A Goals Update: Yearly Goals + February goals

As we near the end of February, how have you done with your recent goals? Here's a look at how I am doing with my goals for 2012 and my goals for the month of February.

2012 Yearly Goals

Personal

• Read 36 books in 2012 = three per month. {I read "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership," "The Happiness Project," and one book from my private list in February.}
• Completely reorganize our filing cabinet. I intend to spend at least one hour per week on this (during an average week). {Still doing well with this - I will have it done in March.}
• Complete one Do-It-Yourself project per month. {In February, I made Homemade English Muffins.}
• Exercise regularly - at least three times per week. {I was doing well with this, until I got sick. I'll be back on track this week hopefully!}
• Create monthly goals (a new concept, but similar to my weekly goals) for my personal life. {See below for an update on my February goals.}
• Continue creating weekly goals. {I have been very faithful in creating weekly goals and feel much more productive because of it.}

Blog

• Post a Do-It-Yourself project update at the end of each month. {I posted about my adventures in making Homemade English Muffins.}
• Post a monthly reading update at the end of each month. {My reading updates were posted throughout the month.}
• Post two new recipes per month. {In February, I posted recipes for Pizza Meatloaf and Garlic Parmesan Chicken.}
• Create monthly goals for my blog.

Marriage and Family

• Continue reading through the Bible together according this two year plan (we are on year two). {We are right on track!}  
• Read several books about marriage and family: The Meaning of Marriage, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families and Power of a Praying Wife. {I am planning to read these throughout the year.}
• Continue supporting each other through a huge upcoming change in our lives.

February Goals

Personal

• Read three books: The Happiness Project, Kisses from Katie, plus one more. {I did read three books. See above.}
• My DIY project: Make Homemade English muffins for my husband.
• Continue to exercise at least three times per week.
• Continue organizing the filing cabinet.
• Celebrate three years of marriage with my husband!

Blog

• Update my Buy Price Series from last year. {This series has been completely updated to reflect my current buy prices. I think you will find it helpful!}
• Post a Reading Update at the end of February.
• Post a DIY project update at the end of the month.
• Post two new recipes: Pizza Meatloaf and Garlic Parmesan Chicken.

I love sitting down on a weekly and monthly basis to examine how I am doing with my goals. It helps me be so much more intentional. And by having a set goal that I want to meet, I am so much more likely to accomplish it!
