5... 4... 3... SPRINT! SPRINT! SPRINT!

Hello!

So today we plan and launch the sprint from the user stories. After consulting with my scrum team including my external scrum masters and stake holders I'm ready to launch. So here are my first few user stories which I wish to achieve in my first two week sprint:

Business/Career/Studies	Spiritual	Health	Personal growth	Social
As an agile Timelord I want to read one non-fiction book a month so that I become more knowledgeable on useful and interesting topics.	As an agile Timelord I want to feel calm and confident through meditation so that I am less stressed	As an agile Timelord I want to work out at least 5 times a week so that I lose weight and tone my body.	As an agile Timelord I want to be able to feel confident in any situation so that I am comfortable	As an agile Timelord I want a growing blog so that I grow my writing skills
As an agile Timelord I want to read one fiction book a month so that I become more well-read and cultured.		As an agile Timelord I want to walk at least 10,000 steps each day so I set myself an active benchmark to lose weight.	As an agile Timelord I want to be able to relax under the public gaze so that I can grow in my career
As an agile Timelord I want to listen to 4 business podcasts a week so that I learn more about business culture and best practices.		As an agile Timelord I want to chart my progress and set a target of losing 2lb of weight a week so that I can reach my overall goal.

As I have my stories planned I now need to break them down again into manageable tasks to develop actions to carry out on a day to day basis.

I believe I can achieve all of the above in the forthcoming sprint but more than happy to be proven incorrect. Wish me luck!
