Weekly Resolutions

[ 2 March 2008 ]

Weekly Resolutions

Hello, hello, it’s Monday! Time to weigh in on your weekly resolutions! How did you do?

I guess I aced 3/5 of mine. I didn’t manage to plan any outfits or do any of my iCiNG admin stuff (boo!), but I did drink lots of water, eat properly & work on my podcast. So, yay!

So, what’s stopping me (& you) from ticking off the items on your list?

I think it’s really important for us to go easy on ourselves. It’s just a week — 7 days. You can get a lot done in that time, but if you put immense pressure on yourself (& your ‘to do’ list is pages long), it’s not going to go as well. It’s always better to do a few things really well than a whole lot of things half-heartedly!

I use my Moleskine to organise myself day to day, & every day I have at least five things that need to be done. The difference is that my weekly resolutions are something that span the whole week — it doesn’t matter what day I do them, & sometimes it’s something that needs attention every day (like eating lots of fresh vegetables or drinking litres of water). That’s why I find having my weekly resolutions written down on a card next to my computer is really helpful — I look at them whenever I have “down time” & it reminds me of where I’m heading.

So, in keeping with that, this week I’m keeping my resolutions simple.

<3 Work on (& release) podcast!
I’ve been idly fiddling with it but I’m going to put some time aside & compile it for real! I am toying with a new format — something longer & a bit meatier! (Or fake-meatier, if you prefer…) Hopefully you guys will all love it & I’ll do one every week & it will another fabulously-hued feather in the iCiNG cap!

<3 Lots of daily outfit photos!
I know that you guys like them & I haven’t been very forthcoming with my sartorial efforts! I’m going to try harder this week — haha! I have lots to do & lots of places to go this week so I will take lots of shots for you!

<3 Polish boots
I am terrible with polishing my boots… My New Rocks really need it…

<3 Write oodles of great content!
This goes without saying, really, but I want to step it up in a big way this week.

What do you want to get done this week?

Oh, & just like with Things I Love Thursday, I’ve whipped up some Weekly Resolution badges for you to use if you want to. You can see them here!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. i am having a hard time thinking of any ‘fun’ resolutions lately, as they are usually “drink more water” and “swim & yoga” etc!
    but anyway, this week’s are those plus no smoking (i falter with this when drinking) & DRAW DRAW DRAW!

    x

    <3 Natasja · Mar 2, 07:07 PM · #
  2. Last week I did send off the email! So yay! But nothing has come of it. So boo. I also managed to chill out and slept for 4 hours on Saturday afternoon. And I did some music editing and choreography, but I didn’t do any of the other stuff. Hmm.

    This week I am focusing on getting organised to teach my first ballet classes on Thursday. That’s big! And I might try and fit in a visit to my sister on Friday.

    Gala, do you think each time you could add in a link to the previous weekly resolutions post, so that we can check what we said last Monday?

    <3 Nadine · Mar 2, 07:24 PM · #
  3. Natasja — You can tap for that ;D But I know what you mean, alcohol often makes me want to smoke.

    Nadine — Done & done. Thanks for the suggestion babycakes!

    <3 Gala · Mar 2, 07:26 PM · #
  4. I haven’t shared my weekly resolutions yet, but why not? More motivation to get them done & have something to delight about in next Monday’s post!

    I am off to the city now (its a public holiday in Perth today) to buy some new cds & new books. No more trashy magazines or passing time on the train reading celebrity gossip sites! I want to go back to reading delicious, engrossing, intelligently written books that stick with you and make you think. Today I’m hoping to find other Francesca Lia Block books (using your post on them for reference!) since I read Dangerous Angels so long ago, its time I rediscovered the magic.

    Eating healthy for better body image & physical energy, drinking even more water than usual to hydrate my poor sunburn! Keeping my desk & bedroom floor organised so I don’t keep running late because I can’t find anything, & as I said above embracing my creativity and intelligence again with beautiful books and music! That’s my goals for this week!

