January New Year New Goals

Welcome 2019!


Seriously Though, 
I'm super excited for this year 
to get going already!

Over Christmas break I had some 
serious goal mojo going on! 
Like SUPER goal mojo!

My husband can attest that this little notebook became 
my best friend for like an entire week. 
(I'm not even exaggerating!)


So time for some real talk.  

Every year I make goals and they are all good goals, 
like exercising, getting out of debt, getting up early, 
magically becoming a patient person?  
Any of this sound familiar?  

I was thinking about how many time's I've made 
the same vague goals year after year.  

A LOT! 

Seriously I think I have a goal to 
magically become patient
 like every year for the last ten. 
(Since that's how old ms. a turns this year!)

This year was going to be different.
This year I took my goals and I made a plan.

Ha ha! 
Now I've got you interested right!! 
Here's the thing I broke it down,
 every goal I made
I broke down in to smaller pieces.  

This is what took me all week.
Making a plan!

So here's Page Number 1!
My Goal Page.


Seriously this seems like a lot!
Here's what my Monthy breakdown looks like.


Still looks like a lot.

After this I put them all in my Planner.
It still looks like a lot!
But once I did a few of the things on the list,
others were so related that it came naturally.

For instance getting up at 6am.
So hard when it's dark and cold!
(and the baby was screaming
a ton in the night.)

But when I do, I can have my own
prayer and scripture study,
make my kids breakfast,
and even unload the dishwasher
some mornings.

One goal at a time we're making some progress!

By the way did you spy my theme for the year?
Less But Better.

That's Right, I'm going to do LESS and say no more
to the things that I don't really like doing
and don't actually have to do.
Which makes it easier to be BETTER
at being a Mom and a Wife.

(Too bad this doesn't quite include saying no to the dishes!)

As part of my goals I'm going to be doing better at this blog!
(yes I have others, shhh.)

My goal this year is to never get more than a month behind!!
Think I can do it???
