Once again, I met most of the goals I had set last week, but I didn’t meet my goal of writing at least three blog posts.
After thinking about it, the thought crossed my mind to actually put together a plan for how I can make this goal a reality each week. So this week, instead of simply setting a goal to write a certain number of posts, I’ve decided to create a goal to write for 15 minutes each day.
More specifically, my goal will be to write blog posts for 15 minutes a day.
Next Monday, I’ll report back with how things went. ๐
Here’s what I accomplished last week:

6.ย Read 10 pages of The Early to Rise Experience for Moms (affiliate link) by Andy Traub — This year, reading short ebooksย on areas in life and work where I need improvement has been such a blessing!

What are your goals for this week?
How are you liking the Early to Rise Experience for Moms? I really liked the original book, Early to Rise it really helped get me motivated to get up earlier.
I’m going to have to purchase the food photography book you talked about. I keep learning little things and my photography is slowly improving. I’m almost ready to take in some more new information.
I’m homeschool planning this week too, as soon as our new books arrive. I hope you have a great week!
Hi Shelly! I’ve only read a tiny bit in the Early to Rise Experience for Moms, but I think after reading more I’ll get a better feel for the book. My guess is that I’ll walk away inspired and with practical ways to start getting up before my kids.
And, yes, the food photography book was definitely worth reading! The author shared great tips and tutorials to help me improve.
I hope you enjoying planning a fresh new year of school. ๐
