This week on the podcast, we're doing a mini series on goal setting. Each day, we've been focusing on a topic surrounding setting goals

as a married couple. So today is the last day, day three. And today's topic is how to track

goals together to make sure that you're being effective. So Dr. Kim, how should we do this? Why, why should

we even track our goals to start? I think it's like anything. Like if someone's got a business and they

set goals like at the first year or every quarter or something like that, there's always a time to

evaluate. There's always some markers that you set, say, are we meeting our goals? Do we need

to make adjustments? Those kind of things. I think the same thing applies for us in marriage.

If we're going to set goals together as a couple and we're both working on them, we're

being intentional about it, we need to have times when we check in.

Where are we on this?

Especially in the area, I like to say, well, you always talk about finances, but, you know, if you're trying this, you've got some debt and you said, we're going to say we're going to pay this off in two years and you've got a plan to do that.

Well, so maybe every quarter, every six months, you're going to look at that.

Are we on track or what we want to go?

Because if we're not, were we unrealistic about paying it off in two years?

Do we stretch it out to three years or can we we've got some extra money can we pay off faster so i think you

want to continue to evaluate our goals because if you go say you're going to do something in a few months

and you don't evaluate it you don't kind of see where you are on it you may come in that time

and haven't made adjustments haven't kept on track and then you get frustrated because we didn't meet
