The second quarter is a transition period for me. After I crossed the bridge to my present company, adjustments make me uber-busy (but in the same time fun and enjoyable)! So the present quarter is pretty “continuing what I’ve started”-type in achieving my goals.

Here’s the review of my first quarter goals.

Work

• Do actual work 8 hours per weekday leaving the office when clock strikes 5 pm. In case of undertime or overtime, I will work at home. This held true during the last weeks of my HP stay. No overtime. Presently, I’m still enjoying the number of work hours here.
• Take lunch, brunch, merienda, dinner in a total of at most one hour per day Failed. Wahaha. Since it was my last hours at HP, more moments to talk. 2Q Goal: Eat on time.
• Fill up OMEGA weekly on Fridays. List down everyday the actual work and timings rendered. Achieved! 2Q Goal: Accomplish Daily Time Record forms
• Transition E8, E9 system ownership and security repetitive tasks. Achieved!
• Synchronize calendar to mobile phone everyday. Achieved! I don’t have a “phone” as of the moment.

Money

• Save 10 percent of the net pay I earned per month. Achieved! But when April came, I stood broke!
• To spend for an electronic gadget, allocate an amount per month equivalent to the gadget divided by four. I should only buy my next electronic gadget after four months. I should never use my credit card. Mathematics of this does not applied. But it was only after four months when I bought my PSP.
• Spend money for a Starbucks coffee and other drinks alike only once a month. Failed. 2Q Goal: Pretty easy task since there’s no Starby around Marina.
• Do not take lunch (or dinner) outside office when I have packed lunch (or dinner). Desserts however are allowed. Achieved. 2Q Goal: Pretty easy too.
• Allocate immediately for house utility bills. Achieved.
• Reimburse not later than a day as I received Globe bills. Pay these bills during payday using credit card which is one week after the stated due date. I failed to zero out my credit last April.
• Put loose coins in the coin bank setting aside P15.00 for the next day’s tricycle fare. Failed. Not applicable on 2Q.
• Use MRT. Achieved. This 2Q, add LRT-1 and LRT-3
