Once you have a routine established to maintain your
home, you will find time for fun or large projects.The last piece of this
puzzle is long run goals. These goals can be life changing; like losing weight
or they can be large hurdles you have wanted to overcome, such as planning or remodeling a kitchen, a new greenhouse or learning Italian. All of these goals
are on my current long run goals.
Most people do not set long run goals. Businesses always
set three to five year long rang goals but sadly as individuals, we do not look
very far down the road of life. Maybe today, tomorrow or the rest of the week,
but not next year or two years from now.
I love long run goals. Those goals transformed our house
into a home. I painted every inch of my home's interior. I also have a graduate
degree due to long run goals.
New Year's Resolutions are soon forgotten about one week
after New Year's. So how do you achieve long run goals.
1. Your first priority is to think
big.... I mean really big. Those are long run goals.
2. Break long range goals into smaller
more manageable goals. If redecorating your home is one of your long run goals,
set small goals of rooms you want to paint. If you want to lose 50 pounds, set
5 pound goals.
3. Set time lines for these small goals.
4. Post long run goals in a place you can
see them. I keep mine on my bathroom mirror.
5. Have an accountability partner. A blog
is a wonderful accountability partner.
September is a funny month.. the end of summer but I
always look to the end of the year. We are approximately 16 weeks until the end
of the year and it comes fast. So I need to start wrapping up the garden,
flower beds and prep for fall planting.
We have lots going on now.... with classes, kids in
college, etc. I have a big announcement later today which is very exciting,
too. I am helping a bride plan a wedding, writing a book and so many other
things too numerous to mention. With that in mind, the menu is so easy and
delicious.
