Was it all you dreamed it would be on January 1st when you were excited for all the new opportunities and restarts the beginning of a year brings?
I'm on track with some goals and others, like hopping on the elliptical for 30 minutes three times a week, not so much. But that's okay because it's not like I'm sitting around eating bon bons. Besides two twizzlers, a tootsie roll and a handful of chocolate chips, I've steered clear of sugar. A total win, as on most days I'd consider myself a sugar addict. Can you relate?
If January was fabulous for you. Congratulations! High fives all around! What's your plan for keeping the momentum in February? If January was a little depressing or didn't meet your expectations, that's okay, as in a few short days we'll ring in a new month. Slap the restart button and recommit to doing what you said you were going to do.
I attribute January's success due to planning, tracking and accountability. On Sunday night I write a plan for the week. I look at my annual goals and write the next one to three steps I need to take on each goal. I then print out the plan and throughout the week I x out and highlight what I've accomplished. The more marked up the sheet, the better. Finally, daily I check in and video chat with my entrepreneur bff and let her know what I need to get done for the day. And on Sundays I check in with my girls, giving a rundown of everything I finished, where I fell short and what I need to focus on for the upcoming week.
Everyone has their own system, but if you don't have one, try implementing the one above. A little direction, planning and accountability go a long way.
If you need help, just comment on this post!
Here's to a productive week!
Blessings,
Stephanie
