I have seen a lot of other Bloggers dedicate a post each week to sharing their goals. And, I must admit that this practice has been very intriguing to me. However, I always thought of goals as being very private in nature. So, the thought of broadcasting them to the world seemed a little intimidating. I also wondered.. who would even want to read my goals?
But, then I found myself coming back to blogs such as The Orthodox Mama. And, I am always excited to read her goals and check on her progress each week. Not to mention, I always leave inspired by how much she is able to accomplish!
Then I started thinking about the accountability opportunity that this holds.
If I publish my goals for the world to see, would I work harder to accomplish them?
Would I maybe even start setting bigger goals?
The answer is undoubtedly Yes!
It’s one thing to write your goals down for only you to see. It can become very easy to compromise or lose focus, if you are not extremely disciplined.
It’s a whole other thing, when you know other people will be checking up on you!
So, that being said, today marks my first Weekly Goal List! (I am working on a clever name for this series! ;))
