I like the blog “Money Saving Mom”. One of the things that she does is create a list of weekly goals, then look back at the previous week’s goals and see how she’s done. I’m going to start something similar. It’s nice to be able to look back and cross things off of your list, especially when you feel like you’re not always accomplishing much. So often, I reach the end of the day or the end of the week and think, “I barely did anything – where has the time gone?” When in reality I did quite a lot… I just don’t remember it or think much of it.
So, here are my goals for this week (December 9th – 14th ). Next week, I’ll map out some new goals and evaluate how I did on this week’s items.
Around the House…
Paint the shelf in Jack’s closet
Prime and paint the trim around the hall bathroom window and door
Finish painting Jack’s crib
Make 2 meals for the freezer
Send out Christmas cards
Update files in filing cabinet
Family…
Read 3 books to Joe and Jack every day (one at bedtime)
Make this Christmas handprint wreath with Joe
Personal Goals…
Finish my lesson in “Craving Grace Like Chocolate” at least 1 day early.
Run 6 miles
Take my multivitamin every day
Drink 64 ounces of water every day
Thanks for the idea of the christmas wreath i did it with the two little kids i babysit for 🙂
Love this! I always have a list going, and I think they offer a lot of peace of mind. Knowing you’ve written it down helps de-clutter the brain!