    Thank you for your every day inspiration Gala & fellow nonpariels! =) =)

  5. my first time doing weekly resolutions, so here they are.
    ~~ Eat healthy food…Last week was verrrrrrry bad lol.
    ~~ Get my CV done…need to start applying for jobs to save for Polytech.
    ~~ Spring clean (Autumn clean?) my room…way overdue.
    ~~ Save money…for Easter break holiday going to Mount Maunganui love that place.

    Thanks for the great idea for weekly resolutions gala :D

    <3 Sammie · Mar 2, 07:55 PM · #
  6. I did all of last week’s resolutions, yay! I need to get slightly better at the sleep thing still though.

    This week I have one resolution and one resolution only:

    Do my application for my Master’s degree!

    <3 Lady Julianne le Fay · Mar 2, 08:17 PM · #
  7. I am on vacation so I have oodles of time, and yet seem to be dissapearing it so this would be a good thing.

    My weekly resolutions are

    1) To wake up every day, shower, get dressed, full on makeup before 1pm (teehee!) seriously though the urge to just lollygag about in my hotel room in my comfy bed, cable tv and my laptop is tempting.

    2) To shop er I mean WALK at least 1/2 a day even though its a vacation its no excuse to ignore cardio, at least I can spot shops while I do rounds of malls and city blocks.

    3) To buy a pair of shoes (or more if theres some great styles) at tall girl/crest, i have these huge feet because i’m tall its hard to shop but their stuff is rare and good quality and I can only get them in this city.

    4) To think about what I’m eating before I eat it, even if I eat that gazzilion caloried cheese cake, i have to think about it first and accept the consequences. (IE try not to eat too much grease becuase then shoping isn’t fun if i feel all icky!)

    5) Relax… because thats the point of my vaccay :)

    <3 kay · Mar 2, 08:21 PM · #
  8. Is it possible for you to get your lovely podcast up on iTunes? It would be so easy to subscribe! Just point and click and then the lovely episodes fall into my digital library like puffs of meringue!

    Love and peanut butter/choclate fudge cupcakes! ♥

    <3 Kennedy · Mar 2, 08:27 PM · #
  9. Well I did contact a designer to see if I can get an invitation to his show at Fashion Week Mexico.

    I studied for my Data Structure exam in which I got an 8/10.

    And I managed to almost drink 4 lts of water everyday.

    This week my resolutions are:

    Stay the whole day at college for Anahuac Day (concert included)
    Study for Accounting, Microeconomics and Operative Systems
    Finish my OS practice
    Design a template for my mailing list

    <3 Juls · Mar 2, 08:28 PM · #
  10. Lady Julianne le Fay — Ooooooh, good luck!

    kay — I am at that point with food now too. I look at it & think “Yum” & then I go, “Wait, that’s going to make me break out & feel sluggish for two days”, & I pass…

    Kennedy — That’s my plan! xx

    Juls — Yay, good for you! I have my fingers crossed for you :>

    <3 Gala · Mar 2, 08:30 PM · #
  11. x To start keeping a money diary, so that I can try and work out where all my money goes! It’s not one of the most wildly exciting or mindblowingly fun resolutions, but my spending has been a little out of control recently and as my rent/etc. is increasing, my spending needs to decrease!

    x To exercise – this and waking up earling have been my resolutions for the past two weeks, and if there were a report card for resolutions, mine would have a big F! I promise I’m going to go for a big walk tomorrow.

    x To experiment with my make-up at least one day this week – while I did break out some sparkly pink eyeshadow on the weekend, I do tend to get stuck in my eyeliner rut – so for at least one day this week, I’m going to try something new!

    x To smile more and be happy :)

    xoxo

    <3 x C x · Mar 2, 08:42 PM · #
  12. i did pretty well last week, so i’m keepin my list short too!

    -practice ballet once by myself this week

    -spend less time watching and viewing mindless websites and television

    -research scholarships and grants

    -create a couple hats and post them in my etsy store

    good luck everyone!

    <3 natalie · Mar 2, 09:06 PM · #
  13. My resolutions for this week are:

    Go walking every afternoon.
    Eating better. Include more vegetables in my meals.
    Do daily bible reading.
    To pray.

