We are all creatures of habit and while it takes a few weeks for a new habit to be formed, Monday Motivation is a good one to invest in!!

Back in January I began participating in Menu Plan Monday, hosted by Laura at OrgJunkie. The first few weeks were a challenge, but once I got the hang of it, I realized that meal planning saves our family money, calories and a whole lot of stress. Now the habit is set and I feel lost if I do not have my menu planned for the week (see my current menus at my other site – Raising A Healthy Family).

A few months ago, my pal Wendy at eMoms at Home, posted her first Monday Motivation list and challenged us all to join her. Again, I am so glad I did. By laying out a plan at the beginning of the week (and posting it here to keep my self on track) has really helped me acheive some of my goals and has made me much more productive.

I know there are quite a few of my regular readers who have commented that MM is a good idea and that they should embrace it – well, what are you waiting for?? Make your plan and take it a week at a time. After a few weeks you will have a new habit and you will feel so much more productive. WAH(web)Mommy did!

Before I share this weeks’ goals, I just want to let you know that I am very proud of myself – I set my goal of no more sodas last week and I have not had a single soda since then. Yeah me!! I plan on keeping that new habit and will add something else soon.

My goals this week:

• Work on a new business model I have for one of my sites (top secret – but you will be the first to know when its ready)
• Give my inbox a good pruning (over 700 items in my inbox – surely some of them can go)
• Start a new site for a client (their current site was designed by me 4 years ago – time for something new!)

On the personal front:

• Keep up the no soda habit-in-progress
• Finish completely gutting the playroom in preparation for the upcoming holiday
• Take two bags of clothes to the local emergency thrift store

So, how about you? What will you accomplish today? This week? What good habit will you establish? Share it in the comments, or be bold and put it on your own site for all the world to read.
