I guess a list of goals is like a to-do list for the whole year. And since I am a slacker when it comes to blogging, I am just now (yes, in February) blogging about my goals for this year.
I wrote out my goals on January 1, and made a pretty little list to keep on my refrigerator, and I am aware of my goals (although that doesn't mean I have kept up with all of them). But I never thought to blog them until I thought of posting my progress so far. So first I will post my goals for the year, then do a separate post to update how I'm doing thus far.
Anyways, here they are:
- Read the Bible every day, first thing and last thing.
- Pray out loud or in prayer journal every day.
- Bring up faith with nominal and lost friends, family, and acquaintances.
Reading
- Read 2 books per month.
- Beat Brandon in reading challenge (read more pages than him in physical books by June).
Parenting
- Set and stick with a rough routine for our days at home.
- Limit Asher's screen time to an hour per day, maximum.
- Take Asher to the movies once.
- .Bimonthly play dates with cousins, and frequent visits with [the boy around Asher's age whose grandmother babysits him and is our neighbor].
- Continue weekly story time at the library. (We read together every day, I don't feel it needs to be on the goal list).
- [New goal] Get Asher out of our bed by the time baby comes in April.
Homemaking
- Get into a cleaning schedule/routine and stick with it.
- Continue meal-planning each week, stay within grocery budget, track spending.
- Eat out less, once per week max.
Marriage
- Read 2 marriage books.
- Go on a weekend date without Asher before baby is born.
Financial
- Reach savings goal by June.
- Pay for baby's birth in cash, right away.
So there they are. Knowing myself, some of these are laughable - specifically the schedule/routine ones. But it's a goal, and now I am publishing it publicly so there's some accountability.
Maybe I should add "blog more" as another goal... eh.
