February 2015 Goals {And What I Learned In January}

What I learned in January.

I am really enjoying the process of goal setting for 2015. I’m using Lara Casey’s powersheets and really taking my time to muscle into the hard work. I still do not have my goals set for 2015 and I am 100% okay with that. The framework is coming together and honestly, there isn’t anything magical about January 1st anyway. I’ve given myself a deadline of March 1 to have my goals for 2015 set and my powersheet prep work complete. My favorite step so far has been working on the life vision plan.

I have been relearning the power of focus a bit. As a WAHM, mother, and wife, I have a ton of things I have to make happen on a daily basis. Often times, I bounce from project to project and end the day with 10 projects that are all 90% complete. However, I reminded myself over and over again this month to just focus on one task at a time. Working on one project at a time has really helped me stay focused. Also? The little minutes matter. Instead of hopping on Facebook when I’ve got a spare five minutes, I’ve been trying to chip away at a project. And sometimes? Those five minutes made the difference in moving that project from my to do list to my to done list.

Finally, I have been falling in love with reading again. I have been creating more time to read and it has been amazing!
