Thriving In Motherhood Podcast

Typically at the end of the year, when there is so much going on, I start to feel like I’m not seeing a lot of progress on my projects and goals.  This leads me to feel discouraged and want to give up - which is not an option when managing a household.  One thing I like to do when I notice this feeling creeping is to create a “Finish List” to create some momentum.  Dave Ramsey has a principle he calls the “debt snowball.” The idea is that if you have multiple lines of debt, you pay off the smallest amount of debt first to see some quick wins and stay committed to making progress.  This same principle can work with our projects!  Sit down and write a list of all the unfinished projects currently taking up brain space. Now evaluate that list and see if there are things you could knock out today or in a few hours.  Start to build momentum by seeing progress and watch how much you can accomplish in your small pockets of time before the end of the year (or not, if that stresses you out instead of motivating you).
