ACTIONS SPEAK * six things in 12 weeks
08/16/2010
When I started this blog I set a theme for 2010 of “actions speak louder than words” and I wanted to use blogging to help me accomplish some of my goals and “to do’s”. I’m a list maker but yet getting things accomplished and off my list is a challenge. I’m gonna try blogging about a few and see if it helps with progress. I recently started a new nutrition and fitness journal, fitbook, which I love and I am the creative director for. The journal has a 12 week time period and this seemed like a good time frame to get six things off my to do list. I’m giving myself two weeks for each to do/goal. The theory and research behind writing things down is that your 75% more likely to achieve your goals so I’m banking on that this will work for blogging too. I plan to include some before and after shots and maybe even a vlog here and there to show insight on the challenges and show progress. 78 days to get it done.
start date = 08.16.10
end date = 11.01.10
Here is the list
- fitbook & fitbook junior [health]
- refresh Merlina Design logo [business]
- clear clutter from office [business]
- read book [personal improvement]
- side yard clean up [home]
- screen door. fix or get it fixed [home]
I picked a variety of categories. Some that are at the top of my list and some not so serious.
I’m excited and a little nervous as I’m putting myself out there. I’m thinking feedback and possible criticism [hopefully constructive] will be a motivating factor for the process. My hope is that I make progress, provide some insight and basically show some fun before and after shots that might inspire.

You have a great idea here Lani. I just began carrying a small pocket journal, so that I can keep track of my “things to do” as well.
