Getting work done in the right timelines & not extending beyond the work hours
Trying to prioritize mental health, with the state of current affairs, stress of work/economy, parenting challenges, etc. etc. Making sure I take time for hangs with family and friends, get my runs and rides in, and make time to read the books I want to read.ย
Ratcheting up fitness regimen again so I can be around this place as long as possible!
Cook something new (that my kids will actually eat)!
Sewing a linen Victorian cloak for a winter festival on 4th July - was hoping to embroider the collar - but I'm running out of time
I recently started learning a new language in Duolingo - at about a toddler's competency, if not their voracious rate. It could take a while, but I can already understand a few scattered words.
Complete my hiking resume to begin my journey to becoming a mountain guide.
My Current goal is to pull out my paper planner. Some things have changed in my life and i need the extra support my google calendar and sheets is not working at this time.ย
I'm trying to replace doomscrolling in the evenings with reading. My goal is to finish 2 books a month.ย
Personal: setting up good reading habits for myself and my family.ย My kids have joined a local library challenge for the next 6 weeks. They cross off each day after reading and there's various fun challenges to complete.ย It's winter here in Australia so we have set up cosy reading nooks and read together. I make sure to read each night before bed.
Work: Getting all our teams set up and trained on how to assign effort to tasks and use Wrike for resource management and workload planning.
Sarah Wagner that's a tough habit to break! Something that has helped me is having books placed where I can easily access them i.e on the coffee table in the lounge room so they are more visible to me and to encourage me to pick up a book instead of scrolling. Doesn't always work but I'm getting better!
One of my work goals right now is to let go of the things that are "easy" so i can become more consistent with my team.
Passing the PMP (Project Manager Professional)!ย
My current personal OKR is to launch a "company projects" Wrike space so we can stop duplicating information into a spreadsheet. I have the space framework built out, but when I built a dashboard I discovered a lot of existing data in the system from before I joined that needs to be cleaned up. Last week, I carved out some time and cleaned up over 100 old projects, most of which should have been folders to start with. ๐ฅฒ I still have some cleanup left but I'm feeling good about the process I've made!
Reduce the number and length of meetings to create more time for focused work.ย
My new challenge is knitting my first pullover! Bulky yarn cozy for when winter comes around. Sleeves in progress! A few modifications from the pattern could have been made, but those thoughts of course come with trying something for the first time.
Personally ... getting back on track with my eating habits.ย Professionally ... changing the mindset of the operations team regarding the data feeds we request.
Major health kick for me, time to get my heath in order, lose weight and get healthy.
Better work Life balance.ย I feel like it is pretty good now but need to pump it up to the extreme whilst the kids are young.ย Once they are older and don't think Dad is cool anymore I can focus back on work.ย ย
Working on my health and adding more fitness to my routine this year ๐ช๐ป!
Personal: get through summer marathon training and run a good race in Sydney, AUS!
Work: I've undertaken an extensive audit of our Wrike processes and the team is implementing new features that better align teams...and...taking on governance to tame the wild west of our Wrike instance!
Trying to get my PMP certification. My application was accepted and now I am studying for the exam.ย
Less smartphone time, more smart time ;-)
Earn my PMP certification by the end of the year.ย I am currently enrolled in a PMP course and will likely submit my application next month.ย
Becoming better in skateboarding
My goal is to be better at DIY; painting, repairs and builds in my new apartment are much needed.
