Time keeps on slippin' (slippin' slippin') into the future.

Hmm, that would make for a great chorus to a song. I should write that down. In the meantime, how about a review of my goals in June.

What a month. What a helluva month. I wish I could say, "Thank God it's over," but I have zero assurance that June will be any better. So... goals, then?

So much done, so much still to do. Let’s recap my goal achievements in April, shall we?

Are you enjoying shelter at home? Going a little nuts? Well, I've got some reading you can do right here to take your mind off the tedium. Or maybe it will just worsen things for you. Oh well. It's written. It's below.

Another month has come and gone. Let’s see how my goal achievement has proceeded. 

Remember how I said I hit a wall with reading last year and it persisted through last month with me only getting one book read to start the year? Well, here’s the visual proof of that wall (at least in terms of audiobooks)...

How in the name of all that's holy is January 2020 already done? And we don't have flying cars yet? Or HAL? Or the robot apocalypse? WTF??

Finally. My last goal update for 2019! 

I started 2019 off pretty strong on the goal front. But the further I progressed through the year, the tougher it got and the less interested I became in fulfilling some of them.

November... what a crap month for goals.

Whoops. Completely forgot yesterday was the first of November. So, yeah, this is a day late. Won’t happen again. Oh, who am I kidding? Yes, it will.

Just as I feared might happen, my phone repairs are not done and I have no access to Instagram, which is the key to me being able to post Macro Monday. So, instead, you will be getting my September Goals a day early. Actually, it's only a few hours early, technically. 

Write this or watch The Hustle? How about both!

I’m sorry this is so late. I always like getting this out in the 1st of the month, but Macro Monday on the 1st, Walkman 40th on the 2nd, John on the 3rd, the holiday on the 4th... anyway. I even had this post mostly written a week ago. So, um, I copy/pasted old code to start this post and forgot to change the intro paragraph. Whoops.

I really didn’t want to do this recap already. Feels like it may be frighteningly lackluster. Hold tight!

Funny how I mentioned in the beginning of last month's goals post about the lack of snow in Chicagoland in March and it being one of the least snowy Marches on record only to be followed by two freak snowstorms in April. I gotta shut up. On with the goals recap!

Happy spring, y’all. I heard that Chicago had its seventh least snowy March in recorded history! Typically we get 5.6” and we only had 0.3”. Celebrate good times, c’mon! Let’s see how my goals matched up to previous expectations.

Another month bites the dust. Let’s see how my goals are doing.

How are we far enough into 2019 already that I’m doing a monthly goal recap?? I dunno, either. 

Happy New Year, y’all! Let’s give 2018 a firm boot in the ass, shall we?

As in Reading While Drinking, to be alternately known as Reading Under the Influence or Reading Drunk. Whatever your acronymical preference, this is a reading challenge that MartyMankins, KevinSpencer, and I came up with tonight on Twitter and you’re invited to join in the fun!

I’m going to be honest with you, I really like the overall structure of the goals I set for 2018. So, for the most part, I’m going to stick with how it was set up but with some tweaking of the numbers. 

This year is almost done! Holy heck. How did that happen so quickly. Time to start thinking of 2019 goals. Yikes!

I think October fared pretty well for me. Take a poke around below and let me know what you think!

September is always a busy month for us. Between Nathan starting school and a new yearlong routine to his birthday to my company’s annual on-site celebration to whatever else, I was ready to let some goals go. Let’s see how I did.

Lots going on. Lots going on. Lots going on! Take a look...

It was a good month for goal progress! Check it out.

I’m pretty happy with the month I had. Let’s see if you agree.

Not only is today a goal check-in, but it's also Nathan's final day of preschool... ever. Seriously! Where did the year go? Where did the last five years go?? We now have a kindergartener. To quote Dr. Sam Beckett, "ho boy."

April is over already?? What the ever-loving heck??

Happy Easter! And Happy April Fools’ Day! And... I’m sure there’s something else going on, too. I’m just too lazy to figure it out. Instead, let’s celebrate another month of personal goal achievement, shall we? 

Time to recap my February goal work. You ready? Let’s do this!

I think I kinda like the idea of doing these goal recaps again. Let’s see how I did, shall we?

Can you believe that 2017 is practically over? By the time you read this, it may already be 2018. Who can say for sure? The madness!!
