Hello, February! With the start of the new month, I thought I’d outline my top 3 goals for this month and how I plan to reach them:
- Improve my health: I want to eat out no more than 1-2 times per week for the month of February. This will save money (a definite plus!) and will force me to plan and prep meals here at home. I’d like to take at least 4 walks with the dogs this month. I have gotten out of the habit of walking the dogs after getting Cliff, and the fresh air would be good for me and my mental health. I’ll start with a small, easily-attainable goal for now, but I’m hoping to crush it this month.
- Develop a posting schedule: I want to post at least twice per week. I may need to do writing binges and schedule posts in advance to make this happen, but I want to make this a habit.
- Research garden ideas (or actually start my garden): I want to start a garden in my back yard this spring. I’d like to research and plan out the actual garden this month at minimum, but I’m really excited to get started on the actual garden itself. Of course, there’ll be a post with lots of pictures once it’s ready to go.
By picking my top 3, I can focus my time and energy on those things that matter the most to me at the moment instead of working on a million ideas at once. I feel that working on too many things at once leads to my feeling overwhelmed and getting nothing done at all, and getting nothing done at all leads to a sense of failure and making excuses for my shortcomings. Breaking things down into small, attainable chunks will focus my attention on what matters most.
I can’t wait to tell you how I did with these at the end of the month! What are your top 3 goals for February?
