Hello, hello! I’m changing up my goal check-in post format moving forward… instead of two separate posts (one for my previous month check-in, and one for my new month action steps), I thought I’d combine them into one. (I also reorganized my annual and quarterly goals a bit too). So here goes!
I feel pretty good about my February goals. My goal sheet says I got 94 percent of them completed! Dang! That’s better than January (which was at 87%)! You can see the full list HERE (I tweaked goals since I posted this and have since updated them online as well).
I won’t go on at length about February; I’ll just say the ones I didn’t complete were: losing any weight (well, I actually did lose some then regained it), going to Lowe’s to look at patio doors, fully cleaning up my Google Drive accounts (I did start though), watching a movie, and continue using lotion on arms and hands (I did it a couple times but hardly enough for me to consider it checked off). In terms of Projects, I didn’t fully complete my Project Punch List for February (spoiler, Wednesday’s post will address that). And I didn’t get my taxes completed either.
So, what’s in store for March?

I might have mentioned here and there that I take too much on and that I needed to cut back. But alas: another month, another heap of action steps… so much for cutting back, huh? But I plotted out a plan for when I’m tackling what and when, and I’m hopeful I’ll have another successful month. And if not, grace is a good thing.
What are your March goals?
