I cannot believe September will end in a few hours. It has been an eventful week for our family and a busy week in my business. Here’s what I set out to finish in September.
Fill the Freezer I am happy with the progress I made this month. I didn’t make as many complete meals as I intended when I set the goal, but I did more freezer cooking this month than I’d completed since March. I also discovered I had a lot of options with what we already had in the freezer and was able to minimize shopping trips this month.
Purge and Organize the Staircase Closet Check!
“Fall” Cleaning I completed about half of this list of 23 specific seasonal cleaning tasks this week. Given the unexpected changes to our schedule, I am happy with the progress I made.
That just leaves me considering my goals for October.
Write Weekly About Allume
I shared last week some of my thoughts on attending Allume {formerly Relevant} the first time two years ago. I am blessed to be attending courtesy of a scholarship from the fabulous ladies at Write It, Girl this year. It is my intention to help women, especially those attending the first time, feel prepared and encouraged before they depart for the conference this year.
Purge 15 Minutes Per Day
I have set a goal several times this year to do major cleaning, utilize my family binder and cleaning schedule, etc. I have become more consistent with my regular routine and gotten a few organizing projects done with these goals, but I am truly looking to make decluttering a habit again. This will likely include my own clothes and craft supplies.
Start Each Day with Quiet Time
While I participate in a Bible study, attend a church regularly, and depend on my faith daily; it does not negate my need to make my faith a priority each and every day. For me, placing this practice first is not about earning a position with God, but reminding me where to draw my strength from each day.
What are you focusing on in October?
Hi, I’ve come over from Our Good Life. Well done for chipping away at your goals this month. I like your idea of 15 minutes of purging a day. I could do with that ALL over my house!
You did great in September even though you may not have gotten everything done that you wanted. And you’ve made some good goals for October; I still need to make mine.
It’s wonderful that decluttering is a goal. I do it a lot! Because I move all the time. But also because it find it refreshing. You wont regret it:) Your goals this month are wonderful. I Love the morning time too! I can get so much done in the morning. Your doing a fab job, keep up the good work! God Bless, Stephanie
These are great goals – I love your heart for encouraging those heading to Allume for the first time, but I’m sure you’ll bless those returning as well {like me!!}
What wonderful goals! The 15 minutes a day goal sounds very doable! Good for you with all your goals!
