I also want to talk a bit about goals for October. My goal for September was to create routines and be consistent. It was mostly successful behind the scenes, though some unexpected tasks and vacation stuff made it maybe not seem too successful from the outside.
So for October, my main goal is to simplify. I’m cutting out the tasks and things that aren’t absolutely essential. I’m getting rid of distractions. And I’m just going to try and stay focused on the most important things.
I’d love to hear your goals for the next month too! And of course – don’t forget to download your own free goal planning guide from the Wattlebabes resource library (sign up here!)
