New Month = New goals!
Holy Moly! Where has 2017 gone?! This year has been a HUGE year for me! I started the year out losing my grandfather and then proceeded to have one helluva roller coaster ride. I ended a decade of teaching to begin a new career in research with spinal cord injuries. I have been to Washington D.C. (and will be going again in December) and to Las Vegas! Wow!
But, one thing that I have developed and will maintain this year is goal setting. I talked before about the importance of developing SMART goals for your life. If you need a refresher, visit my October 2017 goals post. 
This was the first month that I completely filled out my SmartLife Push Journal. I didn’t quite accomplish my October 2017 goals, but I got a running (or rolling) start with them because of this system! I will continue some of them this month, but added a couple new ones. They are followed below.
My November 2017 Goals:
- Spend 5 hours daily on learning and implementing strategies to promote personal and professional growth. #5BestHours
- I will monetize my blog by adding affiliate link/posts as well as creating a product that will help people.
- I will consistently upload a new blog post to my site to equal one post per week.
- I will learn and implement a program to build my faith and practice meditation.
- I will become more confident in myself by being more assertive when speaking.
I continue to use my bullet journal to plan my social media posts, but have moved strictly to my SmartLife Push journal for goal setting and daily planning. I'm probably way too excited about starting a new journal. (There is just something about finishing up with one and starting a brand new one that makes you feel so good and accomplished!)
Something that I added at the beginning of October was weekly planning in a bigger bullet journal, so I wouldn’t have to keep re-writing ALL of the tasks that I wanted/needed to get done. I am planning a live video on Instagram (@wheellifeblog) about my planning system, so be sure to turn on my post notifications so you can join me for that video in the next couple of days!
I really cannot believe that 2017 is almost over!! What do you want to accomplish before the year is over that you haven’t yet! Leave me a comment!! Whatever it is that you want to accomplish, you won’t unless you make SMART goals! I challenge you to come up with 1 or 2 goals to accomplish over the next 30/60 days! Let’s end 2017 the right way!
Happy Goal Setting!
And, as always:
Let’s Grow & Grind!
