In an effort to accomplish some goals this year, I thought there isn't really any better way to lay a good foundation than writing them down. Accountability and support is important in finding success.
Last night Matt and I stayed in for New Years Eve. It seemed like a normal night at home, but as we were watching Game of Thrones, I reflected on the year and thought about what I had already achieved. I realized that I need to flip a few priorities. I wrote out a list of things on my Kindle and then asked Matt to share some things with me to write down too. I felt reassured as he mentioned some of the same goals as I had already documented. It is easier to do things together than alone.
I know that when creating goals it is recommended to only create a few achievable goals to focus on. Despite this knowledge, my list is quite lengthy. Like I mentioned above, it is more of a reflection of where I'd like to focus my attention. While in 2013 Facebook, Netflix, and the couch too often were what I turned to. I'd like to turn to the following list BEFORE going to Facebook, Netflix, or the couch. (It's just SO comfortable!) I know I won't be able to do ALL of these things everyday, but they are positive options for me to focus on.
1. Make dinner 3 nights a week.
2. Get active 4 nights a week.
3. Read 12 books this year.
4. Read the Bible and keep a prayer journal.
5. Read 2 news articles a day.
6. Take the GRE.
7. Sign up for a graduate class.
8. Blog 1 time a week.
9. Travel somewhere new.
10. Date night once a week.
Cheers!
