Beginning of the Year To-do List Update

I am doing my best to stay on top of my to-do lists and stay sane. I've already made some progress with this week's Task it Tuesday list. Here is where I am at:

• Set my goals for 2019: writing, real estate, and personal. Deadline 1/2. First things, first. DONE - look for another post about goals this week.
• Finalize my 2019 Business Plan. Deadline 1/11.
• Finalize my President's Award application and submit it to my office for review. Deadline 1/10. Just need to submit it to the office.
• Complete three marketing proposals. Deadline 1/6.
• Write all my known meetings and vacation days into my work calendar. Meetings are in, blogging dates are in, and some time off is in. 
• Put together my 2019 vision board. DONE - check it out on Facebook
• Pack for NYC. We are taking a short trip into the city. Deadline 1/3.
• Start reading books for January virtual book tours. The first one is coming to NYC with me for the drive down and back. 
• Start my Read Through the Bible in a Year with a Chronological Bible Reading Plan. You can join us here. Read my first day and should make it through the rest of the week. Added all the Scripture verses through the end of June into my Christian planner, so I have one place to check what I need to read each day.

Mailbox Monday - Nov 12

Mailbox Monday is a meme started by Marcia of To Be Continued. Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. It now has a permanent home at the Mailbox Monday blog.

Welcome back to Monday, everyone. Hope you all had a nice weekend. Mine involved cleaning. Reclaimed the kitchen and a closet and started emptying out the basement. My goal is to be done before Thanksgiving. The weekend was also about family: final soccer game of the season, church, and lunch with my father-in-law on Sunday to thank him for his service in Korea.

The mailbox was a bit skinny this week, but what is probably the most important book I've received this year arrived on Saturday.

I've never been much of a planner person, but when social media marketing, blogging, and then real estate came into my world, I realized the only way I could keep things straight was to start time blocking. I'm still not great at it, but I am getting there. 

I didn't know this until today-- www.christianplanner.com is a veteran-owned business. So glad I am supporting them.

After the instructions page, the next two pages are a vision board and bucket list for 2019, the next 5 years, and lifetime. The photo below shows the "My Healthy Habit Goals" pages. The Eucharist is divided into four sections: Daily/Often, 1-2 Times a Week, 1-2 Time a Month, and 1-3 Time a Year. The Chalice is where you write down your 2019 goals. 

There is full month calendar page with a memory verse, and a section at the bottom with reflection questions and an action item, followed by a weekly devotional page where you can list sermon notes and Bible study notes (this page has a lot of white space and you are encouraged to sketch). This page also has reflection questions and action items.

Then your monthly calendar is broken down by week where you can list your weekly goals at the bottom of the left page and the bottom of the right page can be used to track your daily healthy habits. 

This looks like a great way to plan all aspects of my life. Do you use a planner? What do you like about it? On another note, what was in your mailbox last week?
