It has been a minute since I have posted. Last year one of my goals was to post at least every week and I did not meet that goal. The first part of the year was great! The second half of the year I ran into a lot of illness and found myself tired trying to manage everything. So of course this goal will remain for this year, but I have a new tool to assist me with this and all other areas of my life.
As 2014 closed out, I sat and wrote the following Facebook post: “As I sit in the last minutes of 2014, I contemplate how I am not where I wanted to be at but God continues to bless me and protect me. Then I looked up on my wall and I saw this saying.
It reminds me that I have the power to change my circumstances. There will be things that are out of my control, but I have control over how I let them affect me. There are some things that I have allowed to hold me back. Things that I have allowed to make me fearful and think less of myself. I am taking back my power and control. I will conquer the things that I need to and I will continue to move forward and succeed. I will have a new testimony in 2015!” I am geared up and ready to take on 2015, which brings me to my new tool.
Meet the Passion Planner! This is “An all-in-one weekly appointment calendar, journal, goal setting guide, to-do list, and gratitude log integrated in one planner” that was developed by young lady who was looking for a tool to assist her in accomplishing her goals. I found out about this tool from a post by one of my friends on Facebook. When I looked at the layout I fell in love! I literally carry a book with me that serves as a journal and place to write down anything I need. My schedule has been kept electronically and I did not have a specific place where I kept my goals. So to have one book that will include everything was mind blowing! My hard copy has not arrived yet, but the creator was kind enough to give access to the PDF version while waiting for the tangible item.
So today has been my 2015 planning day! I sat down and completed the Wish List and Passion Road Map for the first set of goals I want to accomplish. I then worked on revising my schedule to accommodate not only my daily activities, but also steps to reaching my goals. This year I will keep an electronic and paper copy of my schedule. Throughout the year I will post about using the Passion Planner and how it is assisting me in reaching my goals.
