October 3in30 Goals
After taking the month of September off, I think I am ready to dive back in and tackle some more goals. It seems like so long ago that I had set and worked on goals. I had to go back and review what I had completed and where I wanted to head for the month of October.
As my first goal I decided that I wanted to revisit a previous goal that I had not yet accomplished. My blog is always a work in progress. There are many tabs (in fact I think all of them) that need work. For instance, in the coming months one of my goals will be to complete my Food Drive tab because it needs to be up and ready before we start our annual food drive for Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January. But sticking with this month, I am going to try to get some of the recipes up that I have listed in my From Our Kitchen tab.
As many of you know I went to a new planning/filing system for our homeschool this year. In doing so I planned out all 36 weeks of our school year, well, almost. It was very time consuming, and so far totally worth it, but I never actually finished it all. In lieu of time, I put off planning our Africa Unit Study because it is for the second half of the year. This first half of the year we are doing an Explorers Unit Study which I did in fact plan for. Now this month my goal is to get the Africa Unity Study planned and ready to go so that I don’t have to scurry around to have it ready when week 18 rolls around in January.

You’ve just inspired me! Those goals are truly SMART goals. I usually get the measurable bit, but you’ve broken them down into steps. That’s something which I’ve never really got to grips with, but seeing how you’ve done it has helped me to see how useful it can be, and also how you can accomplish so much by crossing things off one at a time.
Well done!

Thank you so much Julie! I break it down because it seems more doable for me. One large goal seems like one giant leap, whereas one large goal with a bunch of steps to do it seems more attainable for me! Glad I could be of help!

Wonderful goals, Heidi. I really need to get back to this, as the “excitement” of summer is over, I feel the need for some stability.
