I am busy, busy, busy setting goals and getting my life organized. I’m anxious to share my list of goals with you, but I figured that this one item deserved a post all to itself!!

Remember last year when I decided to become a more motivated mom? I printed out a honkin’ calendar to keep me on track with my daily and weekly household chores so that my home wouldn’t fall apart. It really worked . . . when I followed it!! Then, I let the honkin’ calendar get buried under papers and my motivation slowly drained away. Out of sight, out of mind.

This year, as I perused the various sample calendars over at Motivated Moms I decided to go with the much more compact 2011 Motivated Moms Half-Size Chore Planner with Scheduled Bible Reading. Check out this week:

I was able to print the whole thing in 27 pages (2 weeks to a page), and then I used my husband’s office comb binder thingy to bind it. I decided to put my meal plan next to each date, and any special appointments go in the margin. I have a running shopping list at the very bottom of the page, and my daily Bible Reading (a one-year plan that I used when I’m not reading through the Bible in 90 Days) is in the box on the left.

Oh my goodness, ladies. This fits me so much better than the one I chose last year! Compact, short and sweet. I do wonder if I should have gone with the Full page version of the same calendar (52 pages and larger print with more room in the margins), but so far, I like this!

Do you need a little motivation for 2011? I know I do!!
