June 13 Update – Week 20

20 weeks!  Wow, it’s really hard to believe how fast the time is disappearing. 

Good news though, this week was VERY productive on the goals front.  I got in lots of quality time with the family, the garden is producing, and other aspects are progressing well. 

It’s time to take a check on the goals and see where we are.  Looking through them, 5 are complete, 11 are on pace, 23 are off-pace, but can be recovered, 4 are off-pace and unlikely, and one will be missed.  The good news is that if we can pull the pace back, we’ll be in good shape.  The bad news is that there are a LOT that are off-pace.  I guess it’s time to get them moving.  However, at this point, 39/44 are still viewed as achievable.  Looking at the “unlikely” ones, the easiest is to watch more movies with the family.  Maybe I’ll continue to push Amy to watch movies on the days I’m not trying to catch up on the other goals at night.  With that, 40 would still be in reach, even if only just.

Time to get after it.  As for status of goals – I’ve updated the side this week.  I’ll copy it into the bottom of the post here for posterity’s sake.
