Day 5 - First Week Review

You made it to Day 5! Today we will review what has been covered, I will give you a few tips, and offer a couple gentle reminders.

I would also like to ask that you share with me how you are progressing through each day, if you have had an "Aha!" moment, or if you are lost and need help. There is a comment section on each post just for this purpose!  

Ok, let us jump into the review!

General overview/Defining your KEY

You haven't had an opportunity to use the symbols in the key, but that is about to change on Day 8.  

Create Your Index

Hopefully, you have numbered every page in your journal, and if you stopped before the end, use today to complete the page numbers. There should only be a few entries here, including the Key, Index, and Year-at-a-Glance pages. If you opted to create a detailed Special Event page, then that page should also appear in the Index.  

Year-at-a-glance

This was a big topic area. The easiest way to cruise through this topic area comfortably is to select a sample from the Pinterest Board and copy it. You will have made a choice on the number of months you wanted to track, along with other personal touches like the font and colors you used for your title, and if you opted to include the annual goals on this page. 

Yearly Goals

I gave you guidance on how to create goals using the "SMART" method and shared other key factors you should consider when setting them. Remember: "A goal without a plan is just a wish. A year without goals is just a waste."

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
