Right now it's really only one:

-Do something around the house for an hour.

By this I mean work on the yard, hang a curtain rod or two, do the dishes, sweep, vacuum, change the cat litter, etc. Just a vague "take care of your home for an hour each day" goal. Somedays I have to find something to do, other days I just come home and there's a project waiting for me. Like today I came home to water all over my basement from a leaky pipe for my exterior water line. Today, my goal got chosen for me!

After I cleaned up and got the water to this lined turned off, there was still some drips so I whipped out the camera to get some shots for funsies.

Nice pictures, but that's pretty scary! Water damage is always pretty serious business.

That's a good goal and I should probably add it to my list. I'm a 'house-wife' for all intents and purposes, but a pretty lazy one. If there's no house work I have to do in a given day, I won't and then it backs up and there's more to do the next day.

Being lazy is fun, but when it backs up it adds more stress to my life, hence my goal. I find if I stay on top of things I feel a lot better about my life in general. I spend an hour minimum as a goal, but honestly end up normally doing a lot more many days. Then by the time the weekend comes I only have a couple little things I need to do!

Once you get moving and doing something it normally adds to the motivation. Jamming out to some good tunes helps a lot too... and a good beer or glass of wine makes every mundane task a little bit brighter. :)
