But having goals and working towards them is very satisfying. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-33307245423147615922016-11-05T08:51:50.111-07:002016-11-05T08:51:50.111-07:00Hi Bless, I think you have some wonderful goals th...Hi Bless, I think you have some wonderful goals there. I think setting goals gives us something to aim for and writing them down really helps remind us to do so. :) Great job!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-36963322343649697322016-11-03T11:51:09.450-07:002016-11-03T11:51:09.450-07:00Thank you, Laura.

Just don't be like me and say, "Now where did I put that gift?" :D One year I hid my daughter's Christmas gifts in the clothes dryer and then I forgot where I had put them till after Christmas!

My older boys are so messy, they would lose the gift card).

Sometimes, because one has achieved them; sometimes, because those goals no longer seem to apply. I have come to a stage in my life where my ultimate goal is to live out the rest of my life to the best of my abilities. To me, that means a well balanced life. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-40027770649635706672016-11-02T14:31:15.407-07:002016-11-02T14:31:15.407-07:00You say you don't analyze things too much, but...You say you don't analyze things too much, but you've done a very good analysis of how to work on a balanced life.

One is more likely to get things done, that way. <br /><br />Maybe get gift cards for everyone this year for Christmas and have them do their own shopping during the after-Christmas sales? Will you still get your 10% rewards if you purchase gift cards?

So I'm going to have a "theme-a-day" to encourage myself to actually work on that category of goals. For instance, naming yesterday "Garden Day" actually made me enjoy the backyard for a few hours and then do some gardening chores that I wouldn't have done otherwise. I did get started on reading some of the books on my "To Read in 2016" list (I'm on my 3rd book that's on the list!). As for the other theme days, I think I'll have "Photography Thursday" because I have got to make *some* progress in understanding how to use my dSLR. And on Fridays I'll try to focus on all things financial. I really need to take a look at our portfolio and do other tasks around that, things that I really dislike doing and that I haven't touched since January! So my goals are nebulous, but I have a long list of goals that I had written for 2016 that I can refer to. Ideally, I'd like to be done with my Christmas shopping by 11/15 since that's when my 10% Rewards offer on one of my credit cards expire, but that probably won't happen since I have no idea of what to get, for the most part. In the meantime, I'm going to stock up on things like the expensive cat and kitten food, baking supplies and other non perishables that are on sale this time of year.<br /><br />Good luck with your November goals, Bless!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.com
