It's been a year or so since I've shared my monthly goals. Don't get me wrong, I still had them. I just didn't share them 😀 This year I worked hard on writing my "25 for 2025" goals for the accountability group that I am part of with some friends and then took that list to create my January plan.
A couple of things to understand about writing goals - just because you write a goal doesn't mean it will happen. Why? Because life and time don't always go as planned. A goal might seem important at the 1st of the month but then things shift even a week into the month and you realize you need to do something else instead or first. As a goal oriented person, I am perfectly fine when I don't accomplish all of my goals because what goals do for me is give me direction. That list helps me focus on specific things instead of wondering what I should be doing. Of course accomplishing goals feels GREAT! It is such an awesome feeling to check something off of the list! I will come back at the beginning of February and let you know how I did. (I bet you can't wait).
Any, here is my list for January!
