Goals

I think keeping my goals for last week simple and doable helped me to be able to cross nearly all of them off my list. That, and I wrote down them down in my planner, which kept them at the forefront of my mind.

Here’s how I did with last week’s goals:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Go on a family outing to the Chicago Field Museum. We’ve been waiting to visit until David gets a much needed blood transfusion. He’ll get a transfusion on Monday. Then while we’re at the museum, he’ll wear a mask to protect himself from germs.

2. Read to the little ones 5 times this week

Personal Goals:

3. Juice 1x this week

4. Walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes

5. Create a new Bible reading plan for myself

Home Management Goals:

6. Go through Elisabeth’s clothes and take out the ones that no longer fit

7. Wipe down door handles with disinfectant wipes

Business Goals:

8. Get caught up on work – (almost there!)

9. Return emails

10. Write 4 blog posts

Here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Go shopping for winter clothes/jackets/shoes for some of my children. We have one child who is still wearing sandals and shorts and two kids who don’t have winter jackets, so I really need to make this happen.

2. Read to the little ones 4 times this week

Personal Goals:

3. Juice 2x this week

4. Walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes

5. Follow my Bible reading plan

Home Management Goals:

6. Go through David’s clothes and take out the ones that no longer fit

7. Wipe down sofas with disinfectant wipes

Business Goals:

8. Work on client project

9. Return emails

10. Write 4 blog posts

What are your goals for this week?

Last week, after David hit his head on the stair banister while his platelets were low, we went through our 6th hospital admission in under 3 months.

Crazy.

But we’re home now, and Lord willing, other than an appointment for David to get a blood transfusion on Monday, we should be home most of the week. Therefore, I’m going to set some goals! Will they possibly fall by the wayside if we end up with another surprise hospital stay? Yes. But if not, I can make a little progress in life. 😉

What are your goals for this week?

I didn’t post new goals last week and decided to just take it easy and catch up on projects I already had on my to-do list.

But I’m ready to set goals again this week, and I’ll be keeping them simple because I’m attending my first ever BlogHer conference in Chicago — starting on Thursday. Well, the conference *technically* starts on Thursday, but I’ll be attending events leading up to the conference beginning on Tuesday, so my goals will reflect that.

Here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Plan activities for the kids to do while I’m at the conference

2. Host an ice cream & tea party on over the weekend

Personal Goals:

3. Make healthy food choices while I’m at the conference

4. Read 10 pages of the book Desperate

5. Walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes (I’m sure I’ll be doing plenty of other walking at the conference.)

Home Management Goals:

6. Continue planning a family vacation

7. Make a homemade foot scrub

Business Goals:

8. Get caught up on work

9. Return emails

10. Write 4 blog posts
