			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://offthebeatenplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Writing-Progress.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-297" title="Writing Progress" src="http://offthebeatenplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Writing-Progress-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Oh-lah! Well, I can say this about my progress in writing over the last couple of weeks &#8211; I am not very good at keeping track of my progress!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t even guestimate how much I&#8217;ve written in two weeks &#8211; maybe a couple thousand words, and most of it blogging. So that&#8217;s not great. But I do have a plan on how to keep track in the future.</p>
<p>Once upon a time I found a website that had this great checklist. There were things that needed to be tracked every day, but just a few things like bible reading time, meditation, stuff like that. Then there was a place to actually sketch out one&#8217;s day and appointments. This particular checklist was then placed in a binder and saved for posterity, or something of the sort.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m a fan of checklists and record keeping. And while I&#8217;d love to be able to keep track of things just completely online, I&#8217;ll be honest.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m no good at that.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m thinking a little booklet would do very nicely. An 8-page booklet, one page for each day and one for weekly things such as weight check-ins, and the sole purpose of this little booklet would be to get the information from the time it actually happens until the computer at the end of the week. I could track words written and for what project. I could track meals and all associated snacks. I could track exercise and weight loss. I could even track whether I&#8217;d made my son practice that evening, and whether we&#8217;d made an effort to work on something from his Cub Scout achievements.</p>
<p>So my progress report for next week, it&#8217;s going to be different than this. It&#8217;s going to be actual information, instead of, &#8220;Oops!&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh, I did do one thing this week. Meet the new owner of Ivey Books. *bow*</p>
