I’ve been slow getting geared up for this quarter, which is now somehow nearly one-third over. Hey, how did that happen?
But I’ve finally put together my list of things I want to get done by the end of June. That still gives me two solid months.
My theme for this quarter is back to basics.
Like most (recovering) perfectionists, I can sometimes* overcomplicate things and get bogged down in unnecessary detail. (*sometimes = always, pathologically, without fail)
So in each area of my life I’ve tried to simplify, to concentrate on what matters most, and to let the rest look after itself.
To help me stay focused and motivated, I’ve written up a checklist of items on my office whiteboard. I can’t wait to start marking them off as I complete them – that’s the best part!!
My Back-To-Basics Goals
The areas I’ll be working on between now and the end of June are:
Get Organized Wizard
- Adding one or two new programs – including a 21-Day Simplify Your Life Challenge, inspired by this quarter’s theme
- Making some site changes
- Continuing to write regular blog posts and a weekly newsletter
52 Weight Loss Missions
- Relaunching the weight loss program with a new name (thanks for the feedback everyone!)
- Making some site changes
iPhone/iPad/Android Apps
- Working on new app ideas
New Writing Site
- Launching my new site about writing – I’m super-excited about this one!
Health & Fitness
- Getting back to my regular weight (since giving up Coke Zero I’ve gone up a size and no longer fit into my clothes 🙁 )
Personal
- Continuing to learn to sing
- Working on being more direct and honest, rather than ‘nice’
- Streamlining my Facebook profile and organizing my friends lists.
How About You?
So that’s what I’ll be up to – how about you?
What would you like to focus on achieving by the end of June?
What will your theme be?
Organizing my home business. I am in the process of moving…….moving….moving. It keeps raining in Memphis each day we plan to move. So, I keep packing and upacking documents that I need.
Good luck with the move Katrina!

I love your list!
love thinking about this! hmm… 60 days… what would I like to accomplish by the end of June?
With a little focus we can achieve quite a lot in that time, Kay. 🙂
I have started a 365 day blog. I am blogging about actions I take every day to move my business (Nurse Entrepreneur Network) forward. This has served to keep me very focused on my business of the past month.
What a neat idea LeaRae!
I am back to focusing on losing some weight now our month long holiday in nz is over, and getting more organised with my photography study and learning photoshop. Then of course there is the constant de clutter made so much more challenging now my hoarder husband has retired and can see me go to chuck stuff so he rescues it, as he will have a use one day, like never. driving me crazy. I just want to get organised and free of all the clutter.
Good luck with those goals, Chris!
Re your husband, can you encourage him to maintain his hoarding in one or two rooms? That way you can close the door and shut it out of your mind. Alternatively, can you negotiate a room for yourself where you can have peace and order?

I’ve been so focused on my biz that I’ve lost balance with health and fitness. I’m back on it though! Thanks for your motivation 🙂
That happens to me too! Good on you for getting back on track. 🙂
