Goal Posters

Angie e-mailed me and asked if I would share my goal poster and how I put it together. I will share it, but remember your goals are your own. I am almost embarrassed as this is so simple..1st grade work really! I like seeing my goals. It helps me to remember them and think about them. It motivates me. I so wish I had kept my previous one and you could have seen how many I actually met. About 80%. Some on my new poster are continuations. First I make my goal list on a piece of paper. I have 7 categories. Spiritual, Homemaking, Family, Financial, Health, Creative/Sewing, and Personal. I try to make 1-3 goals per category. After I pick those goals I find pictures that represent them. I get a piece of poster board, a glue stick, a black marker, and my pictures and that is all I need. On my poster I keep all my sections together also. Here they are. First is Spiritual. I had 2 goals. To be faithful in church attendance and to spend time DAILY with God. I cut out a picture of my actual church. I try to be as specific as I can in my goals.

Next is Creative/Sewing goals. I had more than enough of these!!! The Pink and Brown, Masterpiece Block #1, 4 Season Swap, and the set of tea towels I want to make...if I can find the pattern. My goal poster is for a 6 month period. I am only thinking 6 months when I do this. Not the greatest pics, but you can get the idea. Next is Homemaking. Both of these goals are a continuation of my last poster. To finish my binder and to continue to organize and maintain my home to a higher standard. I put a picture of my house with this one. Financial goals. Only one here, but it is big...I could have been much more specific, but I don't like to dwell on finances. Mostly Sweet Hubby's department. This goal helps me to keep in mind to help him! Next is family goals. The kids make their own goal posters, and I really like to have fun family goals. 2 this time. Planning and planting a garden in the spring (I used a pic of our garden from last year) and building and maintaining book baskets for everyone. My Health goals revolve around my weight as usual. And finally my personal goals. The first one is to get my feet to a pain free place. Sounds like a health goal, but it is not. I have the solution to this and it is not hard, I just need to do it. I want to be in high heels again soon. I LOVE to wear heels. I even have nice boots with a heel that dress up a pair of jeans. I really dislike the look of these crocs. I have had to wear them for so long, I could care less if I ever see another pair. I am a shoe lover. The second goal is to be able to wear a white blouse tucked in. I will NOT tuck in a blouse unless there is NO roll. In my official before pic in the previous post, it looks like my shirt is tucked in. It is NOT. That look is just a reminder as to why I will not tuck.

So there are my goals for the next 6 months. A goal poster is a valuable tool in helping me reach them. I put it on the wall in my office/sewing room so I can see it daily. Kinda silly now isn't it Angie...it was all so simple! Blessings, Bren
