I had forgotten about this graphic. Thanks for reviving it. I like your idea of monthly goals, I should try this. I like your honesty if the goal was done or not done. Thanks for all that you share. - Abby
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Abby! I find that setting the monthly goals and keeping myself accountable for them really does help move me toward my yearly goals. Hope you decide to try it, too.