    <3 D! · Mar 2, 09:18 PM · #
  14. Oh man. I’m going to start small and only list one this week, and that is to FINISH REDOING MY ROOM. I’m actually in the middle of it right now. Literally, I’m taking a break before we move the new shelves in. I’m trying to get it less cluttered, because it just stresses me out so much! Hopefully I’ll be able to get it done!

    <3 Sophia · Mar 2, 09:23 PM · #
  15. This is my first list! And post on galadarling, for that matter. Exciting!

    1. Do 10 minutes of pilates ab work every day (satin prom dress, ladies, very unforgiving.)

    2. Finish Creativity/Action/Service write-up sheets.

    3. Do AT LEAST 4 calculus problems per worksheet IN CLASS

    4. I like the one about creative makeup one day this week, thanks for the inspiration, x C x! I own turquoise eyeliner… perhaps?

    5. Practice my Spanish oral about Guillermo del Toro every day until Thursday!

    Pretty ambitious (for me…) wish me luck!

    <3 Kayla · Mar 2, 09:39 PM · #
  16. Aaaah… I never posted them, but I often do daily ones.

    Weekly resolutions for me:

    1. Drink even LESS soda.(Last week’s was “drink less”, so I’ve got that down. Now I have to make sure it’s only when I’m out places— I’ve gotten into the habit of downing a can of coke or two every day. Eeeeeep.)

    2. Polish boots. (I share the same problem with my combat boots..)

    3. Stop procrastinating.

    4. Finish reading Umberto Eco book.

    5. Go to bed earlier.

    6. Put in lush order.

    It doesn’t sound difficult, but most of these are hard habits to break. ^^;;

    <3 hyuju · Mar 2, 09:55 PM · #
  17. My resolutions this week are fairly simple. I just have to motivate myself to get moving! It’s the week before my school’s spring break and my brain is already trying to wind down.

    Resolutions:
    -finish my last essay for English 2
    -pack for spring break trip home
    -work out twice this week
    -eat more fruit

    And totally unrelated to this post but I just wanted to share that my school hosted a preformance of a mind reading duo (The Evasons) last week and after the show they stayed around and chatted and answered questions. Well, I chatted with the lady for a little about EFT. :) She had heard of it and offered to pass along any info she might find about it. I was just excited she knew what it was. :)

    <3 Mandy · Mar 2, 09:55 PM · #
  18. And I love all the new participation banners Gala.

    <3 Mandy · Mar 2, 09:57 PM · #
  19. Hmm… A propos of last week’s resolutions, I can say that I’ve completed 3/4.
    Not bad!
    I only have to do some personal “spring-cleaning”. Things like, dust out my mind (by writing oodles of pages), clean up my act (by clearing up my wardrobe frustration, and stop solely eating sugar-filled foods), and get more creative. I have some painting projects I want to achieve, and to finish writing a story.

    Good luck everyone for this week!

    <3 Retro.Bunny · Mar 2, 10:08 PM · #
  20. i just want to let you know that i read your site all the time and i absolutely love it! keep up the great work! speaking of work….the other day when i was at work [i’m a cashier for now…paying for college…haha] i was ringing up a bag of gala apples and it said “sweet&snappy”...it made me think of you, ironically. thought i’d let you know :)

    <3 danixdangerrr · Mar 2, 10:15 PM · #
  21. This week:

    Resist the temptation to dress down. Just because I’m tired and painting/studying all day and night is no excuse to resort to any kind of pedestrian uniform! Naughty girl!

    Go through my thoughts and options for my final year projects, figure out where my interests really lie and how to work with them. Convince my lecturers that any idea I present to them is interesting and viable.

    Don’t have a heart attack re: the above (can this be a resolution?)

    Don’t allow my eating habits to slip because of schedule. Continue upping my intake of whole grains.

    Set obsessive male straight, be assertive and don’t back down or allow him to martyr/victimise himself at your expense (this is very important and must be done sooner rather than later)

    I did most of last week’s, so that give me hope for this week! I really think this is a fantastic idea, Gala.

