Goals for a Productive 2010
Staying focused…one of the hardest things to do. Whether it’s in my personal life or work. There always seems to be “stuff” that gets in the way.
I have lots of Goals for 2010, and what better way to hold myself accountable, than to share them with you.
Family and Marriage (I’m listing this first, because it’s the most important)
- Work at being a better wife
- Work at being a better Mom
- Spend less time on the computer in the evening
- Have a family game night once a week
- Watch a movie with the family once a week
- Go out on a date with Doug at least once a month
- Have friends over once a month to play cards or visit
Personal

Great goals! I’m stealing a few! Just wanted to encourage you to make reading Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover a big priority. We’ve been doing his plan for 6 months and it has totally changed our life, our marriage, and our family! Not easy, but worth it!! Great list!
