~*~Nestie Motivational Daily Check-In~*~

Babies are awesome. But when you hang out with the baby she's not like, "Um, dude, how are your goals and projects going?" She's like, "Um, feed me, jerk." When there?s less accountability it?s easy to slack off at doing things you really want to do.
So, since most of us Nest most days, the Nestie Motivation Check In was born. The purpose is to post about a goal or project that?s important to you so that your fellow Nesties know what you're up to and that "friend accountability" thing is created ?it can be something as small as getting out of the house every day or something as big as looking for a new job. All are welcome.
Here?s how it works:
To join:
Click on the ?Nesties? Projects? link in Larkster?s siggy and?
- Tell us what your project is.
- Tell us why it?s important to you.
- Tell us how you plan to go about achieving your goal / completing your project.
Larkster will put this information under your screen name on the members list at the beginning of the check in.
To participate / check in daily:
Just update us every weekday about your goal / project. How?s it coming? What did you do about it today? How are you feeling about it? That kind of thing.
If you can?t remember the details of someone?s project you can refresh your memory by clicking on ?Nesties? Projects?
Larkster will post check-ins every weekday in the AM and PM (PST). Larkster has a link in her siggy to a list of all the projects Nesties are undertaking and the daily check-in.

Re: ~*~Nestie Motivational Daily Check-In~*~
so...is this where i sign up??
1. Get A's in all 5 of my classes this semester
2. I need to get into grad school and hopefully get a full tuition scholarship.
3. Stay off the nest, prioritize my time, and stay focused. I *must* maintain a schedule.
I guess my first goal is getting caught up on DS's scrapbook/baby book. I really enjoyed looking at the baby book my mom did for me as a child. DH's book isn't filled out as much (he is the 3rd boy of 5 kids). My goal is to complete Ione page per day.
My other goal is to find a job. It's great being home with DS, but it's a strain on us. I want to try to find one job a day to apply for.
What shall I update? Just how I'm doing in general?
Well, last night I cut fabric the whole time the debate was on ... I got 19 full blankies cut, and the backing cut for 5 more cut ontop of that ... so it was pretty sucessfull evening. I don't know how much I'll get done tonight though if we decide to take the mouse to the pumpkin patch.
Wow ... my life is boring.

great idea!
do you know how to check responses threads you have posted, or replied to?
1. Update scrapbook/start baby journal for DS
2. My mom wrote in a blank journal when I was little. She wrote about my achievements, my growth, and just random stuff about my childhood. She kept it up all through my school years, and the last entry was the morning of my wedding day. She gave me the journal as a weddin gift. I'd like to do the same for DS.
3. I hope to write something in DS's journal at least once a month and I want to update DS's scrapbook monthly with pictures.

I want to join. DH is no good at keeping me responsible.
My most present goal is to go for a walk around the complex every day to get the mail. It gets me out of the house and breathing fresh air and also the short walk will hopefully help get the last of the baby weight off. Monkey also likes to watch the world go by in his carseat/stroller so it's good for him too.
Yup! You can use this thread to sign up or update / check-in.
Here is my check-in
I updated the "projects" list for the Check-In last night and am about to update it again while DD naps, so I feel like I'm off to a good start in terms of starting the motivational check-in.
I did a new blog entry last night after the debate. So, so far, two days of consistent entries. Woo-hoo! My goal for today re: learning about writing in an online medium is to find a site or a book or something about it. I wish they had "Building a Successful Blog For Dummies." I feel like that's about the level I'm at right now... But I'll keep plugging away!
I updated in the last one you posted. But can I add to mine?
c) project: fill out baby book and baby's first year calendar.
Importance: would like to get it done before I forget crucial info
How to complete: take 20-30 min a night over the next week and fill in the information.
Thanks!
I am having doubts that people will actual buy stuff from my etsy store. This doubt is always holding me back though, so I am going to keep working on it anyway. It would be silly to stop just because of doubt, right!
::chants, "must have confidence, must have confidence"::
Have faith, crackerjack! I'm sure you'll do well. Let us know when you get things up and running!
I haven't made any progress towards my project yet today. My little piglet has been on a feeding and fussing rampage, and no sleep for 2 days is definitely taking its toll.
But, its still early! I did write a bunch of thank you cards that I have wanted to get done, so at least I've done something...
Tomorrow's the day I join the gym! They're running a really good start-up special tomorrow only, so that's why I've had to wait.
To just get myself moving, instead of plopping myself on the floor with ds when we get home, I put him in the jogging stroller and took him and the dog for a walk in the neighborhood. I'm trying to take as much advantage of the beautiful fall weather before it gets yucky.
I have a few goals right now. 1st I want to lose some weight. The baby weight was easy for me for some reason, but I had some excess when I got BFP, so that's what I'm working on. I currently weigh 180, I'd love to lose 20 pounds by Thanksgiving (I know it's a very lofty goal...).
2nd I need to start on and keep up with B's baby book.
3rd I need to rework our budget and we need to stick to it (this will probably be the hardest for me).
DH is oot, but I went to a friend's house with DD and made dinner there. I have the meat for tomorrow night in the fridge already instead of the freezer.
Woo-hoo! You guys are doing a really good job at keeping up with stuff! You've motivated me to take another crack at learning about blogs and actually writing my blog tonight! Thanks!
