3 in 30 May Goals {week 1}

It is May. We have had such cold weather for such a long time it seems hardly possible that summer is just around the corner.

I have some really exciting goals this month. I only have two goals but I think that they are so important and achievable. One of the things I am learning right now is that while thinking big and dreaming big are necessary to be successful, achieving small goals and that feeling of accomplishment is just as important to continue to move forward.

Here are my May goals:

1. Complete the 31 Days to Clean Challenge  
2. Read the book of Proverbs.  It has 31 chapters so it fits well with goal 1. 

What goals do you want to achieve this month?

3 in 30 - April Recap

The weeks have just been flying by. April is almost over and here is the recap of my goals for this month:

1. Home - Keep the table and desks clear. Yes!  I have kept up the habit of keeping these two hot spots clean.  A great feeling of accomplishment.
2. Homeschool - Develop a more comprehensive idea/program for the Little Dude .  Nope!  I did not even start this one.
3. Business - Get my work area cleaned and organized. Sort of.  My main work table is clear and organize.  I must get the rest of the room done in order to function as a place where things get done.

Looking ahead
I just purchased the e-book 31 Days to Clean - Having a Martha House the Mary Way.  I am super excited about participating in the May challenge.  I also want to get my workspace clean!
 

Goals and Habits

Picking back up where I dropped off.  Took a week off for spring break, and took a break from my goals as well.  But I am back on the band wagon again.

Just a reminder, my goals:

1. Home - Keep the table and desks clear
2. Homeschool - Develop a more comprehensive idea/program for the Little Dude .  
3. Business - Get my work area cleaned and organized.

I have been giving some thought to the idea of goals vs. habits.  Two of my goals are goals, that is they have end result, a program and an organized area.  The first however is a habit, a behavior that I want to continue beyond my goals. 

Because I took a week off, I lost some momentum on my goals. But...

1. Home - the table and desks got pretty cluttered, but I took a day to clean and now they are clear again.  I am very pleased that the house is not a complete wreck, so instead of spending the whole day Saturday, cleaning like a mad woman in preparation of Easter, I will be able to go have some fun with the husband and kids. 
2. Homeschool - I am rethinking this one.  I still want to spend time with the Little Dude, introducing him to all kinds of interesting and educational experiences, I just don't know how formal I want to be with it.
3. This week will be the final push.  Unfortunately, my studio space is also the - I need somewhere to stick this out of the way of the Little Dude - space.  So this week it will be cleaned out and organized.

How are you doing on your goals?

Goals with 3 in 30

My Year's Resolution this year was to resolve to not just have resolutions at New Years.  I decided to break the year into quarters, like businesses do.  April begins the second quarter of the year, so now is a good time to review and reflect.  I did pretty well last quarter, but now it is time to make new goals for the next quarter, these are big 3 month goals.  I joined 3 in 30 (where the aim is to achieve 3 goals in 30 days), to help me break those big goals into smaller, bite-sized bits.

Organization

Right now I am dividing my life into 3 sections:

1. Home (and everyone and everything in it)
2. Homeschool 
3. Business - Find out what I do over at my Etsy Shop (There is a blog too, but it is on the list of goals to improve)

Goals

One for each section of life:

1. Home - Keep the table and desks clear
2. Homeschool - Develop a more comprehensive idea/program for the Little Dude .  
3. Business - Get my work area cleaned and organized.

What are you working on this month?
