The beginning of a new month is always such an exhilarating moment, but also a dreaded reminder that I did not accomplish half the task on my last month’s to-do list.
Since then, I have set up systems to take the chaos out of the month so I can be super productive without the guilt of reviewing my last month’s calendar to see I have accomplished little.
These six things will help you stay organized and ultra-productive so that you’re excited about your previous months’ growth at the end of the month.
Set Spiritual Goals At The Beginning Of The Month
As long as I breathe, I will live in communion with God.
And at the beginning of each month ( more like each day ), I like to overlook to see where I could have grown, whether it is intellectually or emotionally.
As time and busy schedules overwhelm us, it is natural to pull away from God and focus all your energy on building and sustaining that self-sufficient relationship without God.
To leverage your relationship with God, it’s super important to sit down and ask God for tips and tricks on growing and flourishing in your walk and obedience to him.
Set Life Goals At The Beginning Of The Month
Set realistic and measurable goals for your life at the beginning of each month.
Each month represents another opportunity to scale and aim higher in your personal life and professionally.
Jot down some of the things you would like to accomplish within this month and set applicable steps you must need to achieve those goals.
Family: As a busy entrepreneur, it’s sometimes natural to push your family and relationships to the back of your life while you scale your business.
And throughout this journey, I have had plenty of months where I am nose deep into planning content and booking coaching sessions that I overlook my family.
Setting goals and creating that space for your family will keep you from being a slave to your job.
Health: Set up a fitness + health routine for the month.
As we dive back into our routine, getting back on a health and fitness schedule will keep you strong and healthy.
Create A Self Care Routine
Each month you should crave and create time to decompress.
Not only is it vital for your business (or corporate America job), but it’s vital for your sanity.
Add days that you would like to focus on yourself to watch Netflix or enjoy life without the hustle and bustle.
Learn Something New- Improve A Skill Set
Each month allows you to learn a new technique or invest in something to help grow you or your brand. Ultimately, this will elevate stagnation within your personal or business life.
