KPIs in life Vol.1

Just received a letter from the Chartered Institute of Marketing congratulating me for completing the first year of my Chartered Marketer Programme. It's titled; Evidence Of Improvement. Suddenly I am feeling positive about myself. Since this is such a rare occasion, I would like to document it for future reference!

Here you go, I am thinking about my KPIs in life. 

1- Are my kids healthy, happy, loved and cared for? 
2- Is my husband healthy, happy, loved and cared for? 
3- Is my house in a reasonable state? Hygenic, tidy, functionable etc? ✔ Well half a tick perhaps as it is crying for some improvement.
4- Am I trying to provide and promote a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family? 
5- Am I keeping up to date with what's been going on around the world and trying to make a difference e.g. volunteering, donating, taking part in campaigns? 
6- Am I taking care of my body? Physically maintaining and improving my health? 
7- Am I stimulating my brain? Reading, writing, thinking? 
8- Am I constantly developing new professional skills and knowledge? 
9- Have I got a job, where I would be able to utilize these professional skills and knowledge, share, learn, get the satisfaction from being useful, achieving goals etc? NO
10- Have I got friends who care about me and what I think, listen to me, ask my opinion, ask for help or help me out, to have fun with ? 

To be continued...

quick update

So, I finally quit my hideous job a couple of weeks ago. Well technically, I didn't want to quit, just told them I wasn't happy, suggested a few things to improve my happiness and they said no unsurprisingly. Because clearly they don't give a sh.t.
Not sure what to do next and the fact that school holiday is almost here makes me think: hmm 7 weeks of school holiday. Do I really want to search for another job in this period of time? What if I got a job then how are we possibly going to sort out childcare for 7 weeks when every single childminder and holiday club has already been booked. So now have done the school run, Amelie is at nursery today and I have all day to myself. Hoorrayyy!:)
