Update!
Last month, I shared a recap of my 2018 goals and then set goals for 2019. You can read more about my January goals here and then come back for the update on this page.
TIME MANAGEMENT: Simplify to be more productive
Febru update: UGH, I failed on only checking my email twice a day. I mean, I am just at a loss on how to do this consistently. I’ve moved my email apps to the last page on my phone and just found myself spending more time searching for them.
I may take off my work email app (Gmail) but keep my “personal” email because if my kids/husband/school needs to reach me, that is the one they would email.
February update: Ok, I am doing better on batching my work BUT it seems like I have meetings every day which messes up my schedule. Not sure what to do.
HEALTH: To be in the best health of my life for my kids and grandkids
February update: I’ve done Tabata almost every day. Yay! Sadly I have not been eating well though and now addicted to Fritos. Help.
And to be clear, in case you’re thinking I’m doing something really strenuous—it’s a 4 minute Tabata. I figure if I can start with something easy–like no excuse not to exercise for 4 minutes, I can increase that time later.
HOME: Peace, calm and rest
February update: I’ve been 85.4% good on keeping my closet clutter-free. Or maybe 50% when I think of it.
Home office is okay, not great but playroom and storage closet–FAIL.
FUN: Find the joy in life and share it
February update: I have not tried once to do the splits, and I’m wondering why I wanted that as a goal.
Girls trip— scheduled one in December and working on one for spring or summer–just have to find the time!
FAMILY: Make each moment matter
February update: Looking at dates for travel. Working on photos using the Project Life app and my husband hurt his back so we canceled the party!
FINANCES: Be a good steward and live for the Kingdom, not the
February update: I am doing better but had a few moments of weakness with make-up. Mistake #1 is watching Youtube videos of make-up tutorials.
SPIRITUAL: Grow closer to the Lord
February update: These are all good for me. I’m reading the Bible every day not just in my bible studies but also doing the read the Bible in a year plan. Val Marie Paper’s Prayer journal has made it super easy because it has space for prayers, journaling, and gratitude. I’m trying to read something spiritual at both my
Fasting: We are putting together a community fast for Lent that I’ll be sharing this month.
Sabbath Delight—YES! Enjoying my Sabbaths immensely!
In conclusion, I’m trying! February is the month that everyone gives up on their goals so it will be interesting to see if that happens with me.
How are you doing on your January goals?
