Things I will complete before 3/31/06
By 3/31/06 I will complete the following:
Finances
Get a copy of my credit report(completed 3/24/06) I downloaded the report from two of the agencies, and requested the 3rd via the phone. For the record, TransUnion’s ID verification process is absolute and total crap. I had to request that report via the phone because I had too many wrong attempts at their website.Accurately track “money in & money out” for this month(updated: see below)Set up a “discretionary spending” account(completed 3/17/06) See my post about this idea here. I’ll begin using this system when the account is fully operational.
Personal
Purchase and mail an anniversary card for W.&B.(completed) It went out two days before their anniversary. They may have gotten it late, but they should have gotten it.Review my “Someday/Maybe” file. Weed out anything that’s no longer relevant. Bring into current month’s goals any projects that might be good for this month.(complete) I’ll make a habit of doing this at the beginning of each month.Respond to emails in a timely fashion (3 to 4 days maximum). Keep inbox “free and clear”.(complete) I did pretty well with this, and it felt terrific. I’ll continue this habit into next month.Make G.’s tape and get it to them in CA(completed 3/19/06) It’s amazing what a clear deadline (like having to make a flight) will do. It took about 5 hours or so, but I finished 6 of the best tracks, burned the CD, and took it to them when I visited on 3/20.