    <3 Natalie · Mar 2, 10:54 PM · #
  22. my resolutions are…
    + to go running at least twice this week, in addition to dance. I’ve been doing ballet 2x a week, but my rugby season starts in a month and I’m going on a 2 week backpacking trip for spring break, and I just realised how completely out of shape I am. eep!
    +to not fail my physiology midterm (tomorrow morning)
    +to finish my study away applications for next semester!
    +to be nicer to my housemates. I have been swamped in work and the kitchen is a mess, so I have been rather snappy lately, which is not good.

    I am so excited for podcasts! perhaps I will listen to them while I run for extra motivation. it is quite cold here in New England, and I always have to hype myself up in order to brave the snow, even though I know I’ll feel better after.

    <3 emelline · Mar 2, 10:54 PM · #
  23. I saw this great YouTube video with Jack Canfield and he said that making resolutions on a weekly or even daily basis gives your unconscious mind more time to make the stuff happen in the easiest and speediest way possible. It pretty much says that if you plan your time then you are 3 times more likely to succeed and to spend your time wisely because your mind is prepared and more resistant to sabotage. I love this idea! :)Bring on the resolutions!

    <3 Sarah Prout · Mar 2, 11:14 PM · #
  24. Congratulations on sticking to your resolutions! This week I plan on 1.Taking my dog for a walk every day 2. Not snacking after dinner and 3. Pay my library fines! Wish me luck!

    <3 nicole · Mar 2, 11:48 PM · #
  25. apply for a job at the zoo

    find some less exciting jobs to apply for and actually do it

    completely organise my 21st party

    <3 Nina · Mar 3, 12:03 AM · #
  26. a new week & a new month!

    i couldn’t get in touch with someone i had to meet for that modelling stuff, boo. but today is the big day, i’m waiting for some calls.

    . spend more time with friends

    have a lucky week!!

    <3 irmak · Mar 3, 12:25 AM · #
  27. I completed most of my resolutions last week! Especially my “do well on my maths test” one – I scored 90% (I was thinking I’d get 60%, at the most)!! AND it was one of the highest scores in my class! I am very happy.

    Anyway, this week mine are…

    -Decorate my new room! I just moved house and I have a lovely bedroom so I want to keep it looking nice, and give it some style!

    -Organize a house-warming party for myself, hahaha.

    -Practise piano more.

    -I’d like to write more great content for my blog, too.

    <3 Miri · Mar 3, 12:27 AM · #
  28. I shamefully didn’t keep track of mine last week, but this week I intend to write myself little notes to stick up to remind me. :)

    - Keep drinking lots of water – Look after my skin – Practice different make up looks for my deb next week!

    <3 Ally · Mar 3, 12:35 AM · #
  29. -Be brave enough to go to the first Buddhist class by myself
    -Make my smoked almonds last the whole week (they’re not that expensive but I fear they’re fattening and ADDICTIVE)
    -Talk to at least one new person in my tutorials at Uni
    -Do a practice run to the place I’m volunteering at in two weeks time so that I’m not late or nervous on the day.

    <3 Jacinta · Mar 3, 12:53 AM · #
  30. *Sign up for music lessons *Join AFTRA *Go to the library for homework every day *Take at least 1 dance class *Follow-up with the jobs I’ve applied for *Keep applying for p/t jobs

    Now it’s out into the universe, and I have to follow through!

    <3 Sylvia · Mar 3, 01:40 AM · #
  31. Ugh, I haven’t been doing this yet… And I’ve missed TILT for weeks now. Must start doing these things again.

    Internships-Call all the organizations I researched last Friday about possible summer positions.
    Drink water-No forgetting my water bottle in my room anymore. I carry a 24 oz water bottle almost everywhere, and the goal is going to be to drink one full bottle before lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and one after dinner, every day all week.
    Lines-I need to be completely off book for Vagina Monologues! I’m almost there, but I hesitate a moment too long when we’re performing, and I don’t know the intro I’m doing at all.
    Increase productivity-Big one, as I spend far too much time futzing about not doing work, and since I’m spending next weekend playing Ultimate in a big tournament, I need to get as much as I can done during the week this week.
    Write-I haven’t been writing at all since I got to college. I want to sit down at least twice this week with that lovely Moleskin I bought during my winter break, and write whatever comes to me for at least twenty minutes.

