I was just thinking about what I should write about tonight. And I went all curricular on my self. Rather than ask, "What is the purpose of education?" I ask "What is the purpose of this little writing project?" Well, it could have multiple purposes, I suppose.
1. To hone my writing skills.
2. To help organize my thoughts.
3. To serve some sort of therapeutic purpose.
4. To create something on which I can reflect and think about my future.
5. Make sure I keep using my brain for something other than parenting.
In my first post, I mentioned that I have an array of goals for the year: financial, health and wellness, professional, friendship, marital, and parenting. Maybe it would be reasonable for me to focus on one of these goals a week and then revisit them on a rotating basis. The first week with each topic can be used to define goals and then as I revisit I can reflect on the initial goals and tweak as needed. Fabulous!
So, with Monday as the start to a week, it looks like I've got my own little schedule set-up as follows:
Week 1, Jan. 5-11: Health and wellness
Week 2, Jan. 12-18: Financial
Week 3, Jan. 19 -25: Professional
Week 4, Jan. 26 - Feb. 1: Friendship
Week 5, Feb. 2 - 8: Marital
Week 6, Feb. 9 - 15: Parenting
Each week, I could think about what aspect of each dimension I would like to improve upon and how best to do it. I could do a little reading, reflect on it, and think about how it applies to my life. Ideally. I do have a baby and a husband who travels. Maybe in the wee hours while the babe sleeps this magic can happen.
Side note: I can not seem to find my copy of the Happiness Project and it's driving me batty.
