I've broken down the things that are important to me (or important that I do) into 6 areas. I have personal, marriage, mothering, home management, ministry (which for me includes my extended family), and fun. I got these basically verbatim from Money Saving Mom, if you're interested in what she has said about them. She also has a printable you can use if you're into that sort of thing :).
To break them down a bit more, here's what they entail:
Personal: spiritual disciplines, my relationship with God, exercise (I consider it not only vital to my health, but also my mood and outlook tend to be much better when I've gotten some exercise in)
Marriage: Don't expect to see too much posted on this as it is a bit private. I do plan on restarting my goal of weekly at home dates.
Mothering: Basically anything I can think of to help me be a better mother, anything from activities to Bible verses to help me through my day.
Home Management: Another self-explanitory category. Will include cleaning, decorating, finances, anything to do with running my house.
Ministry: I want this one to be ways that I can specifically get myself to find ways to minister to those around me each week. Too often we are guilty of thinking about doing something and then never getting around to it. Ideally, this will rid me of that excuse.
Fun: A way for me to still dabble in projects but hopefully get me to finish them at the same time. I have some serious trouble when it comes to finishing what I start, so maybe that will keep me on track.
As I said, I'm still working on the goals within these categories. I'll post them in a few days, but first up (hopefully tomorrow) I want to focus on things that are NOT on my list of things to do right now. This is another idea I got from the Money Saving Mom website, and I'll link the specific page in the post. (Honestly, right now I need to be getting to bed, so goodnight!)
