I spent a lot of time in December setting goals for the new year. I also have a tradition of creating a vision board for the year too. I like to create my vision board before the 1st of the year and have all my goals ready to go.
This year, I finished my vision board, but I didn’t complete my goal setting. My goal setting time was interrupted by travel at the beginning of the year. This past Sunday (January 12th), I finished setting all of my goals for the year. I was able to break them down into quarterly and monthly goals too!
I am a planner nerd and a perpetual list maker. After I set my goals, I schedule some action items in my planner.
Now that we are in a new year, let’s talk goals! Here are mine for January. Next month, I’ll provide an update on what I accomplished.

stands out from other books on goal setting by sounding a wake up call, arousing its readers out of the lull of daily life. One day it will end and “we’ll lie in bed..reflecting”. Groeschel challenges readers to seek God’s original intent and purpose for their unique existence and then set goals pressing towards that vision.
