And with that, let the goal completion begin! What about you? What are you hoping to accomplish in August? Do you have people going back to school this month? My kids go back on the 15th, so about half of the month will be the last of summer, and the rest will be kicking off back to school.
We have one month until school starts. The plan is a few days Great Lakes roadtrip between Ontario and Michigan, deep cleaning the house and finally building the front gate for the fence. Summer soccer season is over so I see weekly visits to the pool or nearby lakes. I only have one week off so just want to enjoy summer while we can.
ReplyDeleteLove your list! I'm a listy type person too so having goals written down, especially by category, seems to make things easier to accomplish!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. that is an ambitious plan. august in general feels so early to have kids back to school, but the 15th, very early. I still have the labor day tot he week after Memorial Day schedule in my head.
ReplyDeleteLove your monthly goals and how successful you are accomplishing them. I tend to get overwhelmed with big goals and have tried to use daily lists to stay on track.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge list but you are so organized that I am sure you will accomplish it all. The best of luck to you!
