The 30 Day Personal Revolution. It is an opportunity to challenge yourself to meet certain goals within a month — business, personal, spiritual, philanthropic… The choice is yours. And after a month, you refresh with a restructured plan and a NEW bucket list.
Here’s what I am going to hold myself accountable for during the month of November:
Participate in NaBloWriMo — publishing a post every single day on my blog (both personal and professional)
Since my first recruitment event is with SCDD next week, it’s time to get training! Which means, skate twice a week and workout another two times per week (either cardio or weight training).
Find a skating partner. SCDD started an online discussion group for us Fresh Meat Hopefuls, so I’m hoping that after meeting some of the girls on Monday, I can find a new friend that wants to hold me accountable (and vice versa).
Turn off the TV one night a week — not even on for background noise — and spend that evening completely with the boyfriend. I’m also holding him accountable.
This will sound gross, but it’s easy for a day to get away from you when you work from home. That said, I intend to shower every day, if only to go about being motivated for my day. Including my favorite day of the week: “Stinky Sundays.” (What do you know — I’m not alone!)
Also, leave the apartment every day for at least 30 minutes. I don’t care if it’s sitting (or working out) alone in one of the community rooms in our building or walking downtown for half an hour or spending two 15-minute sessions in the laundry room. Get out of the apartment!
Meet one of my virtual friends in real life. I have a lot of twitter peeps who seemingly have interesting lives, while I toil away in my apartment working endlessly alone, not meeting anyone new. It is helpful that I joined a downtown lunch club that meets once a month.
Go to five new locations in Pittsburgh: parks, restaurants, breweries, neighborhoods, marshmallow factories… FIVE.
Recently, I received two magazine assignments for two separate publications (uh, awesome!!!). I want two more. Make it happen.
Go on a ridiculous or adventurous touristy… err, tour in Pittsburgh. Open-ended.
Paint my nails once a week. I feel like this is a yearly resolution, but this year I gave it up (once again) because of roller derby. Eh, I miss them painted. I don’t care if they’re chipped. I only need a half hour a week for this!
And last but not least, my sister (finally) finished her book, to which she recently emailed me the completed copy. I’d like to get through this first draft at least once — if not twice — this month. Complete with notes and edits.
What are you challenging yourself to during the month of November?

This blog is about pursuit: a transplanted Clevelander (me) in a new city (that's you, Pittsburgh!), pursuing the role of a self-employed copywriter, becoming a roller derby badass and somehow merging all my to-do items into one ever-growing Bucket List.
And of MY boyfriend. His blue balls started this mess.
