WORD FOR 2015: RENEWAL
As the old saying goes, "If you set no goals, you're bound to achieve them." Your goals are noble and lofty, and a little exhausting, too. =D
ReplyDeleteAll the best with them!
I love how you set goals for the month. I am going to try this in January. Please share what Kelly's missions in homemaking is. I have just recently discovered your blog and seem to have missed that.
ReplyDeleteHi ladies!
ReplyDeleteVee, I actually took a lot of things out of the list. (The first four items -- Bible study or meditation, Scripture memory, adding to my Scripture notebook, and studying for Sunday School -- these are non-negotiables and are in my goals every month.) Because of special things like baking, crafting, and get-togethers, I removed some of my more "ordinary" goals. I think, Lord willing, most of it will get done.
Sandy, I wish you all the best with your goal setting. I set yearly goals -- pretty simple ones -- in January each year, and then I try to set monthly goals that move me continually toward meeting those yearly goals. I think if you check out my January archives for the past few years, you will see examples of what my yearly goals look like and how I arrive at them.
Also, Sandy, "Kelly's Missiona" are from FlyLady. If you scroll down in my sidebar, you will find, just under "Members", a list of "Links". FlyLady is the next to last one. Click on that to go to FlyLady's site. You can read what it's all about and will probably want to check out "Getting Started". On the section called "Launch Pad" you will find buttons for "Missions" and "Zones". I don't follow FlyLady's system faithfully, but I do love the zones and missions. Briefly, she divides the home into five zones, and each week of the month you zero in on one of the zones. The missions are just specific tasks to do in each zone, each day of the week. I find it helpful and maybe you will, too. It's not for everybody, but it helps me keep homekeeping tasks on my radar screen.
Mrs T, I also admire you for putting goals down and then being honest if you do not meet them. I would probably fudge on that!lol...You inspire me to do better!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Arlene! I missed this comment and am just now replying ... I have not done at all well in even setting goals in 2016.
