Our Goals for This Year – Episode 86

January 02, 2019

New year, new datebook— and some very familiar goals. But this is the year we make things HAPPEN. We’re going to start by taking Jon Acuff’s advice to make our goals smaller- we mean absurdly achievable- and build from there. Acuff studied goal-setting and found that

People with smaller goals are 63% more successful. Go big might be a good slogan for a gym wall, but if you really want to win, go small.

In this episode we discuss our goals for the coming year, including:

* Margaret’s “most massive purge” of her home
* Amy’s word for 2019: OPEN
* facing our fears
* engaging less with our kids when they’re being arbitrarily cranky and challenging
* becoming more curious about our spouses’ perspectives
* entertaining more
* reading more fiction

What are your goals for the coming year? Tell us!
