Each year I set goals in categories: Spiritual, Family (relationships), Home, Work/Ministry, Financial, Physical, and Mind (Education and rest are combined into this category). I am planning this year to share monthly updates with how I’m progressing on most of them (I won’t bore you with all of them), and a more detailed quarterly review…
Each year I set goals in categories: Spiritual, Family (relationships), Home, Work/Ministry, Financial, Physical, Education, and Rest/Recreation. I am planning this year to share monthly updates with how I’m progressing on most of them (I won’t bore you with all of them), and a more detailed quarterly review at the end of each quarter. I…
It’s that time of year: time to review old goals, and roll out the new goals for 2024. Last year I completed 48% of my goals, which is a failure if I go by school grading standards, but is a win if I count it as 48% better than if I didn’t set goals. I…
I’m not sure this will be helpful to anyone, but I was pretty excited with this new plan to help me redeem my time and break some bad habits. I always need a plan that is realistic yet allows me some flexibility. I’ve always wanted a plan or system that takes into account all the…
This year I knew I had to start another Bible read-through. Last year, I read different books of the Bible and bounced around here and there. It proved, again, to me that I do much better with a systematic reading plan. But, I also didn’t want to get bogged down with reading to catch up…
Well, after all the talk, the time has come. I finally decided what pages I want in the front of my bullet journal (still hard after 10 years of setting one up!) and created my first pages for my 2023 bullet journal. What’s funny is after all that stress of what I should do, I…
Back in 2018 I realized I needed some help starting my new year goals. After many years of failure on habit goals (reading the Bible, praying, tracking spending, etc) that I needed to work on the habit of developing habits. I couldn’t keep doing what I have always been doing (or not doing) in my…
It’s November again and that means looking around the house and checking my goals to see what I can make a big push to finish. We have two and a half more weeks in November and I’m going to try to finish three outstanding projects that aren’t too huge, but will require intentional effort. Project…
Bullet Journal plans for 2023 Next year will be my 10th year of bullet journaling! A decade of my life is now recorded in Bullet Journals. So, I was thinking that’s a pretty big milestone, and based on all the questions and comments I’ve gotten over the years, maybe 2023 will be a good time…
Bullet Journal I set up my October journal pages (late, but at least I did it!), and kept them pretty simple. The first page is going to be filled in with doodles of memories, like framed pictures on a wall. I’ll write in a verse I’m trying to memorize on the bottom of the page….
