When we as mothers at home try to do that, we are rather at a loss. We might not even know how many children we’ll have in 5 years. If your oldest is 5, you’re not likely to accurately foresee what it’s like to have a 10 year old – and the same is true if your oldest is 10 and you’re trying to predict 15.<br> <br> <br> <br> We have to put one foot in front of the other where we are, and not get too wrapped up in predictions and visions. We should have a general direction, but we don’t know how that will play out.<br> <br> <br> <br> Rather than try to shoot for some 5-year outcome, we should have a general purpose and direction (this comes by knowing your vocations) and then make a short-term plan.<br> <br> <br> <br> Make a plan that is only 6-12 weeks in breadth. We can work toward ends in a chunk that small. The ends might not be as exciting as a grand 5-year vision, but that’s because it’s actually realistic – looking at that shorter amount of time allows you to make smart and meaningful choices about what’s best to do next.<br> <br> <br> <br> We can grow and develop and mature and become better at fulfilling our duties, but it will take time and effort.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read the original post here:<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.simplifiedorganization.com/2015/interval-growth/">Interval Planning for Growth</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Make your goals manageable.
