Goal Setting Made Simple: A Ministry Mom’s Guide to 90-Day Planning

As moms in ministry, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities – from church duties to family life and everything in between. The key to managing it all? Effective planning and goal setting. In this episode of Moms in Ministry, we dive deep into practical strategies that will help you create a manageable and successful 90-day action plan.

The Power of Smart Goal Setting

We believe in setting SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This framework helps ensure your goals aren’t just wishes, but actionable plans you can actually accomplish.

Why 90-Day Planning Works

Instead of creating overwhelming year-long plans, we advocate for 90-day action plans. This shorter timeframe allows you to:

• Evaluate progress more frequently
• Adjust goals as needed
• Stay motivated with achievable milestones
• Maintain flexibility in your planning

Calendar Management: Your Secret Weapon

One of the most transformative tools we discuss is effective calendar management. Whether you prefer digital or paper planning, the key is consistency and accessibility. Remember our motto: “If it’s not on the calendar, it’s not real!”
