In January I shared my goals for the year along with a promise to provide an update of my monthly breakdown at the beginning of each month.  So far, I’m off to a great start and can see a great benefit to having yearly, monthly, and weekly goals.  It makes projects feel so much more achieveable!  Here’s my February update.
