristi, thanks!! I feel pretty good about them, too, now that I'm starting to wear them and they are working out okay.

Yes, I need the break from worrying about it. Thanks for your encouragement!

@Aurie, really? We must have similar taste. How cool!!

Thanks for your encouragement abt. the weekend. I'm hoping so, too!

@Hope, how sweet! Thanks so much. I'll do my best :)
