Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - April 4, 2023

Spring cleaning is a chance to hit the reset on your life. – Unknown

Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly.  It’s your masterpiece after all. – Nathan W. Morris

The first quarter of 2023 is complete!  What a crazy couple of months.  As usual for the author, not what the author planned, but it has been busy and good.

It is that wonderful time to examine the first quarter of 2023 and analyze the progress the reader has accomplished on their goals.  Here are some actions to take to determine progress so far this year:

1.      Review goals to see accomplishments for the first quarter of 2023.   

2.      Are the currently established 2023 goals still the appropriate direction for the reader?  Life happens and goals may need to be modified/revised/deleted based on the circumstances.

3.      With what has happened so far this year, are there new goals that should be established for the year?  Nine months is a lot of time to accomplish a new goal.

A little progress each day adds up to big results. - Unknown

As the author thought about today’s blog, she thought back to one of her favorite blog posts, which was posted on August 27, 2019.  The author wrote about how small changes can have a major impact on our lives. 

For example, what would happen if a plane traveling from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York had a slight change in heading by just 3.5 degrees while sitting on the runway?  Instead of landing in New York, the plane would land in Washington, D.C.  The change in heading does not seem that big at LAX; however, that small change has a drastic impact when flying across the country (Clear, 17).

ACTION:  Complete a quarterly review of 2023 goals and determine progress.  Think of 3 small changes that will have major impacts on your life by the end of the year.
