Today is the first Monday of 2008 and I am officially declaring the holidays OVER. I took down my Christmas tree yesterday and every shred of evidence that the holidays were even here is gone. Last week I welcomed in the new year and made my New Year’s proclimation, but today I am taking action.
This week I will:
- Finish putting together my business action plan for the year. This isn’t anything formal, rather just a document containing some goals and action items for achieving them.
- Launch a new site for a client
- Help a client with a video cast (I will even be featured in it)
- Write a review of my new Wacom Bubble Fun tablet
- Close out 2007 books and start putting together my folder of everything I need to run my 2007 taxes. I use TurboTax Business 2007 and find it very easy to use.
On a personal level I will:
- Drink more water (I haven’t had any soda in months – yeah me)
- Move for 30 minutes a day – minimum
- Try to get the laundry room back in order (this one may be a stretch)
I have my dinner menu for the week all planned already, and I know what appointments I have, so I think I am ready to take this week head on!
How about you? What are your goals for today or the week? I have found that making my plan and holding myself accountable for it is the best way to start off my week. Join Wendy at eMoms at Home, WAH(web)Mommy and me by posting your own Monday Motivation post.

Think I’ll make my own list today to help me get through the week. You’ll have to link me when you get your review up, sounds like a fun one. Taxes, ikk, not looking forward to that this year.
I feel like I’m running at such a break-neck speed that I don’t have time to stop and make a plan. OK, I’m at a break-neck speed because it IS the plan.
I actually love planning and scheduling, and for that reason, the other people in my house (husband and mother) have been requested to turn in a list of things they need to do this week by the end of the day. I will then be compiling a master list that will get everything we need done by Saturday night. My baby shower is on Sunday, and I intend to have the nursery done, the holiday decorations down, all of the crap moved out of the other rooms where it’s been stored during the painting process, etc.
In short, but Sunday, my house will be my own again, and I can just nest for the following two weeks until the baby comes. There’s a lot to be done between now and then, though.

Eliza – having a plan is so helpful. I think you’d like it.
Lornadoone – It sounds like you are already nesting 
Good luck with the new baby – can’t wait to see pictures.

You are fantastic Char! This motivation Monday is a great feature and you have really inspired me to get myself in order.
