Intentional Living: Weekly Goals

I was able to tackle some of my goals for last week.  Although it was busy and a few extra activities were added to my list I made some head way.  Hopefully this week I will be able to tackle more items on my list!

Last week’s goals:

Family Goals

1. Read to the girls and have them read to me daily
2. Lunch Boxes & Book Bags packed the night before
3. Daily School Activities & Homework Completed
4. Attend After School Activities
5. Plan one special Activity with the Family – we took some time to rest & recharge as a family
6. Go on a Field Trip with the Girls Classes – we went Hartwell Dam and a Sailboat Educational Field Trip

Personal Goals

1. Exercise at least 5 days this week
2. Drink 8 glasses of water each day
3. Finish reading Impact Equation by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith (I got a pre-release copy to read) – didn’t have as much time to read this week
4. Finish reading The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life by Hannah Whitall Smith – wasn’t able to finish it

Home Management Goals

Financial Goals

1. Stay within Budget on Groceries $40 for 4 – stayed within budget this week
2. Payoff the Van – putting any extra money towards paying it off

I think it is important to share and encourage each other as we seek to improve our lives and the lives of those around us.  I want to live intentionally not just hope all my dreams and goals come true.  When I focus on small steps of improvement I am able to see results as I get closer to my goals.  Some weeks I get closer to the goals I have in my life and other weeks a take a few steps back (life happens, emergencies occur, people get sick).  Once the goals are written down and shared it provides a guideline for what I aim to accomplish this week.
