January 2014 Goals

I have never been one to set New Year's resolutions.  I just feel like if something doesn't become a habit it really won't change.  I started goal setting a few years ago.  When we got to the end of our first year of homeschooling I realized I had no way to judge how we did.  We now write school goals each fall.  I carried that over to my own life a few years later.  It has helped to push me to do things I wouldn't have done.  
Last year I didn't set goals each month.  I had a large list of things I wanted to do by the end of the year.  It was overwhelming and I didn't get a lot accomplished. I still did a lot more than I would have done without a list at all.    This year I am making smaller monthly goals.  I will have to check them more often and hopefully cross more things off this year.
I would love the accountability (really the only reason I am blogging about it).  

 Here are my goals for January.

What are your goals for the month?
