Goals For February

Last month I shared with you how I think making lists and having goals is very important because it helps me to be more efficient and productive.  This year I've decided to scale down the size of those lists and leave more time for family and fun.

This is what I have planned for this month:

1.         Collect items for Easter baskets

2.         Send a card or letter to someone

3.         Family Nite Out or Outing

4.         Be creative - sew or craft something

5.         Do some investment cooking

6.         Complete another small home improvement project

7.         Spring clean our kitchen

8.         Wash all the doors and doorknobs

9.         Create a new menu plan for March

10.       Make or bake something to share

11.        Sell something on eBay, Etsy or Craigslist

12.        Enjoy a Family Movie Nite or Family Game Nite!

13.        Plan a mini road trip adventure

14.        Organize and update important paperwork 

15.        Invite guests over for a visit or dinner

Although this list is much smaller I'm sure I will still be productive and manage to accomplish quite a bit each month.  I do find lists to be a great tool to spur me on and get things done when I'd just rather be a slacker. J
