My 2024 goal is to be present in the moment. In the past, I've focused on the larger picture and learned to think globally - and while that's not necessarily a bad thing - I'm working on making sure that I don't sacrifice the here and now. Learning from the small up's and down's and ensuring I'm recognizing my team both in the large moments, and in the small day-to-day/weekly moments will ensure strong team cohesion and that I personally stay grounded.

Here's wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024 to all of you in the Smartsheet Community!

Lets see for 2024 the goal I have given myself would be to set up a Smartsheet support team within my company. We have over 90,000 employees around the world and started using Smartsheet in July of 2022 but the push to use Smartsheet has only just begun.

My 2024 goal is to continue to learn Smartsheet and my motto is, "Don't find the fault, find the fix?" Wishing you each a very Happy New Year and here's to an amazing 2024!🙌

Happy 2024 to everyone in the Smartsheet Community. This year I hope to better find new ways to streamline and automate Smartsheets, Reporting and Dashboards so that there is little to no error or maintenance required. I hope to farm out more and train others on how to use the product so I can just be the creator and not the maintainer.

Happy New Year SmartSheet Community!

My overarching goal of 2024 is to manage my spare time more efficiently. Reflecting back on 2023, there were so many goals I had created for myself, but did not achieve because I did not manage my spare time effectively.

This year, I am set in stone with planning the things I would like to do using the SMART method, whether it is creating one SmartSheet solution per month, saving a certain amount of money per paycheck, or even trying a new baking recipe every other weekend. Being able to measure and monitor the activities I would like to pursue will help provide a sense of small achievements and as well as the ability to scale my bandwidth.

But with setting time management goals comes sacrificing less productive leisure activities such as spending time on social media or giving up specific shopping habits. Overall, the key is to remain consistent and resilient while tracking the progression!

Happy 2024! :)

My goal is to be BETTER at what I am best at, Process Improvement & Automation. Continue to learn additional skills to make myself a better asset to my team and allow myself to become better than I was yesterday EVERYDAY! Learn something new everyday!

Wishing everyone a Happy 2024!

Business/work goal: Smartsheet certifications (two lapsed), and save up for the Control Center training course

Personal: CONSISTENCY is my word this year. Why? Goals around this word are setting habits on what time I wake up during the work week, setting a breakfast/lunch time on calendar and honoring it. That last part is the kicker for me because I get so focused on something that I really do forget to eat.

Health: Start exercises that will help me walk steadier, which should help me in other ways.

In 2024 a goal I have set for myself is to get our smartsheets research leadership and service line dashboards automated and finalized!

With so many in my organization wanting information and metrics, I know that having this information at their fingertips is going to be transformational in how they work on and view research studies.

For 2024 I plan to get our leadership more involved with dashboard reporting. I also plan to get our C-Level dashboards leveled up for property management and construction.

My 2024 goal is to give up Starbucks. 8$ a day is just too much.

Happy New Year to this incredible community!

My goal for 2024 is improve and be more intentional and disciplined about the "bookends" to my day.

Refining my morning routine will set me up more effectively for the day ahead and finding opportunities to improve my end of day routine will aid the transition from "work me" to "personal me" and flow into what the morning routine the next day looks like.

Jen Lawson

My 2024 goal is improvement to time management and to continue learning new, innovative ideas, that I can use in both my career and personal life.

I also want to improve my sleep habits! :)

Bring it on 2024🥂!

My goal for 2024 is more work life balance⚖️. I put my heart ❤️and soul into my job, my family👨‍👨‍👦, and my friends. During my days🌞, I need to carve out more time for myself. I need to put away the electronics, decompress, schedule⌚️ more time in each day for me. Read a book📗, enjoy my hobbies✂️, exercise🏋️‍♀️, eat well🍎, take more vacations✈️ and dance without a care🤸‍♀️. Life will pass you by in a split second if you don't stop to "smell the roses🌹". During my work hours, I will refine my processes to make my day smoother and more automated📊. Teach others how to use the tools🛠️ and spread the joy and ease their day. Baby steps👶 towards a more peaceful mix of giving and receiving pieces of me.

Blessed and Thankful!🙏

My focus for 2024 is to do more for me. More time in nature, more photography, more movement.
