How to Get Back on Track

What to do when life derails your best-laid plans.

I was on a roll. I really was. Blogging everyday until I’m out of debt. Getting dressed everyday for 100 days. Weekly DIY projects. Keeping up with my planning. Decluttering my house, one room at a time.

And then a week ago, I woke up with my heart racing, went to the hospital, and three days later came home with all my goals in chaos.

I’m not 100 percent off track. I’m just not quite as on track as I was last week.

I thought tonight I’d write about my plan for straightening the chaos out again. One goal at a time.

Naming the Things

I’m starting here. Just a list of the things I was on track with a week ago. Nothing extra. Nothing more than what I was actually doing.

• Blogging everyday until I’m out of debt.
• Getting dressed everyday for 100 days. (I’m on day 40 or so.)
• One small DIY renovation project a week in my Victorian house.
• Declutter one room a month.

That’s it. Four things.

What will it take to set things right?
