Last week I realized that I can only get to my goal of filming, editing, and uploading five videos per week to YouTube if I haven’t committed time to other projects, like learning more about Young Living essential oils and co hosting a class or working on a blog post for a brand.
So the next time I see extra, out-of-the-ordinary projects on my calendar, I’ll adjust my video goals accordingly. ๐
Here’s what I accomplished last week:
Family/Mothering Goals:
1.
Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family2.ย Read to my children 5x — I didn’t keep track of how many times we read together, but I think we made it to four times. Going forward, I’m going to do a better job of tracking the number of times we read. ๐
Personal Goals:
3.
Do resistance band exercises 4x4.
Walk a total of 100 minutes on the treadmill — I’m cutting this goal way down, because now that the weather is nice, I’m spending a lot more time watching the kids play outside and don’t have as much time to walk on the treadmill.5.
Read 10 pages of The Lord of the Rings (Part One) The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien6.
Journal 2xHome Management Goals:
7.ย
Fill one bag with items to donate8.
Backup my computer and clean up my desktop/delete files, etc…Business Goals:
9.
Shoot, edit, & upload three videos toย our family YouTube channel10.ย Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogsย — Last week, I spent far more time than I thought I would learning about Young Living essential oils and how to work from home as a Young Living distributor. That took time away from other things like vlogging.
Here are my goals for this week:
Family/Mothering Goals:
1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family
2.ย Read to my children 5x
Personal Goals:
3. Do resistance band exercises 4x
4. Walk a total of 130 minutes on the treadmill — I’m increasing this goal, because I’ve already logged 50 minutes this week and know I can do a lot more. Plus, it’s been rainy and the kids are spending more time inside, which means I have more time to hop on the treadmill.
5. Read 10 pages of The Lord of the Rings (Part One) The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
6. Journal 2x
Home Management Goals:
7.ย Fill one bag with items to donate
8. Deep clean bathrooms
Business Goals:
9. Shoot, edit, & upload three videos toย our family YouTube channel
10.ย Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogs
What are your goals for this week?
Lydia @ Not Afraid of the Snow says
Deep cleaning bathrooms! I was just thinking the other day I need to go through and spring clean.. Not something I really enjoy, but probably needed!
Can’t wait to hear what all you learn about young living. I am going to put lavendar on my pillow tonight to see if it helps me sleep. Still a little unsure.
Sandra says
Hi Lydia. ๐ Deep cleaning the bathrooms isn’t something I enjoy doing, either. LOL But it’s one of those chores that needs to be done around every 6 weeks for our family.
Did the lavender oil help you rest better at night?
Lydia @ Not Afraid of the Snow says
Well I did sleep better. I have a cold so I couldnt smell the lavendar. Would it have helped any ways?
Sandra says
I hope you feel better soon, Lydia. I’ve yet to try lavender on my pillow at night, but will soon. ๐
Erin @ My Mommy World says
Great job on your goals! I hope you have a good week this week ๐
Are you planning to do any videos on essential oils? I’d love to learn more!
Sandra says
Hi Erin! I am planning on filming more videos that involve essentials oils. I want to talk about them a bit more in vlogs and then also create some more DIY beauty recipe videos that incorporate them.
I hope you and your family have a great weekend! ๐
Shelly says
I can so agree with you on trying to fit other things into the normal schedule. I’ve been trying to set up a schedule for my social media and it’s taking much longer than I thought it would to get it all worked out. You really did a great job on your goals this week even with the extra things going on. Hope this week goes well for you.
Sandra says
Hi Shelly! Yes, “little extra” things added to our schedules can end up taking a lot longer than anticipated and squeeze out room for other things we’d planned.
I hope you and your family have a great weekend! ๐
