As of today (Wednesday 09/24)

Just wanted to post a quick update about how my week is going.

I was able to complete Monday on a positive note. I was early for everything I had scheduled and it felt GREAT.

Tuesday is a different story. Life got in my way on Tuesday morning and I of course was late as a result. Then I did not reach my goal for my class (12:25) so after that, I just stopped caring. But I've already met my goal for today so I'm happy :)

I will give myself some credit for Monday and of course will keep chopping away at this. Since I've changed my approach to attempting to be early rather than avoiding being late, I think things have been going much more smoothly. So now, I leave 15 minutes earlier than I would have previously and it just seems easier this way. I'm also working on the sleep schedule and I do think that it's making a difference as well. The one thing I haven't considered yet is how to know if/when these changes are impacting others. I guess I'll give that some thought and see how I can "measure" it. As always, I'm open to suggestions as well so feel free to share your ideas.

Regarding Tuesday, here's what happened: As I was about to walk out of my apartment to head to work (which would have allowed me to be on time) I stepped on a piece of glass (my vase broke a few days ago & I must have missed a spot while cleaning) and had to tend to my wound. I'll spare you the details but it took me about 10-15 minutes to address that. As a result, I was late for work, and although I wasn't late for class I didn't reach my goal of 12:25. Since I considered that to be a failure, I decided that my goals for the day were not met and stopped caring which of course led me to be late for my next class.  So the question is; was this a "life happens" situation, or a "Kristy sucks at life" situation.

Since this is a bit of a muddy situation, I want you to decide if I should still get my weekly reward or not. So please cast your votes while posting your comments and I will go with the majority's opinion.

Reminder of weekly goal and reward:

Goal: To be on time for ALL class and work related appointments from Monday to Friday
Reward: Going to the movies on the weekend if I achieve my goal for the week.

Goals for the rest of the week:
Thursday:
Class by 9:20
Work by 12:25

Friday
Work by 7:30
Lunch by 11:45
work by 1:45

Thanks so much for your support on this.
