This is always the time of year to set new goals. The problem I have is this pregnancy. I'm in the third trimester and and having a hard enough time just keeping up on the house work and the kids. However, I have a few goals in mind that I need to figure out how to accomplish.
1) loose all baby weight in 6 months after the baby comes (I've given myself a longer term goal on this one because I think lack of sleep for the first few months is going to make it challenging)
2) CPA exam study. This one has been really tough for me. I have a hard time finding consistent time and energy to accomplish this.
3) Temple once a month. I'm giving myself a couple month's grace when the baby comes. If I end up on bed rest (highly probable), then February/March are probably also out. Oye!
4) Daily personal scripture study/prayer. We do pretty good with the family stuff, but I have a hard time being consistent with my own efforts.
5) Photography. I really want to continue to get better at this one. I think I'll set a goal to take a minimum of one great nature shot (calendar worthy) a month. I would LOVE to be able to start selling these as limited edition prints, but I have no idea how to market such a thing or where to sell it.
6) Piano. Another personal development area. I'd like to get back into practicing. Ideally, an hour a day. Realistically, 3 hrs a week.
7) Kids. I'd like to spend more time with the kids doing more structured activities. I'm trying to plan out a topic that we can learn about each month and include a fun field trip associated with it. I'd also like to just spend more play time with them.
So, now, the hard part is actually following through with these. I'm hoping that after the baby starts sleeping through the night, I'll have enough energy to start doing these things. Wow. I feel overwhelmed.
