Goals – February 2019 – Amanda & Chad Photography

Business, ourlife

Feb 7, 2019

I can’t believe we are already in February but here we are!! 🙂 January was productive but since this was my first time using Powersheets, January ended up being a month of learning as well. This month should be a little more productive since I am now set to the routine. Goals are very different from my To Do’s and it’s super important for me to remember that. Keeping a daily To do list is vital since it consists of things that MUST be done immediately! For instance, emails, laundry, dishes, making the bed, etc etc etc. I don’t consider these things Goals…they are however things that lead up to goals and just make up life in general. Also, not having a routine for quite a while and then trying to set yourself up for success with routines can actually be “uncomfortable” at first. I found that I was so set in the original ways that I would automatically gravitate back to those at times and have to remind myself to stick to the new routines. Change is hard, but I am so happy that I made progress!

So, now that we have that settled, I have been looking over the things from last month that I accomplished and I was tempted to just go ahead and mark a few of those that really weren’t complete. Yes, just so it looked good. Let’s just keep it real though! I didn’t accomplish all of them and as a perfectionist that just bothers me! lol I know all of you perfectionists out there understand how that feels! Ok, I didn’t accomplish it all and that’s ok! We are in a new month now and I’m ready for it!! So, here is January’s RECAP….
