New Year New Me - Deja Vu (2013)

Okay.  New Year New Me.... Again.  Let's see if this will last.

12/31/2012 - Tomorrow is the beginning of a new year.  Instead of waiting, let's see if my new plan works.  It is a modified version of the Mary Kay Plan:
God First
Me Second
Family third
Career Fourth
Plan B Fifth.

Everyone says to make sure that you handle the big things and the little things will fit in.  Let's see.

God First:  Everyday, I need to thank God for all that he has given me.  For every single problem I have, there are hundreds of thousands of people that would like to upgrade to my problems.

Me Second:  this is not the selfish thinking of only myself 'me'. Normally, I put EVERYONE ahead of my needs.  Seriously, even the mailman!  So now, for at least one hour each week,  I will focus on at least one of those things that help improve my quality of life. This encompasses: Mental Health(Reading/Inspirational/Self-improvement/Pedicure), Physical Health(refocus on weight loss, nutrition, etc), Financial health (Budgeting/Record Keeping/etc), Environmental activities(House keeping (ugh)/ House improvements).

Family Third: Make sure that I contact and connect with each member of my family everyweek.  Need to create a schedule on that.

Career Fourth:  Generally, this has been first.  I personally need to look at no more than 50 hours a week and really only look at 40 hours a week.  That's the 'plan'.

Plan B fifth:  My Mary Kay Business.  Note that this alone fits into multiple categories but I want to ensure that I spend at least one hour a week focusing on the business - outside of the team meetings.

I signed up for flylady.net to help me start being organized.  Realized I did not have anything to do step one with, so went to Walmart.  They happened to have all types of organizational things as well.  So I have organizational stuff as well as getting my flylady.net stuff done.

Back tomorrow for further info.
