I'm a little late on sharing my goals, better late than never though. The past 9 months have been a whirlwind of changes for me. I used to power clean in a couple of hours and kept my home super organized. I totally thought that with being a stay at home mom I would be even that more organized. You know what I have to say to that HA-HA-HA! There is only so much I can do in a day and honestly my top priority is my little man so staying organized falls at the bottom of my list when I have extra time. I am slowly getting the hang of being a stay at home mom and managing my house. When I wrote out my resolutions for the year I realized that there was a recurring theme and I am sure you can see where I am going....GET ORGANIZED oh and decorate, lots of decorating!
Except that is a really, really vague goal. I purchased this amazing planner.
I love the colors and the fact that I was able to customize it!
Oh yes and for my goals....
| one |
Create a cleaning schedule and actually stick to it! If I can accomplish one cleaning task a day instead of trying to cram it into one day that would be so much easier.
| two |
Meal plan. I was really good about meal planning for about a week and it made grocery shopping so much easier because I used everything I purchased and I didn't have to spend time scrambling to throw something together based on what meat could defrost the fastest.
| three |
Finish decorating. This really isn't an organizing goal but it truly needs to be done. I finally have the energy and inspiration to decorate again so bare walls be gone!
| four |
Rearrange closets and put things in containers and label them. I did this already with my baking stuff, made such a difference and I can actually see what I have and when I need to buy more.
| five |
My ROOM! We have left our master bedroom last on our list and it is done taking the back burner. I want it to look amazing. We are going to get a headboard (or maybe DIY one) change up the decor a bit.
| six |
Finish the office/craft room which is our storage room at the moment, totally unnecessary things just need to be put away.
Every month I am going to make mini goals to go alongside each of these goals to help to accomplish all of them in 2014. So what are you goals this year?

I am getting in the habit of writing things in one place instead of on a million different pieces of paper that end up getting lost or ignored.

I love a good colorful planner...bonus points for being fresh and new! I think decorating and clean eating are my majors for my list.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on things being harder or rather not making it to the top if the list when we have small kiddos. When I worked nights I thought I had so much time yet nothing ever got done. Now working m-f is even worse yet somehow I manage to stay as organized as possible. Weird. Anyways. I found a great guide for a cleaning schedule on another blog. I'd love to share it if you want. :)
