10 Weekly Goals June 2-9

Last week was a great week for goal-setting! I finished the Clutter-Busting Challenge with almost 700 items out of the house. (Well, almost. I still have to mail-in the Amazon Trade-In items.) The kids went swimming at least 4 times and had a lesson. I'm almost done with Beth Moore's So Long Insecurity.

But some things I didn't do at all:
Read Platform, go out for a walk (too hot!), or have art and violin lessons. We'll try this week. All I can do is keep at it!

Do not throw away your confidence... You need to persevere...  Heb 10:35-36

Ten things I plan to do this week:
1. Continue taking weekly pictures of the children.
2. Take tea and reading time outside.

3. Continue reading Platform. Finish So Long Insecurity.

4. Finish Grandma's Attic as lunch read-aloud.

5. Continue with violin and swimming lessons. Start art lessons.

6. Enjoy following Monday Menu Plan.

7. Plan upcoming staycation!

8. Write at least one blogpost a day.

9. Memorize Ps 29:11 NET with Siestas in Beth Moore's blog.

10. Continue to de-clutter at least 7 items this week.

10 Weely Goals: May 27

Last week my 10 weekly goals did not pan out so well because I missed one important step: Print Out and Display Goals! Since our old printer only works with our old computer, I kept off printing it and forgot about the goals I listed. Not going to happen this time! How do you stay on top of your 10 Weekly Goals?

I did have a great birthday. We finally had a date; we went to see Iron Man 3. We went to the strawberry patch for at least one nature walk. And I did get a lot of de-cluttering and reading done.

For this week, I am continuing much of last week's goals and doing some of what did not get done. Plus the pool is open so swimming is a big priority this week!

Ten things I plan to do this week:
1. Continue taking weekly pictures of the children.

2. Take tea and reading time outside.

3. Continue reading Platform and So Long Insecurity.

4. Grandma's Attic as lunch read-aloud.

5. Continue with violin lessons. Start art and swimming lessons.

6. Enjoy following Monday Menu Plan.

7. Go for at least 2 nature walks with the children.

8. Write at least one blogpost a day.

9. Work on Clutter-Busting Challenge, finish strong for last week!

10. Create Summer Bucket List.

 

10 Weekly Goals: First Post! May 20

 

Since I have had success in the cooking department because of menu planning, I'm thinking that maybe I ought to make plans for other areas of my life. It's only taken a few years of reading Crystal's 10 Weekly Goals for me to get to this point!

 

 

 

1. Continue taking weekly pictures of the children.

2. Take tea and reading time outside.

3. Continue reading Platform and So Long Insecurity.

4. Grandma's Attic as lunch read-aloud.

5. Take Mommy Time Out! A birthday gift to myself.

6. Enjoy following Monday Menu Plan.

7. Go for at least 2 nature walks with the children.

8. Go out for a movie date.

9. Work on Clutter-Busting Challenge, Church yard sale this weekend!

10. Create Summer Bucket List.

 

I know goal planning works. I guess I just couldn't bring myself to accept that it will work for me. So I guess my number one goal for this week, the umbrella goal, you could say, is to make goals. Dream, plan, hope, envision, these are all things that I've pushed aside in the attention-grabbing present tense of mothering. Now that my dearest ones are not so little anymore, I can take greater liberties looking ahead. Yeah for developing new habits!
