Since we have started a new decade with the beginning of 2020, instead of just a brand new year, it seems that more people than usual are making bucket lists, setting goals, and doing some planning on what they hope the next 10 years look like for their life.
I love the start of the new year and setting goals! I know myself well enough to set short term, small goals that I know I can accomplish when I’m focused instead of setting larger, grander plans that may seem totally unattainable. I need a few wins along the way to keep me going!
So in thinking about what I want for myself and my life this year, I divided it into two categories : Personal and Business. I’ll share a few things on those lists below!
Personal Goals
My friend Kathleen told me that she recently made a very specific effort to create margin in her life to be able to spend time with friends, help others if they need it, and more things along those lines. As someone who has very little margin, admittedly by choice, I admired her ability to do that. In thinking about how I can do the same, I realized that I would need to truly schedule margin into my week. And if it isn’t on the calendar, or the to do list, I will very easily fill it with a work-related task. The line between my personal life and my work is almost non-existent. I’m grateful for that in a lot of ways, but I can also very easily slip into work-mode at any given moment.
So my goal this year is to look ahead at my schedule ...
