keeping the momentum

I wasn’t able to meet my goal yesterday, which actually would have made up for what I missed on Friday and Saturday as WELL as Sunday’s goal.  I had lots of plans for yesterday, including cleaning part of the apartment, going to the grocery store, writing, and hanging out with friends.  I got as far as a shower and some writing, thanks to being felled by a mid-afternoon migraine.  Thankfully I felt better by about 7, but I am so tired post-migraine that it’s hard for me to do much else.  I have under 2,000 more words to write to catch up, which I feel confident that I can do tonight.

The important thing to me was that I had written something.  I feel a lot better having only written a little rather than not writing at all.  I really want to buckle down and get a bunch done this week, because I know that this weekend I’m going to be in happy new iPhone owner land, going out on a date with my husband, hanging out with friends and generally relaxing.  I have to keep the momentum going through the week to make my August goal.

    Good luck with the whole “momentum” thing. It’s good to have deadlines, until you don’t meet them.

    There seems to be a lot of migraines in your life :( Those aren’t fun to deal with. I hope they can find a cure. My mom used to get them all the time. Good luck.

    Jess,

    Yes, good luck with your goals. I think it’s wonderful that you’ve set these goals for yourself and you’re working toward meeting them. But I’m sorry you’re having migraines. :(

    I wish I could motivate myself to do what you’re doing! :D Keep it up!
