Priority & Balance

Ms. Single Mom, the year is already off to a flying start!

We are halfway through the 2nd week of February... where is the time going?! In January I talked about goals, you were to make a list of goals to accomplish in 2010, and then we both should have revised our lists.

This month we'll determine and organize priorities.

1. Focus and decide what's most important when it's ALL important.
2. Realize that it's only so much time to work with in a day... you have barely 24 hours and your responsibilities usually require double that amount of time!
3. Work to balance what you have to do for yourself, what you have to do for your child(ren), and what you have to do for your employer (if you work).

I'll share more ideas in the next post... and I always appreciate your feedback!!

Goal Tending pt.3

Ms. Single Mom,

Try this suggestion: Do some really good planning and invest a little hard work so that you can experience prosperty. We all try to find a few extra minutes in the day, or to shave a few minutes off here and there in order to get things done because it doesn't seem to ever be enough time in an hour anymore.



This is the fourth week of our New Year. Revisit your Goals List. Make some changes if needed so that you have a realistic list and give yourself a fair chance to achieve your desired goals. Be careful though because if we take hasty shortcuts that usually leads to poverty in one way or another. Lazy people want much but get little in return.

Goal Tending pt. 2

Single Moms, we are already more than halfway through the first month of this new year. I have decided to use a few minutes today to review my List of 2010 Goals. As I look over my list I am absolutely determined that I will win in 2010.

Ms. Single Mom, I believe that it is critically important for all of you to have that attitude about yourself, and about your life. Your world is going to feed off of your positive and determined energy.

You will succeed this year because You Can!

Goal Tending

Ms.Single Mom, don't be nervous about the idea of starting the New Year off setting goals for yourself. The secret to achieving goals is getting started.

Make a list of five goals and then work on them, one goal at a time or if you're more aggressive then you can work on them all simultaneously. To avoid becoming overwhelmed, keep it simple. Your list can be as simple as:

1. Have your small child in bed everynight by 8:30p.m.


2. Find 30 minutes at least 3 times a week to exercise.


3. Go through your stacks of clutter & throw out old papers that you no longer need.


4. Return all phone calls within 48 hours.


5. Ask for help when you need it!

You will score a slam dunk and succeed in accomplishing your goals if you check your list regularly and make sure you're not slipping behind on any one of them.

Are You Ready to Goal?

Happy New Year Single Moms!

I am extremely thankful for our safe passage through 2009, and I have already claimed a victorious 2010!! Are you excited yet? It's a brand new year, so let's get ready to goal.

This is when we should take time to reflect on what was accomplished during the past year. Now, shift your focus to what needs to be accomplished in the year ahead. Create a list of realistic goals for yourself. Begin to adjust your mental, physical, and emotional attitude so that you can achieve. Balance yourself, take one step at a time, stay focused... You Can Do This!
