I've found that when I try to do everything at once, nothing gets done because it's too overwhelming. This year I set fewer goals and broke them down into smaller, achievable parts to divide among the twelve months. Some, like decluttering, will be ongoing; others, like book revisions, will have a definite end date (though it may not seem like it at the moment). At the end of each month, I plan to evaluate, make adjustments, then set goals for the following month. Each time I complete a goal, I'll write down the date of completion so I have a written record of progress. Let's try to keep each other motivated.Donna B.

I finally went through 2 boxes of "stuff" that we had in our bedroom just collecting. Got that down to just a few things we're keeping and the rest I'm bringing into work to put on the "free table." I've been trying to be better about watching my portions and eating healthier foods. I did well until tonight when I ate 4 popovers! Although only 70 calories each, it was still too much! I am finally working towards the networking certifications that I wanted to get and will be taking a class through work to help towards that goal. I'm both nervous and excited about that. We booked our trips that we wanted to take this year. <br /><br />So far so good. I always start out strong but then taper off as the year progresses. Hopefully not this year. I still have a few more goals I need to work towards and start, but again with the patience, I'm trying to pace myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862729986305498296noreply@blogger.com
