Have you ever felt like you fell short of your goals? Maybe you had setbacks or unexpected challenges that made you doubt your progress. That’s exactly how I felt in February. However, when I took the time to review my goals, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had completed 12 of them and made significant progress on the rest. It just proves that consistent effort and dedication to your goals can lead to more success than you realize.
2025 is the year of change for me. Instead of setting yearly goals, I’ve shifted to setting monthly goals. This approach allows for more adaptability to the uncertainties that each month may bring. It provides a fresh start and enables me to tailor my goals to the unique circumstances of each month. To structure my goals, I’ve categorized them into five areas: Myself, Marriage, Motherhood, MoneySavingMom.com, and Money.
Reflecting on my goals for February, I was pleased with my progress in various aspects of my life. Now, as I look ahead to March, I’m excited to set new goals and continue growing and improving in these areas.
