I love the beginning of each month. In my mind, new start and beginning. To me there is something about the start of a new month or Sunday night to reset myself and focus towards my goals. Also I can’t believe that it’s almost the end of the year. It’s so cliche but REALLY where did this year go? I feel like so many months were just a blur. I have so many mixed feelings about this because I really hate that I can’t remember what I did so many of the months. If I really took time and really thought about it, I bet I could.
Before we talk about goals, here’s a brief life update. If you want the more detailed version, here you go! (TAG 9/27/21 WE MOVED TO PEORIA!) We are getting settled into our new town (Peoria) fairly well. I started a new job working at a gym in the area. Slowly getting things put away, and finding our routine. He is loving his job, and working hard to prep for the next season. Off-season baseball is so much harder than in season baseball.
September Goals
My goals for September were pretty hefty considering all the traveling we were doing. I was in Michigan visiting my parents for a week, packing up our apartment and moving half way across the country. One goal that I really excited about hitting was closing all my rings on my apple watch. I have wanted this goal for a LONG TIME!! But I was super anxious and stressed I was going to miss my flight that I left my watch charging in the car. So I missed that goal right off the bat!
Here’s a list of my September Goals.

October Goals
I really wanted to use my Powersheets for October, but I forgot to grab them when I left Michigan. I still want this month to be productive, so I decided to focus on being intentional with my time. I’m still getting settled in my new home, my new work routine, and overall new life.
This month is SUPER basic goals:
- Send at least 30 minutes a day on each business.
- Track how I am spending my day. Goal is to track 70% of my life.
- To have everything have a spot in the new home.
What are your goals for October?
