Happy New Year!
This episode is not an interview with an educational leader. This episode is me reflecting on my year, the impact I made, the setbacks and success I experienced, and the lessons I learned.
One year ago I sat down with my Moleskine Journal and set a bunch of goals for 2023. One of the goals was to keep myself accountable by posting a podcast of me breaking down each goal on how I did. I set over 50 goals for 2023. Find out how I did. Perhaps you will be motivated to set some goals for yourself.
It is always difficult to hit the publish button on a blog, podcast, or post, but I always look at it from the perspective of an educator... to help others. If someone can benefit from my success or setbacks that is yet another benefit.
I do not post this podcast to brag or make excuses. I made it keep myself accountable. The process was actually quite humbling.
One of the goals of Wired Educator is to help people "level up to make a difference." Perhaps this episode will do that for others.
I tried my best to make this episode fun.
I'm a gig goal setter. I love it. I must admit though, I learned I set way too many goals. I made a ton of progress, but the finish line escaped me for many.
I also tried to share some of the tools and systems I use to set goals. I will post on www.kellycroy.com on that in the next few days.
I do believe I am going to make this an annual event. It was hard to admit that I didn't make the big three goals I set. That stung. Hopefully that will motivate me.
In this episode:
Moleskine Journal: If it’s worth writing down, put it in your Moleskine. Don’t use napkins, sticky notes, or scraps of paper. Put it where you can find it. This is the exact notebook I use as my day to day journal. I love absolutely everything about it. This is where I record my ideas and anything of importance. If you read my posts and hear me speak, you know how important a journal is to my lifestyle and productivity. I don’t go anywhere without my Moleskine.
