Progress: Day 1, January 1

Progress: Day 1, January 1

My word of the year for 2020 is Progress. I came to decide upon this word of the year because for many years now,  I have kept setting the same goals for myself, and at the end of each year, they remain unmet. So, this year, I plan to make progress on all of my goals. I may not complete them all, but I am going to make progress on each one, little by little!

Part of my issue in years past is that I didn't have any set schedule for myself. I noticed that on days when I had doctor's appointments or a lunch date, I accomplished more than on days when I did not have set plans. So, I think that this year I need to decide ahead of time what goal I am going to work on each day and schedule it.

I have decided to write this blog as a way to keep myself accountable. Several years ago I started a blog because I wanted to work on scrapbook and card-making projects every single day of the year. That blog really helped me to meet my goal. I think writing this blog will also help me to actively make progress on my 2020 goals.

So, what are my goals for 2020?

SPEND NO UNNECESSARY MONEY
FINISH COLORING "INSPIRE" BIBLE 
ORGANIZE 2018 ISRAEL TRIP PICTURES AND PUT THEM IN A PHOTO BOOK
FINISH "FLOURISH WRITERS" COURSE
WRITE THE BOOK THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO WRITE
CATCH UP ON KIDS' JOURNALS 
ORGANIZE PHOTOS ON COMPUTER 
COMPLETE "DANIEL" BETH MOORE COURSE 
CREATE MIXED MEDIA ART CANVASES 
SCRAPBOOKS CAUGHT UP TO PRESENT
VOLUNTEER 
LABEL PHOTOS AND PUT THEM IN PHOTO ALBUMS
READ DAILY

Today I made progress in three areas. I bought the paint for one of my art canvases. I wrote in my kids' journals. I read a few chapters of Angel in Aisle 3 by Kevin West.

I also went to Walmart to get blackout curtains for my bedroom so I can sleep better. I will definitely have more energy to work on my goals if I am well-rested. I ate supper with my family and we played Skip-Bo afterward. An unwritten goal is to spend quality time with my husband and kids. 

So, at the end of the day on January 1, I feel like I am off to a good start to making progress on my goals in 2020!
