Okay, confession time: I felt like I had bombed my objectives once more in February. I had two journeys and was down with Flu A for a complete week so I used to be certain I had actually not hit the mark on a lot of the objectives. However once I went to evaluate them, I used to be shocked that I had accomplished 12 of the objectives and had made progress on virtually the entire different objectives!
It simply goes to point out that setting objectives and making an attempt to make progress on them each day and each week actually does add up — and infrequently in greater ways in which you anticipate!
By the way in which, when you’re new right here, in 2025, I’m altering up the way in which I set objectives. As a substitute of setting yearly objectives, I’m setting month-to-month objectives. Each month, I’ll be sharing a listing of my new objectives for the approaching month and an replace on how I did on the objectives from the month earlier than.
I felt like this method would permit extra flexibility for the surprising and the unknown that this coming yr would possibly maintain. It additionally provides a contemporary begin originally of each month. And it’ll permit me to tailor objectives to the month and what I’d know it would already maintain (which means some months I do know I’ll have extra time and house than different months).
To categorize my objectives, I’m utilizing alliteration and 5 areas I need to prioritize and be intentional with my time and vitality: Myself, Marriage, Motherhood, MoneySavingMom.com, and Cash.
