Habit for the Month - January's Review

I talked about my habit for January in this post. In that post I decided on the following morning routine:

  • get dressed to shoes including hair and face
  • swish and swipe the bathroom
  • start the computer
  • start the coffee
  • start the washer
  • read/study Bible
It worked. I didn't keep track of how often I followed through and did the whole routine, but my guess is that probably 5 out of 7 days a week I did those 6 items. I have 7 mornings left in January and I am hoping to finish out the month with 7 out of 7 days completing that routine. Things that throw me off - being sick (me or one of the children), the weekend and DH being home. One thing I need to continue to enforce and work on is the children not getting up until I call them.

So, this should be a habit now. I will continue to get up around seven each morning, follow my morning routine and then get on with my day. Did you pick a habit for January? How did you do?
