NOT COMPLETED. I picked a terrible month to try this goal out. Maybe later on, like in the summer, I would be more successful – but in the month of March, I didn’t have a single week where I was home before 8:00 p.m. on more than two days.

I think I’ll make this one of my resolutions next year. I liked having one big project or goal to work on each month, and putting lots of energy into mainly that goal. I’ll still be keeping my ongoing goals on my list as well, but having a monthly project is good for me for keeping focused, and allows me to change focus as my needs and circumstances change.
