I took the inspiration from Sarah about halfway through the month of June to write up some goals for the rest of the month. I worked on them diligently, but have to admit that I didn’t finish. The idea of monthly goals did keep me motivated, though, so I am going to continue the practice to see if I can make some more progress.

First, my June goals update:

  • Make end of the year folders – Umm, started but did not finish. I am moving this to August.
  • Finish flash cards – I did. And then I realized that I forgot to print a set. So I have one more set left to go. Shouldn’t take long.
  • Create a July menu plan – Yes! Done and already bearing fruit.
  • Finish lesson plans – Not quite.

In my defense, I was traveling nine days between the time I made the goals and the end of the month. Let’s see if I can improve a little this month.

July goals:

  • Finish flash cards.
  • Finish home lesson plans.
  • Set up learning space.
  • Write own version of mother’s rule and put into practice.
  • Finish co-op lesson plans.
  • Begin big sell-off and purge of unneeded items.
  • Purge kids’ toys.
  • Begin rearranging upstairs space into play room.
  • Make August menu plan.

Yeah, it’s quite a bit, but a number of those start with the word “begin” so do not have to be completed. And others have a really pressing deadline — which usually inspires me to push through and get things done. And many of them are already started, so I don’t think the list is quite as daunting as it looks. I hope.