    That’s five, and should be plenty. Time to copy them onto a piece of paper and stick it on my desk!

    <3 Rachel · Mar 3, 02:34 AM · #
  32. This week I plan to get ALL my Art coursework done and edit my English essays. :D And if possible I’ll also get some graphics coursework done. I will also try to exercise once a day and not pig out on food.

    And you know what? I WILL do it!

    Sorry, I’m in a very happy mood this morning. :3

    <3 Thistle · Mar 3, 02:46 AM · #
  33. Haha, I so read that as pole-ish boots. shakes head

    I love the fact that you provide inspiration to others about how they can take control of their lives and enjoy themselves and generally be pro active about loving life and themselves!

    It’s nice to see when negativity and tall-poppy syndrome is seemingly all around.

    Kudos to you, Gala.

    <3 Amy Lou · Mar 3, 03:19 AM · #
  34. hey Gala, just wondering— how’s your daily bedhead photo collection coming along? it’d be nice to read about it (as well as see, hehe)! you mentioned it along with other things to do this new year.

    take care!

    <3 christie · Mar 3, 04:28 AM · #
  35. Mine are pretty similar again – have exams. (eek!)
    So:

    - Study every day.

    - Eat healthy balanced regular meals – managed this last week so am going to try and up the fruit and veg this week

    - Get to bed before 12

    - Remember to breathe – must remember to let myself relax occasionally, so will set aside some time everyday to do something else, like this!

    :)

    <3 jenny · Mar 3, 04:38 AM · #
  36. 1. drink more water
    2. ironing
    3. finish the Charles Dickens novel I’m reading

    <3 Sonja · Mar 3, 04:56 AM · #
  37. christie — Aww, since I have extensions now I don’t really get bedhead! I have to sleep with my hair in a ponytail or braids so it doesn’t get all knotty in my sleep… !

    <3 Gala · Mar 3, 05:35 AM · #
  38. =] i’ve only just discovered your site Gala…
    (Thanks 2 an old Cosmo)
    and I have a few resolutions:

    1)Find a job! it’s not as easy as it can seem =]
    2)Keep in touch with a friend that’s going through a tough time. She hasn’t got a phone atm, so it looks like it’ll be a lot of old fashioned going around 2 her house :D
    3)Pack 4 a trip away (packing as lil as possible but also enough not to panic that i haven’t got anything to wear!)
    4)Visit friends =] (actually MAKE time to see them face to face.. No boyfriends, no having to run off!)
    Fingers crossed. :D
    GoOd Luck

    <3 Kirsten · Mar 3, 05:50 AM · #
  39. So… By order of importance:

    # Get up early and write! Yes, everyday! # Try to relax more. # Clean the appartment. Evil dustbunnies are threatening to take over the place. # Put clothes I’ve already decided I won’t wear on eBay. # Think about my thesis, try to clarify the subject. # Get sewing done. Start a new sewing project.

    <3 Theremina · Mar 3, 06:13 AM · #
  40. I did absolutely horribly…I didn’t do any of them except look through my feeds and unsubscribe to those I don’t read. And that wasn’t even IMPORTANT and the others absolutely were so, so important. Blah, so here I go again with most of the same resolutions:

    - Attend all of my classes this week & complete any assignments by their due date.

    - Finish Still Life with Woodpecker (I did START it, which is good! But then I got a FLB book in the mail and stopped reading it to read that…I’m bad).

    - Wake up at the same time every day this week (6:30 is the goal). Starting tomorrow, because I woke up today at 12 AM. Ahem.

    - Write every day.

    - Go shopping for jeans (ew, I hate shopping for jeans).

    - Go to Disneyland (AKA: Take advantage of annual pass that I rarely use and really need to be using…).

    - Clean up rooms and organize things a bit. Ahem, in other words, do not use your bed as your bookshelf and closet.

    C’est il. Or whatever “That’s it” is. I’m behind on French work too.

