Can you believe it’s already February and 2015 is off and running?!
Did you make resolutions for the new year? Or maybe set some really awesome goals to crush?
I made my own goal board for this year with a foam board, Post It notes, and a Sharpie.
Having something like a board to look at daily also helps keep your mind focused on the things that are the most important to you. I also have a document on my laptop where I can keep notes of my progress, for example, I will be adding each personal development book I read to the list. Look at often!
Have you been able to take steps toward any of your specific goals so far this year? Have you stayed on track and committed? If you have…that’s great! If you haven’t…that’s okay too! Sometimes all you need to do is recommit to the goal. Other times, it may require a revision to make it work. Life happens and things get hectic and everyone is busy. Things change and all of that is okay. It doesn’t make you a failure and it doesn’t mean you can’t do great things.
A great book about setting goals is Push by Chalene Johnson. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to refocus your life.
Another tool that is really working for me is a new planner I ordered from Whitney English, the Day Designer. First off, it’s BEAUTIFUL! But of course, it is also super functional and the perfect planner for anyone who loves a good to-do list.

February 10, 2015 at 2:51 amI had so many goals set for myself but life has thrown me so many stones in the way that they have build a wall. My life became really uncertain from one day to another that I am very hesitant to plan.
