So here is my list for week 2. I had to tailor some of the items to fit into the fact that I will be in retreat for 3 of these days. So I had to have 3 things I would like to/ need to do that I can do with out talking.

One of my main obstacles is that I am actually running out of things that need to be urgently done. Before I started doing this I actually got several things done I had been slacking on. As you can see by my list there are only 3 A+ items and the rest are either not urgent or not important. I need to get much more diligent about writing things down as they occur to me.

Well that's it for week 2. I'll let you know how it goes after I get out of retreat. You'll find
a full list of my vows for the week including my daily vows below.

May your next 30 days be filled with something new and something passionate too.
