For years, I’ve fought a losing battle against my personal goals and to-do list. I often read books on how to manage my time, conquer clutter and improve myself and my home. But still, my daily tasks depended on which wheel was squeaking the loudest at the time. I was definitely in “survival mode” just doing what I needed to get to the next day. Have you ever felt like that?
In 2013, I read both The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Say Goodbye to “Survival Mode and found the “a-ha” inspiration I needed. These books spoke to me. They changed my outlook on how to set goals, break them down into manageable pieces and achieve them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Fellow blogger Tammy from Creative K Kids also read Say Goodbye to Survival Mode and was inspired to start a personal priorities linkup, Pinterest board and Facebook group where we can write about our goals and achievements each month. Discussing the goals and our work towards them helps us stay accountable and motivated. To find out more about this linkup, visit Creative K Kids.

You’re welcome Heather. I try and focus but sometimes life gets in the way. Like I STILL haven’t done my May goals/April achievements. ..yet.
Keep up the good work! My goals this year are focused more towards reducing debt, maintaining a clean house, keeping up with my blog, and getting out to meet more moms. Here’s to small victories! #ThrowbackThursdaylinkup

Those all sound like worthy goals. If you blog about it, be sure to join our linky. Thanks for linking up Kristen.
This is the second post in a row that I’ve read trying to get me inspired and motivated. Thank you both! I was jogging in place 30 minutes a day until I got sick a month ago. I need to start banging it out again, along with other undone projects. Enjoyed my motivated visit! #ThrowbackThursdaylinkup
It’s so easy to break an exercising routine and REALLY hard to get back on it. I was doing good at the beginning of the year but then switched my schedule and now haven’t gotten back into it. I NEED to! Thanks for stopping by and linking up.
I’m stopping by from the #SITSBlogging Spring Spring event to have a read of your blog. My main goal for 2014 is a continuation for my goal for 2013: to stay active and eat well. I’m glad to say that my goal for 2013 was successful, and I lost 70 lbs over a one-year period. For 2014, I’ve also kept up my activity level and healthy eating.
