By this point, you have seen my Theme word for the year, which is "Celebrate". With that in mind, I have created my goal sheet for 2012. This is where I break down all of those ideas from my Theme Word and write out a few goals for the month as well as any additional misc goals I have that don't fit into the theme. I generally try to do this the last week of the month for the upcoming month so that I can see what I have completed and what needs to carry over. If you read my Theme Word post, you will find some of these categories very familier! They are all related to the lists of areas I wanted to work on this year.
I've posted my January Goal sheet below. A couple of items of clarification - I have a diffferant sheet where I plug in links to projects/pinterest ideas I want to make so I don't have to look for them again. The links wouldn't fit on this sheet and allow me to keep it to one page. Also, I referance The Happiness Project - if you recall, I started reading that book awhile ago and have decided to try and focus on one area each month - areas that cause me stress right now that would bring happiness if I could take care of them. I am NOT going to post about those areas specifically. I will tell you that this months area is "Discpline". I have several areas that I want to work on and be more discplined in and I feel if I can conquer those area this month, I'll have the ground work I need to carry on through the coming months. We'll see :-) My goal is that on the 1st of each month (or within the first week) I will post about my goals - I will update the previous months sheet with info on what was completed and also post the next months goal sheet.
