First of The Month

Intentional Objectives

It’s the first day of February today, I feel great! Up at 5 AM, doing my morning stretch routine, meditating, writing in the 5 Minute Journal, drinking two glasses of H20 and sipping piping hot green tea (of course).

Before diving head on into my work, I decided a new monthly routine (I started back in January) would help me stay focused on accomplishing what’s most important. I keep a whiteboard in my home office/entertainment room, I don’t use it for much other than listing out high impact objectives each month.

The goal is to find at least 3 achievable but challenging objectives to help me maintain my focus. Here’s an example of what my top objectives in February are:

  • Develop 3 e-commerce templates
  • Showcase templates in portfolio and solicit work
  • Land 1 paid freelance project
  • Add 1 new contact to my network daily

The goal here is to not write out all the details upfront, write down the end goal, and later sort out the details. As for writing out the details I use Notion or just a plain old fashioned notebook, getting the pathway down on paper is an important step which I will cover some other time. For now, it’s crunch time!
