Want to know something that's really been Working for Me? It's accountability. When I started posting about my monthly goals, I started being more consistent in achieving them. I didn't want to report back here that I forgot about my goals after three days and totally blew it. That would be embarrassing!
In the past, I've tried asking DangerBear to hold me accountable, but he doesn't have the time to hound me about whether I've cleaned the bathroom this week. Posting here, however, has been very effective! I guess there's just something about showing the world my dirty kitchen that motivates me to clean it up...
Are You Interested?
I know many of you set goals for yourselves. Would anyone be interested in a goal-themed meme hosted here each week? We could share our monthly goals and our weekly progress toward achieving those goals. How great would it be to leave encouraging comments for other ladies, and to receive encouragement in return?
If you'd be interested in participating, leave me a comment. If enough people want to do it, I'll figure out how to use Mr. Linky and get it set up. =)
I think that would be awesome! I'm all about the accountability :)
Great idea, but then I would actually have to be.... accountable.
I really wanted to thank you for your blog title. I needed that reminder today.
Blessings,
Kimberly
I am right there with you. I just started (yesterday) posting about my weightloss goals. Why is it so hard?
I'm in desperate need of getting myself back organized. Accountablilty sounds like just what I need!
Well, if even a few people are interested, I think it's worth it! I'll look into setting up a weekly goals meme! =)
I think this is a great idea! Please email me if you start a weekly goals meme! I miss Smart Habit Saturday w/The Lazy Organizer! Actually I am doing it myself without her :)
I'm totally with ya! I too have found that if I write in my blog that I'm gonna do something... somehow it seems to happen! Whereas if I just tell Hubs I'm gonna do something... I'm not quite as motivated to get it done.
Okay, the meme is going to start on Friday, April 3! I'll post more about it early next week. =)
This sounds like an awesome idea! I just started my blog and was hoping to do something like this to help me with accountability! I'd love to participate.
That sounds like a great idea! April is just around the corner and I am already thinking of what my goals for the month should be! :) Lana
Excellent! I just posted more info. There's now a Post-It note in my header called "Philippians 3:14 Fridays." Check it out! =)
