Goals

I didn’t get everything done that I’d hoped to, but I did an okay job on my goals last week. 🙂

Here’s what I accomplished:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. 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. Fill one bag with items to donate

8. Deep clean bathrooms — I gave one of the bathrooms a good surface cleaning, but deep cleaning didn’t happen last week.

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload three videos to our family YouTube channel — We uploaded two videos and intended to get the third video filmed over the weekend, but that didn’t happen. We’d planned on working on another Play-Doh surprise egg video, but it was cloudy and dark outside on Saturday. And we try to avoid filming longer videos when we have overcast skies.

10. Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogs

Here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Read to my children 5x

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 150 minutes on the treadmill — I’m increasing this goal because I’ve already logged 130 minutes, and it’s early in the week! However, I’m not going crazy with my goal increase, because this week we’re going to Medieval Times, a Make-A-Wish event, and an appointment with David’s transplant doctor in Chicago, and I know I won’t be able to fit in a whole lot of exercise. Food? Yes. Exercise? Not so much. 😉

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. Fill one bag with items to donate

8. Deep clean bathrooms

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload two videos to our family YouTube channel — Because we’re going to be busier than usual, I’m only going to shoot for uploading two videos this week.

10. Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogs

What are your goals for this week?

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. 🙂

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. 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. 😉

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. 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. Tolkien

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Fill one bag with items to donate

8. Backup my computer and clean up my desktop/delete files, etc…

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload three videos to our family YouTube channel

10. Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogs — 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. Read to my children 5x

What are your goals for this week?

I hope your week is off to a good start.

We’re having a pretty relaxed day today. My older kids are finished with their homeschool lessons, and two youngest boys are outside playing with the water hose and watering cans. It’s an everyday occurrence right now. 😉

Oh, well! You’re only a kid once, right?

I’ll be heading to a long overdue eye appointment this afternoon with my oldest son, and hopefully, new contacts will be in my future soon! These “monthly” contacts that I’m currently wearing needed to be replaced like three months ago…

Anyway, as for my goals, here’s what I accomplished last week:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 200 minutes on the treadmill — I ended up walking for over 100 minutes but didn’t make it to 200.
