August needs to be a month of productivity for me - my ordination interview is next month!
Speaking of productivity ... Last month I decided to assign myself "monthly goals". There are several habits that I really want to get into and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to implement them into my everyday life. I thought that maybe if I started with one goal a month, eventually those goals would become habits.
Last month my goal was to clean out Lilly's litter box every single day. I'm really good about changing out the litter once a week, but I wanted to get in the habit of scooping it every day. I started this goal about 1/3 of the way into the month and I found that it actually made my life much easier. When I went to change out the litter it took less time. The best part was that after a little over a week, it actually did become second nature. I have high hopes for this month (and beyond)!
This month my goal is to keep up with cleaning our bedroom and dealing with our laundry. I am really good about washing and drying the laundry - it's the folding and putting away / hanging up that I always seem to let slide. My bedroom floor is constantly piled high with clean laundry while my dresser drawers and closet racks sit empty.
I'm trying to start off the month strong, so I spent some time after church running some more loads, folding what was already done and putting away. Hopefully I will have the same zest for this goal in a few weeks (and remember to keep up with July's)! Wish me luck!
