4 things sunday # 11

This is a little challenge I'm doing each week. Every Sunday I decide on 4 simple little goals I'd like to achieve in the coming week. I'm not talking about graduating university or buying a house. These are little challenges, challenges I really can accomplish and which will help me to make my life just a tad more organized. Do you want to take part as well?


Here are my 4 things for this week:

* Eat salad at least twice.
* Write and send at least four more letters.
* Organize my desk.
* Sew a bit.

How did I do with the last 4 things?

* Book our flights for our holiday in March. *Check!*
* Get the mail I received while being away from the friend who picked it up for me. *Check!* He had 12 letters for me - yay!
* Send out at least four letters. *Check!* I sent 7 letters last week ( 3 x Germany, Italy, Sri Lanka, USA and the UK) and I have 3 more ready to be sent right now (Germany, Togo, USA) - Steph, if you're reading this: Is your address still the same this semester?
* Continue working on the atomic law paper. *Check!* Guess what I'm doing right now?

What are your goals for next week? Leave a comment or write a post on your own blog and leave a link, I'd love to know!

A happy new year everybody! I hope 2013 started off awesome for you and will continue like that :)


I have gotten back from skiing a few days back and am still working on getting used to being home again - maybe a few goals will help me settling back in :)

PS: I'm so jealous of everybody who is already done with school! I currently have to focus on a paper which is due on Tuesday, but I will hopefully have time to catch up with all of you (e-mails as well as letters) as soon as I'm through with that... I can't wait!

* Do a bit of research about the paper due on December 18th. *Check!* Luckily I put the word "bit" in there - because it was only a tiny bit of research I did. But I'll read lots of it today!
* Go to the Christmas market once. *Check!* Just a short visit though - but well, life is busy this time of the year, right?
* Continue with the photo-scrapbook I'm currently making. *Check!* Even though only a few pages :)

* Buy 3 christmas gifts.
* Write four letters.
* Clean my desk - at least a little bit!

Do you notice something? Yes, those are the exact same things like last week - because I really failed at most of them. I still didn't write the applications - but I spoke to someone who might just get me an internship without having to write an application. I bought one christmas gift for my boyfriend, but that's about it - but I developed some more ideas. I wrote some letters (I finished two and am in the process of writing a third one), but I didn't get them ready to send yet - they still need their envelopes and everything. And lastly, while I did clean my desk a little bit, it's already a mess again (I've seen some of you guys posting photos of your "messy desk" - that's nothing! I'd be happy if my desk looked like that after it's cleaned. But hey, I can see some wood of the desk through all the stuff which is piled on it, so it's not that bad, right?). I'm frustrating chaotic.

How did I do last week?

* Write four letters.  Check! I wrote even more, and I'm almost done with answering all the mail that has piled up during summer. I'm ready for more mail! :)
* Eat ten healthy things.   Check! Again, I ate even more healthy things than I thought I would :) By the way, "healthy things" for me means mostly apples and carrots :) Bonus points here, because I even got my boyfriend to eat some healthy things :)
* Work out twice.   Well.... I did work out once, I wanted to do so again this weekend but it was just way to cold. When it's cold I rather snuggle up in a blanket instead of working out. (On the other hand though, I don't really enjoy working out in summer either - do you notice something here? :) )
* Buy a new book.  I failed on this one. I bought lots of stationery supplies and small goodies, but I didn't decide on a book.



What are your goals for next week?

Is there anyone out there who is NOT a procrastinator? I thought so.

Well, I am a big one. So when I saw this idea on Vanessa's blog who got it from Sally's blog, I decided to join in.

The idea is to set four goals each sunday you would like to accomplish during the following week. Goals you can fulfill, so I'm not talking about big things - like finishing your studies or buying a house. Four goals that will make you think "Yes, I did something" at the end of the week.

So, my four goals for this week are:

* Write four letters.
* Eat ten healthy things.
* Work out twice.
* Buy a new book.
