Goals Completed: 43/108
Goals in Progress: 17
I will be completing my fourth 101/1001 list today, and starting on my 5th 101/1001 list and going to June 6th, 2022. There's no point in delaying. *smile* The 5th list will be posted on my profile. The 5th list is heavier on the 'Body/Martial Arts/Testing Myself' section, about the same in Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health and Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done sections, and slightly more advanced in the In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation section. The Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff section is significantly smaller and divided by a new Base Station/Ol' Number 3 section. I've also added a lot of supplemental goals, rolled over from the 4th list.
I've made no more progress since the last post, except for finishing the French Drain around the Gate House and running the evacuation pipe away from the foundation. I also trimmed back the blackberries on the roadway and moved all the tools and supplies out of the way of the contractors, and started digging out some of the hills near the old house pad to smooth out a dirt ramp and path to help with the deployment of Ol' Number 3. The weather and the timing have not cooperated to facilitate bucking up trees. I'm also starting to haul away an illegal dump that happened right at the entrance to the property. *sigh*
So, how did I do on my 4th list? Okay. I had some good successes, but I let opportunities to complete goals get away from me because of work, partners, Base Station, and other commitments. Time management was a factor in some cases.
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: This was the section I did the least in, completing 1 of 12 goals (running the Spartan Race, twice) and making limited progress on 6 goals. I let myself focus on other sections and neglected my physical potential. I plan to do better this time.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I completed 7 of 12 goals in this section, working hard on mindfulness and meditative practices, and made progress on 4 more. I only completed about half of my usual reading, partially due to studying for my EMT classes and exam, but I also put this off for other distractions. I enjoyed the Zazen and Monastery practice.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I completed 7 of 10 goals, with progress with 2 more less necessary computer OPSEC and vehicle maintenance goals. I maintained my health, my professional continuing education, and my financial security.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I completed 9 of 17 goals, with significant progress towards the one goal not completed (Firefighter 1 certification). EMT and Wildland Firefighter certification, tactical weapons courses, and Ol' Number 3 refitting have definitely improved disaster preparation.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: I completed 19 of 60 goals, with 5 goals in progress (3 of which were almost completed). Snorkeling, concerts, performances, museums, hot springs, lighthouses, multiple geocaching milestones and challenges, and some hiking and camping got me outside and adventuring.
