3 in 30

Have you made your New Year's Resolutions for 2011?

• Does this simple question completely shut you down? 
• Do you feel you have to come up with yet another new set of resolutions; that maybe, you may or may not be able to fulfill? 
• Does it ever leave you feeling like a failure when you keep listing the same things year after year? 

Well, my answer to all the above questions is a resounding YES.  Take note, you are not alone.  But, there is hope...

 3 In 30 - Making Goals Reality 3 At A Time

3 in 30 is a joint-venture between Meghan Tucker {The Tuckers Take Tennessee} and Ashley Pichea {AP Freewriting}, overflowing from our own accountability relationship. We want to encourage and challenge you to accomplish your goals!

As lovers of lists, we've found that our lists can often be overwhelming to the point of not successfully attaining any of our goals. So we've decided to team up to keep each other accountable, and we want you to join us!

Let's break down our lists into bite-sized chunks, and let's check up on each other over the course of a month. Together we can accomplish our goals!

It takes 21 days to create new habits. Each month (approximately each 30 days) we'll start fresh with no more than 3 goals we want to work on. Throughout the month we'll provide weekly link-ups and opportunities for daily encouragement and accountability.

Here is how we'll do it:

• Grab a button and put it somewhere on your blog. (Include this button in your weekly update posts, too!)
• Add a twibbon to your Twitter profile picture.
• Brainstorm and make a list of three attainable goals for the month of January. {We will take it month by month, so only pick three for this month, and then we'll move on in February and come up with three more.}
• Throughout the week, check in with us on Twitter using the hashtag #3in30. 
• There will be a weekly link-up on each of our blogs for you to link up your posts about your progress. This will be used for the rest of us to come and visit, read how you're doing, encourage, and support you.

When will the link-up be? Every Friday at midnight CST.

Be as creative as you'd like with your posts. Ask yourself these questions: (1) What are my goals for this month? (2) What have I done this week to get closer to meeting my goal? (3) Have I taken some time to get to know the others involved in this challenge? If so, who have you enjoyed visiting their blog and getting to know? (4) Post pictures if you'd like!

So, start brainstorming - come January 1st it's on! We'll be encouraging each other, making new friends, and accomplishing our goals all at the same time.

We are so excited and cannot wait for you to join us!
