Quarter 1 - the goals


About this time last year I set myself GOALS for the year and was feeling quite proud of myself....then I promptly posted them and ignored them.  As the year went by I probably looked at the list once and as the year progressed my priorities and desires CHANGED and what I wanted to do at the beginning no longer seemed that important anymore.  I didn't get to tick many things off and it was all a bit humdrum.

This year I thought I would look at things DIFFERENTLY - instead of setting year long goals, I am going to set goals quarterly and hopefully keep it more fluid in the process.  I did myself a little mind map yesterday of all the things that I am hoping to achieve in the next 3 months.  I have stuck the map up next to me and may add or delete as the coming months go past - its a work in progres, front and centre, rather than filed and forgotten.

Lets see if a little change of FOCUS helps me actually get some stuff done.

The goals
... read and plan energy improvements
... take my iron tablets and re do tests
... learn how to use photoshop
... design and make a birthday card and a baby card
... make bear carrier for sew-a-long
... make some skirts for Ellie
... make theatre for sew-a-long
... finalise legal paperwork
... read 3 books for fun
... declutter 3 areas
... start menu planning
... cook 3 new things

I love how your goal map looks like a neuron. :) I guess I am that nerdy. You have some wonderful goals. Best wishes on fulfilling them.
