Submit two articles for publication.
Write some content that can be sold for passive income (kindle, digital downloads, etc.)
Redesign my website.
Set up a better CRM software.

I just want to make it through January. Last month Dad moved to assisted living and Mom into full care nursing at same site. I need to understand system at facility and work with attorney to get best financial outcome! I'm also proctoring LSAT every Saturday in the month!
February - have everyone on somewhat of a routine and find a little me time! Also hoping to attend TEC15.
March - goal is to get brother to have a visit scheduled.
At the end of 90 days review progress and set new goals.

I well remember the days of caregiving for my parents. That does indeed suck up a great deal of time and emotional energy. Something like that certainly does need to be the priority!

My work-related goal this year is to begin a Masters in corporate governance. That will be three years of hard graft on top of working.

Atlanta, I do feel for you and the situation with your parents. I was my late Mother's main carer for the last five years of her life. It is not easy when you, the child, becomes the parent to your parent(s). Caring for one's elders, however much one adores them, can be challenging, but I treasure the time I spent with my Mother, particularly her last months - such precious memories. I wish you well. x

Wow - you are doing so well. Keeping an interesting eye on your canning projects for ideas!
There is one thing I would really like to get finished for the winter and that is a rag rug I started - to go in front of my Aga - but I can't see it happening, too many dog and music things taking up time at the moment along with work and ordinary home life stuff.

Last month of 2015! Not much time left to accomplish goals, but it's not too late to start if you have let the time slip away!!!
I have had a super successful year by being very focused this year and almost tripled my income from my side business. It is so worth it to invest time in setting goals for yourself and then following through on them! I'll be posting a 2016 goal list soon and I hope and encourage others to jump in and join me with their own goals!!!
