Goal setting has been so helpful to me this month! Now I just have to limit how many goals I set for myself in a week!
Jennifer Covington says
Hello,
I love your list! I just put together my first and I am excited to use it! Can you tell me how you differentiate between your goal list and your to do list? 🙂 Thanks!
Jennifer
Crystal says
I break the weekly goals down into bite-sized pieces for my daily to-do lists. Such as: Read 2 chapters of X book, spend 30 minutes working on X business project, make one new recipe, etc.
Jennifer Covington says
I guess my real question is where do you put all of the tedious little things that need doing like schedule hair appt and turn in sports forms for kids. Do you have a separate to do list for those, do you incorporate them into your weekly goal list? If they’re separate, what rule of thumb do you give to something that goes into your goal list and not just a to do list? Thank you!
Katie Haney says
One of my goals this week is to try new recipes– including the one for scalloped potatoes that you posted in your meal plan, Crystal! I’m excited to see how it turns out!
Mary Ellen says
Have you read “The Millionaire Next Door”? I found this book really interesting! Most of the millionaires are frugal people keeping tabs on their spending, not those living in $750,000 homes with several BMW’s. (Well, 750k for the midwest… which is different than the coasts).
Crystal says
I haven’t, but my husband keeps telling me that I need to. Stop Acting Rich is by the same author and I really enjoyed it.
Lydia says
Way to get all your goals done for the week! That is my goal for this week!
Carol@simple_catholic says
Congratulations on crossing off everything from your list, Crystal!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any goals since my one goal for the summer was to survive the college chemistry course I was taking; and now it feels so good to get back on track with regular goal setting. 🙂
Karey says
I loved reading “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society”! Great book, enjoy!
Victoria@Snailpacetransformations says
Can’t wait to hear what your new ebook is about.
Larissa says
After watching your goal-setting for most of this year Crystal, I think I am ready to actually try to achieve some of the goals I SAY I want to achieve, but don’t actually write down or challenge myself to actually achieve, so I have jumped in this week, and put down a list on my blog in my attempt to get into the habit of crossing things off my list. Praying this will be the *kick-in-the-pants* I need to get more organised and productive with my time!!
Stephanie says
Having finally gotten my counter mostly cleared off (still some produce to be canned on it) I am feeling optimistic about this week. There are several goals on my list, but they are all pretty easy to do – except two that is.
Shelly@Frugal Family Home says
I just started working on our fall schedule this week. We are slowly getting back to a normal schedule now that my son is recovering from his hospital stay. I am also hoping to get a few posts ahead for my blog. I need to get back into my regular Bible reading time.
I am looking forward to see what your new ebook is about.
