These posts have quickly become one of my favorite things to create. I love the accountability it creates for myself, the lessons learned–sinking even deeper when I take the time to articulate them– and the joy of seeing all that was accomplished in the last month. February was the busiest month I’ve had since moving to DC a year ago. It was also the one that was most outside my comfort zone, but felt the most productive and accomplished. I made huge progress on all of my February goals, despite being sick for a week and adopting a kitten. Let’s take a look back at February before we look at March 2020 goals.
February goals Goals – 14 out of 18 completely complete!

What are your March 2020 goals?
To be honest, mine don’t feel like a lot. I thought about adding some new things in just to keep it exciting and fresh, but that defeats the whole purpose of mapping out what’s important to me at the beginning of the year. I’m also learning that it’s good to have margin. Maybe this month I’ll get more reading in! Not to mention taxes. How about you? What are your March 2020 goals?
