Achieving goals & experimenting with style - Journal pages
More journal pages... No space untouched and jamming as much in as I can! The days here include friendly strangers, experimenting with style and achieving goals, plus a bunch of working, teaching and new jars of Vegemite. All good things!


The pic of the gal (bottom left) is from Metro Magazine - cute outfit which I set about duplicating. First time I have done this and it was fun to find pieces and making a look work on me. Try it!

I also set myself about 6 goals for the month. I got closer on all (progress) and when I could see I wasn't going to make it with them all, I kept working at them all but focused on making sure I achieved ONE. Encouraged by the achievement I made more goals for this month, 12 actually - this time using the same ratio I expect to achieve two then add one for improvement!

I get that I could just set 3 goals and achieve 3 of 3 but I want progress in all these areas, I feel like this way I acknowledge them, define then and make a plan for achievement. Even if the reality of the time line is longer than I hope for. Also if I was aiming for perfection, then perhaps I would be inclined to set goals that didn't truly challenge - and if its not a challenge, is it really a worthwhile goal? and instead just a task?

I have lots of ideas on goal setting, I'd love to hear yours.
In goal making and achieving, what works for you?
