july 2019 goals post

The first step to improving ourselves is admitting that none of us are exactly where we want to be. Whether you're using this to help you get back on the wagon, climbing on the wagon for the first time, or just trying to upgrade to a better wagon, only a few people join the Knights with superpowers that let them skip the hard work phase (and hey, a lot of our superheroes spend more time in the training room than anyone). To that end, use this post to set at least one goal for yourself for July.

Example goals could be: setting a weight lost goal, a calorie intake goal, vowing to exercise x amount of times a week, deciding to start learning Swahili/Spanish/Elvish, teaching yourself something, reading so many books, doing something positive for your mental health every day, etc! You can find more examples from people in the past here.

As an added incentive, if you check in regularly, you can earn XP for your bank and your characters!

Check in for 1 week straight = 250xp
Check in for 2 weeks straight = 500xp
Check in for 3 weeks straight = 750xp
Check in for the entire month of July daily = 1000xp!

A check-in requires posting on every single check-in post that goes up with something you did to help you reach your goals or improve yourself that day. We will cash in your earned XP on the next monthly goals post, and you can then decide how to divvy up what you've earned among your characters, based on how much you want to imply they've been training off-screen!

Happy goals, KOL-ers!

RP

✚ 5 Tags a day (Mon-Fri)
✚ 10 Tags a day (Weekend)
✚ Mission tags every day
✚ Keep trying to branch out/tag into things. I tend to fall into the trap of top-leveling a lot, not because I'm too lazy to tag into things but because I actually worry people may not want to interact with that character etc. I gotta work at not letting that rule me.

Health & Fitness

✚ Drink more water
✚ More home cooked meals (Cooked, not microwaved)
✚ Aim to use my cycling thing at least 1-2 times a week
✚ Look into pricing, saving for and buying a recumbent bike so I can exercise and read

Work/Life Balance

✚ No staying back more than 15 minutes
✚ No skipping lunch
✚ Stop responding to work Skypes & Emails from home

Other

✚ Keep up the daily cleaning
✚ Price and arrange for somebody to come remove the stupid pile of sand on my front verge and the gravel at the side of the house :|
✚ Arrange for a skip bin to throw out a bunch of stuff
✚ Lodge my tax return
✚ Keep making time to read
✚ Make a list of projects I want down around the house, make budgets to go with them and map out how to go about knocking things off the list! Even if each project needs to be broken up and achieved over a period of time.
✚ Start a savings plan / look into getting an account where I can't easily access the money so I can/will actually save money.
