Stamina / 2015 Goals

I'm a quitter. I always have been. Even when I was a kid, I would start new things- soccer, art class, piano, voice, track- then lose interest and quit them.

I love starting new things. I have passion and energy about new ideas, but I'm not great at the follow through.

I want to follow through. I want to accomplish things other than binge-watching sitcoms. I mean yes, I'm raising and educating the kids, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I have some free time now.

Some of my friends have been choosing a word for 2015, and I think Stamina would be my word. I want to develop stamina.

How does one do that?

How do you set goals and them accomplish them?

I have a few general goals for this year. Things I want to do. But I need help shaping them and following through.

Please share your tips for developing goals and attaining them.

Here's what I have so far...

Goals for 2015:

  • Finish sewing the girls' quilts and sew a quilt for my friend's baby before he outgrows it
  • Complete the reading for my Bible study every day
  • Find a new Bible study to participate in when mine ends in June
  • Read at least 24 books this year
  • Exercise 2-3 times per week all year long
  • Find someone to be my exercise partner and hold me accountable
  • Publish a blog post at least two times per month
  • Finish my 2014 photo book

  1. So, I'm terrible at writing "goals" but instead make a year long "to do list" and call it a list of goals! I think you've got a pretty good list going...you're actually putting habits into place, which is awesome!

    I post my goals on my blog too, and then get so excited when I can cross something off :)

  2. Vanessa, I am super impressed by your list of goals! I like how you have them broken down into categories! I might have to do that. Thanks for sharing!
