Monday Motivation - Declare Your Goals

Monday MotivationThe school bus just pulled away and I am ready for another week. Oh how I love Mondays! And you can, too.

I am joining Wendy from eMoms at Home in putting my to-do list or weekly goals out there for the whole world to read. It’s easy. Grab a scratch piece of paper, open a new page in MS Word, a page in your planner or an index card and jot down a few things you want to accomplish today and a few things you think might take a little longer. Then leave a comment here, at eMoms at Home, or post them at your site and hold yourself accountable.

MY GOALS TODAY:

  • Do a set of site updates for a client
  • Get my Menu Plan Monday and Blog Action Day post up at Raising a Healthy Family. I already finished my Blog Action Day post at Essential Keystrokes. The one at Raising a Healthy Family will be on going green with kids.
  • Get my youngest signed up for swimming - I figure since she has asked about it every single day for the past three weeks, she’s serious.
  • Wade through my inbox to catch any loose ends

MY GOALS FOR THE WEEK:

  • Finish two sites for clients
  • Walk or ride the bike at least 3 times for 30-60 min. each time
  • File the stack of envelopes on my desk

Yes, I know my goals for the week this week are the same as last weeks. There are two reasons for this. One, the exercise goals are ongoing and I’m not ready to increase them yet. Second, I didn’t get that stack of envelopes completely filed.

If I get it all done, then I will treat myself to a morning out on Friday to have coffee with my two best pals or to go shopping for myself. This was my treat last week, but I didn’t get all my work done and I had something else come up, too so this week I will treat myself - hopefully…

I really, really need to do this. Every Monday it’s just so hard for me to get motivated. If I had a clear list I had to follow, I think it would be much easier!

You are always filing a stack of envelopes! What are they? Why do you have to file them? I MUST know!

Thank you for making me concentrate on my goals. I’m going to zero in on them today. You have inspired me!!
So glad you want to write for Smart Mama!

Angela - I hate filing so I am forever putting it off. The stack of envelopes on my desk are bills that have been paid but need to be filed for tax purposes. Filing and folding socks are the most cruel forms of punishment in my book.

Audrey - you are most welcome. If I didn’t set goals or have lists I would walk around in circles all day long - guaranteed.

Late to the game because Blog Action Day usurped my MM plans. But I’m glad to see the torch remained lit over here at least! ;)

Hugs, -W
