Mental clutter is just as disruptive as physical clutter- sometimes even more! One of the ways that I try and prevent mental clutter, is by setting goals. I wanted to walk you through the process for setting goals for January. How I set my goals has been an evolving process, and will probably keep evolving as I do! Don’t miss my previous post “How to set Monthly goals an achieve them”.

The benefits of setting goals for January (or any month):

Watch this video by Rachel Hollis about goal setting- talk about motivation
Tips on setting goals:
- Learn about your personality
- Learning about your personality tremendously helps you figure out what systems work best for you.
- Being an Obliger (Gretchen Rubin’s 4 tendencies), I learned that having an accountability partner is magic for me- so I found one.
- We meet weekly (via zoom) to talk about how we did the previous week on our goals and what we are planning for the next week
- As an Enneagram 2 aka “The Helper” (The Road Back to You), I know that self care can easily go on the back burner. Also, as a 2, my instinct is to not ask for what I need. But both of these things- lack of self care and not expressing my needs, makes me feel resentful. And that is no fun for anyone!! So I build in self care and my needs into my goals.
- Set a calendar reminder or an alarm to go off monthly and weekly
- This is a must for me, or else I will forget
- Post your goals where you can see them
- Having a list of your goals where you see them every day is powerful
- My favorite way to do this is with a vision board