    <3 Elizabeth · Mar 3, 07:02 AM · #
  41. Elizabeth: it would be “C’est tout.” ^^

    <3 Theremina · Mar 3, 07:06 AM · #
  42. Well I had ten things on my weekly resulutions list and I did pretty well. Maybe b plus! One was no coffee after 8pm and I only did that once, eat fruit everyday and I did every day except Saturday, six others I completed, one I started (A list of stuff to do before leaving Japan) and one I didn`t get to (Do something else on my life list)

    My goals this week are

    - Blog 3 times or more – Take at least one good photo everyday
    -Start going through the piles of books and manga in our apartment and pack up what I will give away. Make Shun do the same – 2 loads of washing (I am terrible at this)
    -Finish at least half of junni`s scarf – Write in my journal at least 5 times during the week
    -Rent Heros to watch with Shun – Print pictures
    -Eat fruit everyday – No coffee after 8pm! – Try to come up with a wedding theme or colour scheme…

    I have started writing my weekly resolutions on the train every Monday morning! I love it!

    <3 Lulu · Mar 3, 08:44 AM · #
  43. yay, I only left one resolution un-done!

    My goals this week:
    -Trying to go every day to the uni (lazyness! but I should go everyday)
    -Clean the inside of my car (is full of sand and beach related stuff)
    -Resolve my dilema with WoW
    -Try to make new friends! Or at least talk to new people xD
    -Plan my outfits for the uni ahead…I wanna make a greeaat impression! (I don’t wanna look like the 80% of the girls there)

    <3 fran · Mar 3, 10:08 AM · #
  44. Oh Gala, this is fantastic. In fact, I made a banner to use on my blog a few days ago and was planning on making my post after I read my RSS Feed this morning and there you are with other wonderful banners! I’ll send you the one I made in case you want to add it to the list. It’s nice to stay focused and goal-orientated, great post! Here’s a link to mine: www.doc

    <3 Mae Jane · Mar 3, 11:22 AM · #
  45. I finished everything but writing last week, which was okay because my writer’s group got canceled.

    So for this week:

    * Write more!

    with an added exclamation since I didn’t do it last week :)

    I posted the rest on my blog: kitsuneh.livejournal.com/

    Lovely to contribute and read as always.

    <3 AFriendlyMonster · Mar 3, 11:56 AM · #
  46. ♥ Update my blog at least once a week

  53. Gala, how do you plan your outfits? do you try random things on then write them down? and how is ur wardrobe arranged? by colour or by tops, bottoms, coats…. always wondered about this (:!xxx

  54. Melanie Jean — My wardrobe is organised by colour (white through black), but I have a chest of drawers organised by type (stockings, socks, warm tops, other tops, pants, skirts). & I have another little drawer set thing with my underwear, hats, scarves, gloves & other accessories in it… & as for planning, usually I stand in front of my closet for a while, pick something & work around it. But it depends, I often go through a few changes before settling on something. When I am feeling super-meticulous I plan on an index card ;D

  55. since i’ve finally quit my hellish corporate job (yay!), my to-do list for the week is centered around my own business.

    ~write press releases to promote my professional organizing business!
    ~finish writing my “sort out your life” pamphlet for use as a marketing give-away tool (i’m going to be sending out a “press kit” of sort to friends and family so they can help pimp my services)
    ~leave loads of business cards at local shops
    ~write and post craigslist ads….yay for free advertising!

  56. hmmm … I’m procrastinating on writing right now. Maybe I should play this week.

    * WRITE! Something like 8-10 pages this week. * finish grading my students’ papers from last week, this week, and their creative projects. * finish reverse applique T-shirt for friend’s bday. * work out 4-5 times this week. * eat mostly raw fruits and veggies, every day. * photograph my recent wardrobe purges and email photos to girlfriends for clothing swap * tidy and vaccuum the upstairs office/studio space I share with Mr. Wonderful.

    * pack one box, as a ritual celebration of my upcoming move! It’s not ‘till summer, but I don’t care!! I’m SO excited about getting into my 1st choice doctoral program and going back to family, friends, my wonderful mentors and one of my favorite cities. This seems like a really appropriate way to celebrate, PLUS it’s one step toward making the whole thing happen! hurray! (can you tell I’m really excited?)

    thanks, Gala! I love this cheering team. I hope I get this all done, I’d be a happy camper. =)
