Every year, we start our year by making a list of the ten things we want to do differently. We tell each other what those goals are and try to hold each other accountable. Last year, we shared these goals on the blog so that we could come back and see how many we accomplished, how many we are still working on and how many we gave up on and why. Yesterday, we went through the goals to see how we did and couldn’t wait to share it all with you. Plus, we are sharing our 2020 goals.
