Goals Reworked

When I originally set my $1000 monthly goal, I had an entire month to work it out. Now that month is almost over and I have a lousy fifteen bucks (and a congested cough) to show for it.

I made a few decisions:
  1. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are going to be 'workdays' at my house. The kids will do schoolwork independently and I will ignore the piles of clutter threatening avalanche. Like a mom who has to get in a car and drive to work, work-at-home moms need space and time dedicated to their cause.
  2. 9 AM to 4 PM will be the normal working hours. I will take an hour at noon for lunch with the kids.
  3. I am going to have to get very organized to pull off the above. But that's okay. I'm a professional.

Originally I had 13 working days in which to earn $1000, making about $77 per day my goal. Now I have 9 days to make $985. Can I do $110 a day? We'll see.

And this is supposed to be 'starting slow'.
