Setting goals for April

I feel like February and March kind of flew by.  I know that I have been sick, but I also feel like I have been busy.  The problem is that I am not sure exactly what I was busy with.  There’s all the daily things that have to do with life in general, but this is the first time in awhile where the fruits of my labor are not really tangible.

This is why I’ve decided that it is time to set some general goals for April.   It’s going to be more like a long list, but I need to start somewhere, so here goes!

  1. Get taxes done.  I bet that I get this one done before the end of the month!
  2. Figure out general game plan for the finances.
  3. Get a job?!
  4. Decide what do to about kid’s preschool.  This is kind of a big deal - it seems so weird to deal with this months ahead of time, but that’s life these days!
  5. Blog development
    1. Get more on About Me page.
    2. Approach for Entrecard - I have some new ideas on this one.
    3. I really want to start reviewing some books and products (I’ve been really impressed with my kid’s Brio trains, for example).  I’m not really trying to sell anything, but would like to share some of my personal recommendations without being too forward.
    4. Get ahead on posts.  I really want to have some content written ahead of time so that I can post on a more regular schedule.
  6.  Simplify more - we’re working hard on this one.  I really need to make more of an effort in the “getting rid of crap” department.  Our problem is that we want to recycle as much as possible (ie. sell on Ebay, get rid of on Freecycle, etc.), but these things take time and effort.  Time to buck up!
  7. Spend some real quality time with family on the weekends - we’re not traveling this month (to my knowledge), and we’ve spent the past couple of weekends sick or just trying to catch up.  I want to make a little list of places we can go hiking in the local area, and maybe even go camping one weekend!

What are some of your goals for April?  Whether it is personal or professional, I think it is always good to be moving towards something.  When I finished school in January, such a large weight had been lifted from my shoulders.  I think that I deserved a little break, but now I need to regain some focus.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

    One of mine was to get taxes done also. In fact I just finished. One down and the rest to go.
    And I just tagged you.

    I’m finished, but am giving myself one more day before filing to make sure that I didn’t forget anything. Thanks for the tag!

    What a great idea to put your goals up on your blog. Many of my goals are similar to yours such as spending more time with family and getting rid of crap. I need to clean my closet and file cabinet.
