<p>So if you&#8217;ve recently found this project or been following along from the beginning you will have noticed the theme of one excuse per week. Yes, that probably could continue to run endlessly but my goal was to make this only a year long project!  So we started with my 26 most common and limiting excuses which wrapped up last week.  Now comes the really hard part of 26 weeks of  looking at goals and where those excuses come into play and whether there are still any lingering remnants (I&#8217;m pretty sure there are&#8230;)  Since I only have myself to analyze we&#8217;ll be using my goals and knowledge of when I call in the excuses but hopefully you will also find something to relate to.</p>
<p>In general here&#8217;s how my life breaks out into areas where I would like to make improvements or more progress.  That should work out to about two weeks per topic and we&#8217;ll just see how it goes. I hope you&#8217;ll be a part of it!</p>
