I can’t believe it’s February already! Where does the time go?
Last month flew by me — I was super busy with editing Where God Took My Soul, completing the #justdoitjanuary challenge hosted by Tara Burner and working with my clients. Of the three, Touching Heart is the one that keeps me the busiest. I have a hard time of establishing a ‘quitting time’. Since it my “baby” – its hard for me to put her down to start another project. This month, I must. I can’t neglect my other responsibilities.
So, with inspiration from my good friend, Monise, I am going to try making monthly and probably weekly goals, to break things down into more manageable chunks, and to set my goals based on how busy I am and what I have going on in a certain week/month. Monise is always stating that “I have too much going on and that I need to slow down!” *sigh* I agree.
I am a planner and I write my goals all the time and have a vision board. I just want a little more accountability by posting them publicly. I sat down yesterday and wrote out my goals for the month, and split them into four different categories. Hopefully this helps me to stay a little more on track, and be as productive as I can be this month!
Work:
- Build my clientele for my web/graphic design business
- Upload website and update portfolio.
- Increase monthly income by 200%
Touching Heart:
- Find property for resource center and vacant building for The Brooks J. Young Home
- Have a draft of domestic violence law (more to come soon)!
- Blog 3x per week
Writing:
- Write 1000 words daily
- Hire a Typesetter
- Hire an Interior Designer
- Promote and Advertise Where God Took My Soul
- Plan blog tour
- Blog 3x per week
Personal (ME!):
- Meal Plan-I love doing this but I forget…at times!
- Workout/Yoga 3x/week.
- One girls night out with friends
- Do Bible Study/Pray every morning. I’ve been waking up early at 5:30 every morning, which has been great, but I’ve often been neglecting my Bible study to do work instead, I need to get back to making my Bible study a priority.
- Complete the FitFeb Challenge hosted by @TaraBurner
- lose 20 pounds – I am 60 from my goal.
- Get a trim – my natural hair is BSL (bra strap length) so I want to cut out the layers
- Exercise 5-6 days per week.
BTW, I’ve given up the Vegan lifestyle. I love seafood TOO MUCH. I just can’t do it now. I love cooking vegan meals so they will be incorporated in my meals.
Alright, I think that’s good. There is a lot more I would LIKE to do, but I know I need to keep things realistic. I’ll plan to check in with how I’m doing with my goals throughout the month on Twitter, if you want to follow along with me!
Do you make monthly or weekly goals? What are some goals you have this month?
