Goal Setting for Non-Planners

I am the opposite of Type A, and a go with the flow kind of a person. More gets accomplished the day before or 30 minutes before an assignment/project etc. than in the weeks I knew about it ahead of time. This is a weakness I've discovered about myself, and the best way to not be my normal self? Just do what needs to be done! I am hoping to be successful in implementing this philosophy in my goals for this year.

Winging my goals was also part of my normal routine, but something Dave Ramsey posted caught my attention 'Unwritten goals are just wishes'. Ouch. So instead of just wishing to accomplish some things this year, I am writing down specific, achievable goals. No fancy color coded planners, and my bullet journal has been sorely neglected. I just got out a plain notebook, wrote down my goals, and I'm allowing you to have a peak so I can have some accountability!

This year  I'm making goals for my:

Home: 
Declutter a little each day. Set aside at least 15 min each day to go through and declutter.
I am planning to redo the plan by Laura Noelle. I started the plan, life got in the way. If you would like to start your own 30 day journey, click this link to her plan! She has other great posts on minimalism. I also follow the Minimal Mom on Youtube, and she has fantastic videos on minimalism, and I feel like our personality types are similar!

1 complete load of laundry a day. Laundry has been my nemesis! I've tried all sorts of 'methods', but I believe the best method is to just do it!

Family:
Integrate more fun into learning. I'm not as creative or artsy as some, but I want to add more games and activities to our homeschooling. My specific goal is to do an educational game or science activity at least once a week.

Family game night. Designate one night a week as game night, and add special treats like popcorn to make it even more fun!

I wanted to add traveling to this goal list. With me giving birth during the summer, this may not happen as much this year. I would like to have one good family vacation this year, though!

Couple:
Make designated date night at least once a month. Having quality time as a couple is so important! Especially when thinking adding another little to the mix.

Personal:
Read more books! Designate 20  minutes during lunch to read. Rotate genres of book each time. I am also wanting to be on my phone less. I am hoping this will help!

We use the YouVersion app to complete our Bible reading goals. This year my husband and I are doing the chronological Bible in a year! We are also going through Dave Ramsey's Financial baby steps, and using it to help us reach our financial goals.

What are your goals this year? This month I'll be sharing how I'm implementing these goals in my home and family, so stay tuned!
