Goals Using Cultivate What Matters #PowerSheets

โ€œThe trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.โ€
— โ€“Bill Copeland

A bit of a confession:

Iโ€™m a survivor of clinical and chronic depression. As such, there was a time in my life where I refused to live by goals. It was in reaction to having lived a life as an overachiever with many goals growing up and then getting crushed by the reality of life. To be fair, I had untreated anxiety, probably going back to elementary school, and untreated depression to early high school years.

Itโ€™s only since 2020 and using the Cultivate What Matters Powersheets Intentional Goal Planner that Iโ€™ve begun to embrace goals again and do so in a realistic way that allows for imperfection and slow growth.

Please allow me to share my March goals and how Iโ€™m using my #Powersheets to make (little-by-little) progress!

6-Month Powersheets Undated Goal Planners

I love my Cultivate What Matters Powersheets Intentional Goal Planner!

If you havenโ€™t purchased a planner yet and are curious, keep reading. Why? Because 6-Month Undated Planners are available!!!

I have started talking about my planner so much that I thought I better make it worth my while, so I applied to be an affiliate for the Lara CaseyMedia/Cultivate Shop!

Last year I chose to use the floral (Citrus Garden) style cover Powersheets Goal Planner. This year, I chose the blue (Clear Skies) one.

In fact, I actually purchased a bundle when the 2021 Collection was released. I chose to get the Custom bundle, and you can still purchase a Custom Six-Month Powersheets Bundle and save between $19-$25!

Using Color-Coding Markers

Iโ€™ve received compliments about how colorful my writing is in my planner this year. It took me a few months, but I finally ordered the color-coding marker set. These do not disappoint!

Each color corresponds to a different yearly goal, and then I use the same color for each monthly mini-goal that relates to that particular yearly goal.

Itโ€™s helpful to keep track of what goals are being tended to and which ones are getting more or less attention.

โ€œI think purchasing these Color-Coding Markers was one of the best purchases I made for the planner!โ€

Look how beautiful it is to write with these babies!

Last year I just used my gel pens with my planner. The problem with that is the pens would dry out, and then trying to color-code was impossible as the colors wouldnโ€™t match.

I think purchasing these markers was one of the best purchases I made for the planner!

Month in Review

(always on the back of the monthโ€™s tending list)

People Iโ€™m grateful for and why:

  1. Kim: She is the sweetest and the most supportive of my endeavors, especially my business. I miss seeing her. Itโ€™s been so long due to the pandemic!

  2. Jackie: Sheโ€™s a great sister-in-law. I appreciate her love, acceptance, and her generous spirit.

    We can never take the people we love for granted!

Good Things this Month:

Lovely Romantic Valentineโ€™s Dinner plus a movie at home.

Goals that are going well:

As you know from last month, it was one of my goals to organize under the bathroom sink. I did do research but havenโ€™t ordered the products yet. I plan to finish this task in March. Then in April, I can begin the Kitchen island cabinets! Also, my husbandโ€™s office area needs organizing, which needs to be added to the list.
