I’m not sure what I was thinking when I thought I could continue to film, edit, and upload videos without much change in frequency even though my laptop is dead.
Seriously. I should’ve thought about the fact my husband’s computer isn’t mobile. It stays put, and it can’t travel with me from room to room so that I can work on editing videos around whatever the kids are doing. I also should’ve remembered that Ruben likes to use his computer after the kids go to bed, so trying to edit videos at that time doesn’t make sense anymore.
Soooooo…because my laptop won’t be fixed until next month, I’m going to be realistic about my YouTube goals. ๐
Here’s what I accomplished last week:
Family/Mothering Goals:
1.
Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family2.ย
Read to my children 5xPersonal Goals:
3.
Do resistance band exercises 4x4.
Walk a total of 100 minutes on the treadmill5.
Read 10 pages of The Lord of the Rings (Part One) The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien— I’ve been using the Habit Streak Pro app to remind myself to read a little each day, and because of that, I’ve been consistently reading more than 10 pages per week, which means I could actuallyย finish this book before the end of the year! ๐6.
Journal 2xHome Management Goals:
7.ย Sew a few thingsย in our home that need it — I sewed one pair of pants, but I didn’t get to everything.
8.ย
Wash my makeup brushesBusiness Goals:
9. Shoot, edit, & upload three videos toย our family YouTube channelย — By the end of the week, we had our three videos, but I wasn’t able to edit and upload them all.
10. Shoot, edit,ย & upload twoย family vlogsย — I filmed two vlogs, but I didn’t get them edited and uploaded.
Here are my goals for this week:
Family/Mothering Goals:
1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family
2.ย Read to my children 5x
Personal Goals:
3. Do resistance band exercises 4x
4. Walk a total of 100 minutes on the treadmill
5. Read 10 pages of The Lord of the Rings (Part One) The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
6. Journal 2x
Home Management Goals:
7. Finish sewing thingsย in our home that need it
8.ย Fill one bag with items to donate
Business Goals:
9. Shoot, edit, & upload one new videoย toย our family YouTube channelย — I’m going to keep this goal super simple until my laptop gets fixed.
10. Shoot, edit,ย & upload oneย family vlogย — While I’m going to work at getting two vlogs filmed every week, for now, my goal will only be to get one vlog up on my channel. If I end up getting both vlogs up on YouTube, that’ll be a bonus!
What are your goals for this week?
Lydia @ Not Afraid of the Snow says
Not cool about your laptop! Scott and I are sharing a laptop right now. It works, but you are right they like to be on them at nights and I figure that they need that time.
Sandra says
Hi, Lydia! Yes, my husband likes to use the computer at night, and because he’s been at work all day, I’m happy to work on videos at another time.
Shelly says
Sandra, I’m so sorry your computer is dead. Good for you in adjusting your goals to make it work for your family. I hope you can get your computer fixed soon and it won’t cost too much. You did great on your other goals.
Sandra says
Hi, Shelly! Yes, my laptop not working is a huge bummer right now, and I wish we could run out and get it fixed, but alas…we have to wait until we have the money in our budget next month. Oh well. There are MUCH worse problems to have. ๐
