Weekly Goals for March 5, 2014 and an Update on Last Week’s Goals

Since it’s Lent, I decided to add a few personal goals.  Other than that, I plan to have a pretty low-key week goal-wise because we have a busy, hectic week ahead of us.  (Am I sounding like a broken record yet?)

Last Week’s Goals

Financial

• Decide with my husband what conferences we’ll attend in 2014.

Personal

• Study Japanese with the kids at least four times this week.
  
• Make flashcards for Japanese and study 10 minutes a day additional.  Not yet.
• Read at least 3 books to the girls a day.
• Do at least 15 minutes of ABCMouse.com with each girl 2 to 3 days this week.  
• Read for 30 minutes every day.
• Clean around the top and sides of the microwave.  I didn’t get to this, but I instead cleaned the top of my dresser.  (I wish I had a picture, but honestly it was just too embarrassing!  Picture a 18 inch stack of clothes, kids’ stuff, and just general clutter.  That was my dresser, but now it has a nice, clean surface.)

Work

• Put up 2 reviews and/or giveaways this week.
• Write 6 staff writing and freelance articles this week.  
• Have at least 3 of my own blog posts written and scheduled for next week.

This Week’s Goals

Financial

• No financial goals this week.  🙂

Personal

During the 40 days of Lent, I plan to do a few more tasks.  You’ve probably noticed that I’m not very good at even meeting my minimal goals of exercising two days a week.  I know I need to take care of my body, so during Lent, I plan to exercise at least 20 minutes every day.  I also plan to say a decade of the rosary every day with the kids.  I haven’t tried this before, so I’m not sure how it will go, but I think it would be good for us to pray together as a family besides just saying the kids’ night prayers.

• Exercise for at least 20 minutes each day this week.
• Pray a decade of the rosary every day with the kids.
• Study Japanese with the kids at least four times this week.
• Read at least 3 books to the girls a day.
• Do at least 15 minutes of ABCMouse.com with each girl 2 to 3 days this week.  
• Read for 30 minutes every day.

Work

• Put up 2 reviews and/or giveaways this week.
• Write 6 staff writing and freelance articles this week.  
• Have at least 3 of my own blog posts written and scheduled for next week.

Do you make weekly goals?  If so, what are yours?
