Okay, confession time: I felt like I had bombed my goals again in February. I had two trips and was down with Flu A for an entire week so I was sure I had really not hit the mark on most of the goals. But when I went to review them, I was shocked that I had completed 12 of the goals and had made progress on almost all of the other goals!
It just goes to show that setting goals and attempting to make progress on them every day and every week really does add up — and often in bigger ways that you expect!
By the way, if you’re new here, in 2025, I’m changing up the way I set goals. Instead of setting yearly goals, I’m setting monthly goals. Every month, I’ll be sharing a list of my new goals for the coming month and an update on how I did on the goals from the month before.
I felt like this approach would allow more flexibility for the unexpected and the unknown that this coming year might hold. It also gives a fresh start at the beginning of every month. And it will allow me to tailor goals to the month and what I might know it might already hold (meaning some months I know I’ll have more time and space than other months).
To categorize my goals, I’m using alliteration and five areas I want to prioritize and be intentional with my time and energy: Myself, Marriage, Motherhood, MoneySavingMom.com, and Money.

I’m creating a tracker to track my progress on these goals every day. I used the Strides app last year and it worked well for me, but since I’m doing monthly goals, I’m thinking of trying a physical tracker and will see how that works.
