A Quick & Easy Way to Do Monthly Goal Setting

When I have a big goal that I am working on, I love the start of a new month. It is the perfect time to monitor my progress towards my goals and do my monthly goal setting for the month ahead. It is especially exciting when I have real measurable progress to celebrate and can also identify ways to grow as I keep going. Last year I wrote all about the usefulness of having a Monthly Planning Session, especially when life is extra busy or you have a major project going on. I do stand by that article. However, there […]

New Year’s Goal Progress Check

My personal Goal Progress Report and a New Goal Tracker I made to share with you all Did you have any goals back on New Year’s day? How are you coming on those? I have worked hard on mine, fell off the horse a couple of times, got back on and worked hard again. And yet. Progress towards my goals never seems to come as quickly as I want it to. In fact, by mid-February I was online google searching things like, “How do you stick to your goals?” and “Why can’t I stick to my goals?” Anyone else like […]

7 Favorite Things to Do When Life is OverWhelming

Moving this year has me feeling like a hundred layers of overwhelmed. And what do you do when you feel too overwhelmed to do anything at all?? Today I decided that sometimes the answer is to watch a Hallmark movie. Every day has plenty of work to do. Can you ever actually run out of work to do? I don’t think I have run out of work to do in seventeen years. It has to be seventeen years, because that is about how long ago I had my first baby. Is this just me justifying enjoying free time? Oh well, […]

How to Have a Successful Personal Monthly Planning Session

This is another one of my FAVORITE new ways I have found this year to truly feel like I am getting my act together: the monthly planning session. I originally called it my monthly meeting with myself. But to sound more sane, we will just say “monthly planning session.” The idea of setting aside time to do a monthly planning session is another tip I learned from vishakablone.com. What do I mean by personal monthly planning session? I’m glad you asked. This is a time during the first week of the month where we plan out the whole month that […]

Township Game Review: Addictive, Easy, and Family Friendly

Honest Township Game Review Upfront: This game is probably my favorite app on my phone. Township is fun, easy, and family friendly. You can play it while watching t.v., talking on the phone, and hanging out with family. Your whole family can download it and create a co-op together. I love this app. But Township can be addictive. For me. My children all played for a year and quit without a second thought, but I find it very addictive. In truth, I have several apps that were too addictive for me, so maybe this is a personal problem. But this […]

How to Find Extra Minutes to Work on Your Project

I have a problem. You see, I am woefully behind on prepping my house for this move, and I find myself in need of extra minutes. We all get the same twenty-four hours for every single day. No matter who you are. The day is the same. There are twenty-four hours, and no one gets extra minutes. But I am going to need some extra. I want to list our house to sell in May, and that requires me to comb through each room of the house. Our house is over-packed with stuff. Everywhere you look there is clutter. Most […]

A Simple Goal Derailed

Today a very simple goal completely derailed. I was going to get a jump start on cleaning my whole house. That is no small goal. It is a four bedroom house. People hire maids to do this all the time. These professionals come in, you give them $200 or so, and they clean your entire house in hours. How do they do that??? I am completely incapable of it, and I know this. Instead I set myself 30 minute timers and work for half an hour, rest for twenty, then go back to work. Yeah, maybe it sounds lazy. I […]
