How I Plan for Success and the Tools I Use: July 2024 Update
Bullet Journal, Tody, Google Calendar, Stoicism, Atomic Habits, and my Word of the Year
I was happily rolling along through 2024 until April when I fell off the rails with a pain in my foot that wouldn’t go away. I decided to pull back until I could get in to see the doctor and stopped all of my extra walking, weekly dancing, and going to the gym 3–4 times each week. This sent my mood into the depths of despair (ok, maybe not quite that far down, but still), and threw me completely off course. How I didn’t foresee that happening I have no idea considering how much I’ve written about how much better I feel all the time since I’ve started walking daily and regularly.
The pain in my foot may or may not be arthritis and comes and goes as it pleases, so I don’t know if there is anything I can do about it or how serious it is, but I’m back to walking at least 7500 steps daily and dancing weekly with the gym on hold for a couple more months.
Reflection
In June, I spent a fair amount of time reviewing my January plans and goals and the progress I’m making on them, the tools I’m using, what’s working and what isn’t.
