Why do we need to set goals?

I think deep in our core we all know that setting goals is very important, and nothing great is accomplished without a plan. A happy balanced life is quite possibly the greatest accomplishment we could ever achieve...so let's do it!

This advice from M. Russell Ballard is SPOT ON, and I must share it with everyone...

" I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the technique of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential.

{REALLY PONDER THAT FIRST PART}

When one learns to master the principle of setting a goal, he will then be able to make a great difference in the results he attains in this life. I would suggest to you that setting goals is a simple process, but there are two or three things about it you have to learn. I learned in my business career that I could get all excited about a principle, or that I could get all excited about trying to do something, but if I did not write it down and if I did not place it in front of me where I looked at it over and over and over again until it really became part of me, I did not accomplish that goal. I would suggest that if you want to have success in the goal setting process, you learn to write your goals down. I would even put them in a very prominent place—on your mirror or on the refrigerator door. Keep your goals in front of you, in writing. Then, with the desire to reach your written goals, you will be more willing to pay the price that successful goal-oriented people must pay." (LDS.org June 1983 Ensign M.Russell Ballard)

I loved this it was so simple yet so profound,  what do you say shall we dream a little bigger and strive to reach our FULL potential?

I am getting myself an adorable letter board to keep my goals front and center, do you want one too?

2019 Bullet Journal Planner

I have had such a growing year, especially during the last 12 weeks when my husband and I have been able to take a class together. I was just beginning this project as we started the class. It was a wonderful growing experience, and while participating I was deeply inspired by guidance shared in that class, I quickly realized that my goal for next year should be striving for more balance in my life. The more I studied and researched on the topic, I became more certain that this was important for everyone and not just me, I am so excited to share this book with each of you. It is a limited edition so grab yours up quick before they are gone!
 So here we go on this amazing journey together. This planner is not only full of planning and organizing spaces, but it is chock full of inspiration as well. An uplifting thought and challenge is shared every month, to help encourage setting short term goals that will lead you to reaching your long term goal of a balanced life. I will be sharing even more inspiring ideas each and every month right here on my blog. That's right, my personal schedule has lightened up, as well as my church commitments have been drastically reduced so I will have more time to share inspiring thoughts with each of you.

Be sure to read the introductory letter, it has some great tips for making the most of your 2019 planner.

  Setting both long term and short term goals is very important throughout our lives. This page layout will help you choose 5 long term goals, and set short term goals to help reach the longer ones.

 Introducing a new recipe organizing layout, it's a place for you to list your favorite recipes so that you can more easily fill out the weekly menu plan. 

 I'm brought back the monthly calendar, and moved the habit tracker to help you see how much progress you made over the month! Here is where you will also find an uplifting message and the monthly challenge.

I reconfigured the weekly layout to include the much requested weekly menu. I kept the fun bullet journal styling, and even though it's slightly shorter there is just as much planning space as before in a more portable package.

Some fun extra pages to keep things light.

 There is a nice section towards the end of the planner, to help you create a budget and record your spending.

There is a 40 page note taking section at the end of the planner for all those extra ideas that need recording.


This was such a labor of love, and I learned so much researching along the way. I am really looking forward to the growth we will all experience in the coming year!
