Thread: What are your goals for the week/month?

I have decided to set myself my goals lately so I can get more done. I'm not really the kind of person that gets things done on time but if I set a weekly or monthly goal I get it done better. Like for this month I finished one donation quilt and on my way to finishing another one. By the weekend I am going to bast another quilt while finishing hand quilting my aunts quilt.

My question is "Do you set yourself a weekly or monthly goal?"
"Did you finish any UFO's"
"If you have a goal is there any kind of order you go in?"

Same here (almost) I like to quilt among everything else and I like to do one quilt at a time from start to finish. I have a long list of things I want to do and I do them when it pleases me. No deadline anymore. I had enough of that in my profesionnal career. One thing leads to another one and I like to keep busy, so it works well for me.

I get less accomplished now being retired than when I was working. How do we loose so many hours of the day when we retire? However, when I was working ,I didn't have DSL on my computer ,only dial up- so using the computer wasn't as exciting .I agree with you, each day that we "accomplish something" is a happy day.

I do try to set myself monthly goals which I break down into weekly targets. This does help me to achieve things although I rarely meet the targets. They are more like nudges to keep me going and gets things done. This week my targets are to finish 8 placemats gift for my DDIL. I have struggled with these as they made with coated fabric very difficult to sew. Whenever I encounter problems I tend to leave it and close the sewing room door! Made myself go in tonight and finish them then wrapped them and took round to my DDIL, she lives in next street. She liked them so,that was ok. Also want to at least start quilting a mystery train ride quilt and also do some knitting. I write it all down and it's great to cross things off even if they are not done within the time scale.
