2019 Goals Review

So here it is mid-November. How have I done? Pretty much blew these goals. I had more success with my writing ones. Let's take a peek.

PERSONAL GOALS

GOAL 1: Read the Bible this year

I made it through June before this fell apart. I am still reading from my Bible, but haven't caught up since I feel behind this summer. 

GOAL 2: Exercise on Tuesday and Friday mornings

I don't know how to manage this unless I find a way to change my internal clock. I've been a night owl my entire life. It's almost 2 am as I am typing this. If I could simply go to bed earlier and wake up earlier, I might have a fighting chance. 

GOAL 3: Learn to say "no"

Maybe I should just strike "yes" and "how can I help" from my vocabulary? LOL!  Volunteering is in my heart. I can't help it and I don't apologize for it. We are called to serve one another.  

REAL ESTATE GOALS

GOAL 1: Time block my calendar

I made it to April with this goal. I despise time blocking, so that is an obstacle. I am going to try choosing a theme for each day in 2020. 

GOAL 2: Double my volume

Systems. Systems. Systems. It all boils down to that. I will increase my volume again this year, but I didn't double it. This will be a 2020 goal for sure. 

GOAL 3: Read at least one business/sales related book each quarter

DONE! I read four books already. I might squeeze another one before the end of the year.

Did you set goals for 2019? How are you doing?  

2018 Goals Review

I'm a bit behind with this. I did it in my mind, but it never made it to this blog. Whoops!

Before I set my goals for the new year, I review my progress from the year that has passed. I'm not someone who beats herself up about missing the mark, but I do use those moments to gauge how I can do better.

So here's what 2018 looked like for personal and real estate goals. You can check out the review of my writing goals here.

PERSONAL GOALS

GOAL 1: Daily Bible verse reading and prayer

I did much better in 2018 than I had in previous years. I've found if I read right when I get up or right before bed, I am much more successful. Having the YouVersion Bible App on my phone is a big help.

GOAL 2: Schedule days off in my calendar

This goal still needs a fair amount of work. I did pre-schedule days off. I just didn't honor a lot of them.

GOAL 3: Exercise three days a week

Never happened. I think I worked out four times in 2018. This must be a priority this year.

GOAL 4: Pamper myself once a quarter

Maybe not once a quarter, but I've made great progress. I spent more on clothes, got my nails done a few times, and made a point to go out to eat with friends more often.

REAL ESTATE GOALS

GOAL 1: Time block my calendar and add to Outlook 

This is such a hard thing for me. It's kind of like asking a panster to write book outlines. I hate it!!! That said, I am committing to it for 2019 to make the most of this year.

GOAL 2: Review Class Options and Sign Up

Goal met. Not usually an issue for me. I end up with more credits than I need because I'm a big supporter of the RAPV and because continuing to learn is important to me.

GOAL 3: List at least 5 more properties than I did in 2017

Well, I didn't list five more--guess I didn't realize how many I listed in 2017--but I did list two more. If I count the four properties I assisted on, then I can claim to have surpassed my goal. My number of sales stayed consistent and my volume went up, so it was a good year.

GOAL 4: Read at least one business-related book a quarter

I read two last year and started a third one before the year ended, so this was at least close.

How did your year go? Is there anything you're especially proud of?
