There is a saying that a goal without a plan is just a dream. I am not personally a fan of bumper-sticker type advice but, there is something about that one that just makes so much sense that I have to forgive it for seeming a little trite. This year, I have decided to take it to heart.
I have already written about my joint goals with Husband for our home and family and finances. But, I have a separate list for personal goals. I hope that by listing them here, it might inspire you to make your own list! I would love to see what you come up with and we can share them during my goals monthly checkup which I will do on this blog as well.
Again, as with my family list, I chose priorities and then focus areas under each one.

Hey, beautiful picture of you and the Husband!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been organized about planning to achieve goals so far. Well, except for homeschool and parenting goals. I'm very systematic about those.
