If you have dreams and plans for your life, it’s important to set goals to get you there. Otherwise you find yourself playing on Facebook for hours and wondering why you can’t ever get anything done.
Or is that just me?
Anyway, since I started making a real effort to break my goals down into yearly, monthly, and weekly plans, I’m really accomplishing a lot more!
What this is, is a way to plan how I will spend at least some of my time each day.
What this isn’t, is a detailed map that makes me work every minute of every day. I’m not a robot! I just want to be more intentional with my time.
Let’s check in on last week’s goals

What goals do you have for the week?
I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. 
Ugh, I’ve got phone calls to make, too (darn you, insurance that takes forever to process!). I’m not looking forward to it!
We, however, are lucky that we’ve already done our taxes. Except, a week after we filed, we got a call from a company the Mister won some computer parts for (they didn’t have our new address, so had to call to get it) and got a 1099, I think it was? So we had to figure out how to amend a return, then get money orders and send them off. Was not a fun time! But it’s done and it feels so much better to have it all taken care of! Hopefully yours are much easier!
I’ve had to amend returns before, too. Such a pain! I normally get ours finished in early February, so now I’m starting to feel a bit pinched for time. But hopefully it will be done soon!
Do you have WIFI at home? If so, you could use your new(ish) smart phone to earn more than 100 Swagbucks each week. I downloaded multiple apps and setup favorites. I let the favorites run while I’m doing other things and earn Swagbucks daily.
