2019’s Goal Roundup

With this year being the year of foundation, I wanted to share some specific goals I am trying to tackle in 2019. A few of these goals are multi-year goals, which relates back to the theme of FOUNDATION really well. As long as I am creating a system, routine, or process that addresses the “problem” and creates progress then I will count that as a win!

I came across the idea of publicly sharing goals from Project Life Mastery where he uses the format below. It is a combination of affirmation and SMART goals with a set deadline. While I’m still figuring out how much I’m willing to share with the world here’s a few that I don’t mind making public.

Note: I will regularly come back and update this post with my progress toward each goal as the year progresses.
