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 positive I had actually not hit the mark on many of the objectives. However after I went to evaluate them, I used to be shocked that I had accomplished 12 of the objectives and had made progress on nearly the entire different objectives!
It simply goes to indicate that setting objectives and making an attempt to make progress on them day by day and each week actually does add up — and sometimes in larger ways in which you count on!
By the best way, should you’re new right here, in 2025, I’m altering up the best way I set objectives. As a substitute of setting yearly objectives, I’m setting month-to-month objectives. Each month, I’ll be sharing an inventory 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 sudden and the unknown that this coming yr may maintain. It additionally offers a contemporary begin initially 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 wish to prioritize and be intentional with my time and vitality: Myself, Marriage, Motherhood, MoneySavingMom.com, and Cash.
