For those who are following along my little journey, here are my results:
Feat 1: Education. The goal was to have everything done so that I can start school. I’ve completed 75% of what I need to do. All my transcripts have been sent except for the last school I was going to. I still need to send them back the books from my last classes, which of course are in one of the many boxes in my garage from the move. A perfect intersection of this feat with Feat 3.
Feat 2: PMP Certification. I have ordered the hardcopy book to study from and have it with me now. This week I will put my hours in the PMI website, and next week I can schedule the test. So I’m at 30% here.
Feat 3: Home Ready for Guests. We have squared away about 25% of the boxes. Unfortunately the items in the boxes have not been completely put away yet. Once that is done, then we can work on the boxes that are in the garage.
Feat 4: Write a Book. I am at 0% complete.
Feat 5: Conquer Life Admin. OK, me and the wife have done a lot of work in this area. It’s not perfect but I think we’ve made some serious progress. She even made a menu before we went shopping for groceries yesterday. I think together we are at 95%.
My first confession is that I did not get serious about getting anything accomplished until the last three days of my two week experiment. And then of course at that point I was overwhelmed with the number of things I had to do. I take solace in that I am not the only human on the planet who is experience this.
This is what I learned. Have a large inspiring list of things to do, focus on doing one thing at a time, and give yourself only three days to get each thing done. Oh, and the magic sauce, is being accountable to someone other than yourself. I really wanted to go to sleep about an hour ago, but I purposefully made a post saying that I was going to complete this tonight just so that I would.
And here it is.
