We took a 2.5 week vacation from homeschooling, and apparently, my goal setting went on vacation, too. Now, we’re back on a regular routine, so I’m back to setting goals. However, this week I’m trying to set specific, attainable goals. I want to check off everything next week. Here’s the plan:
This Week’s Goals
Here’s what I plan to accomplish this week:
Financial
- Spend three hours cleaning the basement and listing items around the house to sell.
Personal
- Take the kids to the library at least once 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
- Have Bookworm practice his multiplication math facts on K5 Learning at least 15 minutes every day
- Read 200 pages this week
- Watch a movie with my husband.
- Declutter the livingroom heater & the kitchen heater & freezer
Work
- Put up 2 reviews and giveaways this week
- Write 5 staff writing and freelance articles this week
- Delete 200 e-mails from my e-mail account
- Add a Pinterest-friendly picture to one of my most popular posts on the blog.
- Do one month of my business accounting.
Long-Term Work Goals
These are items that I don’t expect to finish completely this week, but I’m listing them here as a reminder to myself and would like to finish them within 3 to 4 months:
- Organize the recipes on my blog
- Finish my blog redesign
- Finish my writer’s website
- Get a newsletter up and running
- Do my accounting books for July, August, and September
- Research new areas where I could freelance. (My income is composed of 3 revenue streams, and over the last 5 months, 2 of those revenue streams have proven to be highly unstable.)
- Update my blog categories
What goals do you hope to accomplish this week? I shared this post on Money Saving Mom.
So… I’m not trying to be a pain, but I was listening to Dave Ramsey today and a woman called in because her spouse had passed away suddenly. She called to thank him because they had things in order, financially after following Dave’s program. Something is better than nothing – how about legal zoom for that will you’ve been meaning to do? 😉
You’re not being a pain. In fact, your comment prompted me to ask a group I belong to for suggestions for a good attorney to draw up our will. I do plan on having this goal completed by the end of the year. Thanks for the nudge.
That’s what we’re here for – always supporting, sometimes nudging. 🙂
🙂 Thanks!
I love that you are listing things to sell. This is something that is on my list of things to do as well. I gotta get rid of some things and I am trying hard to get our mortgage paid down.
You will have to stop over and check out my goals.
