We had another one of those weeks here.  I had various sons sick at home all week long.  We also had pretty crumby weather, although I can’t really complain since we were only chilly and wet.  (No danger to our home or loved ones here!  We’re praying for those of you who live in hurricane troubled areas.)

Here are last week’s goals:

    How do you track your goals? Just on your blog? In a planner?

    I go back and forth with this. I’m meeting some goals, but others fall off my radar. I’m hoping someone knows the magic solution.

      I mostly do it on my blog, but we have larger goals written in a notebook. We have a pow wow sometime around New Years and decide what our major goals are, and we write them down on paper. Then I refer to that when I down our goals for the week to try to march us towards those goals. I like keeping the weekly goals on the blog because it makes me feel accountable! And I always print a hard copy for myself so I can physically cross out things we get done (I love crossing things out!).

      I do love planners and have used them in the past. Lately I have really been thinking about getting back to a physical planner.
