I have three priorities for April. And I broke the goals into mini goals per week. I outlined them here.

Last week, my focus was on two targets.

This week, I had three goals.

• Get weight down to 198.5lbs.
• Write 5 pages of script.
• Make an extra payment on the furnace.

I only managed to meet one of the three goals.

My weight went down. But only to 199.3lbs. So, I’m still behind on this goal.

And I didn’t write 5 pages of script this week.

I made an extra payment on the furnace, though.

And then some.

It felt a bit Woo Woo, to be honest.

I was looking at the amount of the monthly payments that went to the principal amount vs what went to the interest.

Almost two thirds.

Aye Carumba!

And I thought “I wish I could pay it off or at least pay a lower interest.”

A couple of days later, my bank offered me a line of credit for just over the amount owed on the furnace!

Crazy.

So, I made an extra payment alright.

I had planned to make two extra payments towards the furnace in April.

Now, I don’t need to make any.

The furnace is paid off.

Of course, I still owe the same amount, but the Line of Credit interest rate is a quarter of what the furnace rate was!

I can keep up the same payments but make a dent in the amount owed.

Both weeks, I only managed to meet one target.

Not as good as I hoped.

But better than not reaching any of them.

We’ll see what next week brings.
