Staying On Track

Today I'm checking in! I actually had this post planned for around the first of February but I had some things come up and had to plan it for another day.

I wanted to let you know what I was using to stay on track this year.

I have a Filofax Domino Personal size that has all the things that I need to help me stay on task and I can fit it into my purse to take it anywhere with me. I have had it for awhile and its a little battered but it serves its purpose.

I recently purchased printable planner inserts to try this month and I can't make a judgement yet if they are working at this time as it is hasn't been a full month. 

The shop is called Kinleighs Doodles- Planning for Better Inserts ( I am not affiliated with this link, it is for the purpose of sharing the shop where I purchased my planner inserts).

I purchased their personal size weekly on four pages layout and middles. So far I am liking it but I can't really say as it hasn't even been a full month.

So what are you using to stay on track with goals for this year, let me know!

I also have been playing around with digital design and made a free printable planner dashboard. Just right click on the image below and save.

Checking In

2019 Make it your Year!

So here we are 3 weeks into the new year. Goals have been set, steps are in place.
Are you keeping up with your goals?

Here is some questions to ask yourself that helped me check myself to make sure that I am on track.

Am I achieveing the small weekly/daily goals that I have set for myself?

Pulling out the planner,  vision board etc, where ever you wrote out your goals. How many have you checked off and successfully completed?

Looking at where you have worked the least, what needs to shift too work on what you have been putting off?

Is it time management or effort that needs to change. Maybe it’s the situation, is it a realistic goal right now?

What can be done right now to get back on track if you have fallen off?

Always look at your goals and what the end result will be never stop rearranging to make each and every goal happen this year. If one can not be reached in the now, is it a one that needs to be moved to perhaps a monthly goal instead of weekly.

It’s not to many questions to ask, its just a few to ask yourself often. Always check where you are with your goals helps you to stay on track and watch  get closer to the end result. It may seem far off now but before you know it it wil be on the horizon.

I am currently on track with my goals. As this blog was one of them.  My goal for the blog was to start posting content again and so far so good. It maybe small but I’m getting there

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year readers, I have been planning and setting goals all day. I’m a little behind on the vision board but I am determined to get it done today for the year. I am setting goals for the year and the month and setting up my very first vision board to keep them in site for the year to reach each one. This is in hopes that I can follow thru and keep myself accountable for everything that I do this year. I want change this is the year to do it. Why now you ask, I have so many hopes and dreams that I never put them in a visible place. I may write them down here and there but not actual follow thru. I’m tried of them being just hopes and dreams, I want them to be reality. Now is better then never and I figured with the year I can start fresh and watch the results for a whole year. In the end I want to see he goals hat I actually reached and did and say that I did it. I made it a reality. Now I know that this isn’t all going to happen over night that’s why I started at the beginning of a brand new year. I have plenty of time to set smaller goals to reach the bigger ones by the end of the year.

Some of my goals are to work from home and own my own business. I feel that since I started working outside the home again 6-7 years ago I have lost a lot with my children. They no longer have the routines and stable structure of a smooth oiled machine. When I get home from work I’m to tired to do anything else and don’t spend that quality time with my children making dinner or doing homework. I have come to rely on them solely being responsible for their school work on their own and that has failed. No I am not a single parent my husband also has a job but he is the same way when he gets home. I don’t take the time needed from work to take them to the dentist or doctors let alone special school events. I don’t blame working outside the work fully for this but it has a lot to do with it. Yes three of my children are teenagers one being 18 and I have a 12 year old and they are all doing their own things in life but I want to be in the moment with them.

Another goal is starting a business and having it be successful. I know my goals do not come without there ups and downs and I’m ok with that. I will go thru trial and error to find what works and what don’t. I’m not expecting things run smoothly or just take off on their own. I know that each goal requires me to put int he hard work it takes to get them where I want them. I am currently in the stage of research of what it takes to start and run a business also what exactly it is that is the best business fit for my family and I.

Another thing I did today was choose a word for the year. My word is possibility. There is going to be possibility in everything that I do this year. I will turn possibility into possible by the end of the year as it goes perfectly hand in hand with my goals. The possibilities as endless with my goals this year and I am over the moon excited to see what it brings.

So in closing have you made any goals for the upcoming year? Do you make a vision board?  What do you hope the New Year brings?

Until next time God bless,
Krystal

One of those days

I have been having a rough few days at work. I have a coworker that makes me feel as if I'm a child and I'm stupid. When I ask a question she reacts as if I'm a child then she yells at me which makes me feel stupid. I can't wait for my days to end so I can go home when I use to enjoy coming to work. I am going to make the best of today and get through today with a smile no matter what.

On a different note I got a new toy!!! My husband got me a Nikon D80 with a telescope lens!!! I have been in heaven with it. It takes great pictures, my kids hates it because all they hear is click, click, click lol. When we put up our Christmas tree a few days ago I took tons of pictures. I well share later because I'm at work and don't have access to my pictures our the camera.

Well I hope everyone has a great day, I'll try and be back later with photos!!!

God bless!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I hope you are enjoying this beautiful day with your loved ones and with those we keep in mind daily. I have a few hours til we are due to show up for our Thanksgiving feast and we had dinner with my mom and brother and my family last night. My mother is one of the ones that have to work on Thanksgiving every year and Black Friday so we always do Thanksgiving with her and my family the day before Thanksgiving itself. I thought I would stop in and say a quick hello to everyone.

Have a great day and God Bless!!!

From my family to yours!
