New Year, New Goals

 Hello, 2022.

I've spent a lot of time reflecting on what I want to accomplish this year. I have some goals in mind, so I took the time to write them down as a way to hold myself accountable, and to make sure that I make an active effort into achieving them. Some of my goals are personal goals, whereas other goals pertain to my career. Today I'll tell you about my personal goals!

• Less Screen Time: I spend far more time than I should, mindlessly browsing social media throughout the day. I don't accomplish near as much as I could without the screen time. I'm doing well with this goal so far. I also find that I have much less anxiety since I've started paying less attention to social media and all of the negativity that I see on social apps and websites. I call this one a win!
• Stick to a Daily Routine: I'm not the type of person who can get through the day without one. If I don't have a written list of daily goals, they won't get done. I usually have several thought processes flowing through my mind, so it's hard to keep focused on a specific task if there isn't a written list in front of me. 
• Stay Organized With a Planner: These days, there is always something to remember; doctor appointments; extracurriculars for the kids; family events, etc. With a Planner, it will be much easier to remember what needs to be done and when. 
• Library Once a Week: I love to read. It's something that I don't get to do often enough. I started out strong last year, but then I got into a reading rut. I want to change that this year. My plan is to start going to the library at least once a week. I plan to bring the girls with me to help encourage their reading as well!
• Blog/Write More: I use to spend a lot of time writing, and I feel like I don't write nearly enough anymore. In 2022, I want to aim for at least one blog post a week. 

There are other goals, of course, but these are the important ones for me. There are big things happening behind the scenes, and all of the small goals are a means to get to the big ones. I'm so excited to see what 2022 has in store for me and my family!
