Rock Your Monday!

Monday, May 9th, 2011

As another week begins, I’m becoming more aware of how I need to make my time more productive and accomplish my goals even if they’re small. I read this amazing article on how to set smart daily goals and it really helps me think about how I want to use my time in a different way.

Here’s a question I borrowed: What is the one BIG thing you want to accomplish today? (Don’t let excuses get in your way!)

My Answer: I’m going to talk to the admission counselor about enrolling in the graphic design program and taking courses to pursue my passion further. That’s it.

What about you?

One day, I’m going to live somewhere in Paris, surrounded by cute little cafes like this to go have breakfast in the morning!You know I can’t resist cute couples who are stylish together!Aren’t those rings amazing!
