january goals.

January2012

I realized last fall that year long goals are not my favorite. While I adore to-do lists and find that writing goals down helps me get stuff done, it's hard to figure out at the beginning of the year what is still going to be relevant by the end of the year.

So this year, instead of ambitious year long plans, I am going to set manageable goals at the beginning of each month and do my best to get through them in 30 days. This is what I am choosing to commit to in January. My new oven was installed and I finished the last few couch cushions yesterday, so that's a start...

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
