Well, confession time: It felt like we had bombed our targets again in February. I traveled twice and had the flu for a week, so I was sure I didn’t hit the mark on most goals. However, when I went to review them I was shocked to have completed 12 goals and advanced almost every other goal!
Setting goals and trying to make progress on them every day and week will only show that it actually increases in a greater way than you would expect!
Incidentally, if you’re new here in 2025, you’re changing the way you set your goals. Instead of setting annual goals, we set monthly goals. Each month, we share a list of new goals for next month and an update on how we did our previous month’s goals.
I felt this approach could increase the flexibility of the unexpected unknowns that this year might come. We also set up a new start at the beginning of each month. And it allows me to adjust my goals until this month, and what I might know that it may already be held (i.e. I know I have more time and space than other months).
To categorize my goals, I use five areas of my prioritization and intentionality to prioritize myself, marriage, motherhood, moneysavingmom.com, and money.

I’m creating a tracker that tracks the progress of these goals every day. I used the Strides app last year and it worked for me, but I’m meeting my monthly goals so I’m thinking of trying out a physical tracker and see how it works.
