Goal (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

This year I decided NOT to set yearly goals. My bullet journal has been rather ignored compared to previous years because I have no goals I need to track in it. This is my depth year. I am supposed to go back to things I previously tried to get into, but never quite did. I should also be trying to dive deeper into things I barely scratched the surface of in previous years.
I feel like the year is basically going well, but it feels a tad unfocused without the goals to work toward. Goals used to be something I made a list of around the beginning of each new year, posted to one of my groups and promptly forgot about until the holiday season was again on the horizon and I wondered how I had done. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I usually managed to accomplish a few of the goals from my list, but not very many and those were completely accidental or a matter of choosing goals I knew I would do in the first place. This ignoring the goals and thinking they will magically happen is a bad plan, it is really a non-plan.
I think I will be setting some goals for 2020, maybe not as many as in previous years, but at least a few. There is just something about marking my progress in the bullet journal that really motivates me. I am enjoying the lazier year and not having to record everything or feel like a failure. Who knows, maybe I will set one bog goal for the year or each quarter and break it down into manageable steps.
Do you have any advice to share that you have found works well for achieving goals? Oh, please share them. I can use all the help I can get when it comes to goals.
