EP358// Purposeful Living: Setting Meaningful Goals For The Next Season

How is your summer going? Are you enjoying it?  The second quarter of the year is now over and it’s the perfect time to re-evaluate your goals.  The summer is a great time to look back on the last two quarters, the goals you established for the new year, and to look forward to the next two quarters.  Summer tends to be a bit more relaxed in our schedules, so it lends itself to reflection.  Whether that be reflection on a flight, as you drive to a destination, by the neighborhood pool while your kids play, or getting a few uninterrupted moments in your morning.  Well today we are going to plan together!  We will take a look back and a look forward, as we check in with our goals for 2024.  If you are listening in traffic or on a walk or are unable to engage and write notes, just listen in!  Let’s get started!
I pray this blesses you!MichellePS. If you need some extra accountability or help with productivity hacks, time management tools, mapping out a more efficient daily or weekly schedule, time blocking and so much more. We will break down what isn’t working in your schedule, create new personalized goals for you, and determine the next new steps you need to take to have more freedom and live with more joy and laughter!  Grab a coaching call with me at:Email: contact@byrdmichelle.comwebsite: www.byrdmichelle.comFree Productivity Planner - my gift to you!

MayCember is crazy and then we get dropped into summer.  It takes awhile to adjust and relax into a new schedule.  Once things settle down, and we all settle into a more relaxed schedule our kids start whining that they are bored.  Do you have that problem too? My son actually wrote his own list of 130 things to do when he was bored.  He wrote them on several pieces of paper and then taped them to his wall in a long line.  Mind you some of them were “ask mom when we can play video games” “ask dad when we can play video games” “annoy my sister” etc.  This was a great idea and a helpful list at times. In this episode today we will cover our top ten boredom busters.  Hopefully these will give you some ideas of fun tech free activities your kids will enjoy!
