Monday Motivation~ 5 minutes to get you organized for a successful week to meet your goals and get things done

 

DO NOT GIVE UP. 

2 Corinthians 15:7 tells us.... But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 

But what are some ways you can stay focused, resilient? We all work hard, we want to see the reward for that work. It's so easy to get overwhelmed and feel like you are not making progress. Keeping your goal in front of you, and tracking your progress is key to keeping motivated. Here are some ideas to help you. 

MAKE PLANS AND SET GOALS

Detail out your goals, write them down, literally. Write out your long-term, end game, goal. Where are you trying to get to? What are you trying to accomplish? Write it down, and put it where you see it often.  Then break down this large goal into smaller, shorter-term goals. Now you have a place to start. 

Work on your plan. Break it down into plans for the week, and plans for the month. Again, I  would suggest you actually write it out. You may want to get a notebook or keep a planner dedication to your goal! 

GET ORGANIZED

 I find it helpful to block out my days. Assigning a block of time to each of the things I want to accomplish that day. I refer back to my plan throughout the week to keep me on track to meet my goals. I also write down my goals for the month, for things I may only need to tend to once or twice a month, and then schedule those out to fit into my weekly schedule. 

As the verse states, DON'T GIVE UP. Find your passion and stay steadfast in your pursuit of it and your hard work WILL pay off.  You have to talk the talk and walk the walk if you want to succeed. Keep this verse in mind as you work through your week. Let me know what are some goals you want to reach this week that is working you towards your main goal?
