February Goals

Goal setting is a topic close to my heart. I firmly believe life is precious and in order to live it to its full you have to know what you want and make a plan to achieve it. What has become increasingly clear to me over the past few years though, is that it is incremental steps that lead you to a meeting a long held goal; for example saying 'I want to buy a house' doesn't work, but breaking down each of the steps you need to do so - for example, 'define an area where we want to live', 'get a realistic valuation' of our current house' -does.


Thus, at the beginning of the year I work out what I want ('big picture goals'), and then carefully plan out the steps I need to take to get there ('incremental goals'). I set incremental goals month by month and I thought it might make me more accountable to write them down on here. So here goes:


Travel:

• Enjoy our skiing holiday -  and maybe ski a black run!
• Plan girls trip to Glasgow at the end of this month;
• Book all accommodation for our March/April trip to Vietnam trip.
• Get jabs for Vietnam trip.

Spiritual:

• Start reading the Torah in English with commentary;
• Keep up gratitude journal;
• Don't let Hebrew lessons slip, even if I am busy with work (Sunday afternoon homework!)

Work:

• Two work blog posts a month;
• Get two clients' cases off my desk;
• Use the CRM task function to delegate efficiently.

Life Admin:

• Update my Ipad software (which dates back three years!);
• Phone the Student Loans Company and work out where I am with my repayments;
• Book my first driving lesson;
• Book a 10k for the Spring.
