At the beginning of the month I set myself some goals for 2015. The mistake I have made in previous years is not revisiting the goals often enough. They then slip to the back of my mind and sometimes get forgotten about completely. I am guessing I am not on my own.
So a month in, how am I doing? As I explained some of my goals are long term, to be achieved at some point in the year, but I do need to be making progress towards them. Let me recap;
Personal Goals
- Find a better work life balance – Sadly there has been no progress on this front so far. Working hard to give myself breathing space.
- Continue to beat PND – I am doing a few things, which are helping me to stay in a good place.
- Meet up with friends more – I am doing quite well on this and have had some fun times with friends this month.
- Reach my target weight – Not at target, but I am doing well, so hopefully it will be my year!
- Become proficient in French – I have made no progress at all with this. I haven’t even put the CD in the computer….. pas bon.
Home Life Goals
- Organise our clutter – I have made a start! It really does make a difference to your attitude too.
- Sell/Re-home all Baby’s unwanted things – oops nothing has happened here, I must focus on this in February.
- Implement a cleaning schedule – We have talked about it…..does that count….?
- Spend more screen free time with Hubby – I have just had a whole week with Hubby on holiday, so successful so far.
- Have a night out – not yet, but I am hopeful.
Blogging Goals
- Make blogging a viable career – I have now started as a freelance professional blogger. January has been promising with lots of new connections.
- Increase my blog subscribers – This number is ticking up nicely and I have a plan to help increase this, I just need a little time.
- Improve my use of Pinterest – Ah, still not pinned so many of my posts…..
- Get involved with my US peers – I have joined a primarily US Facebook bloggers group.
- Increase followers on all my social networks – These are steadily increasing.
- Vlog more – I have plans for one, which I think will go live next week.
- Secure regular advertising – not focused any efforts here so far.
- Work S.M.A.R.T.E.R – T.R.Y.I.N.G
- More collaboration – I have LOTS of plans and there are a few interesting projects in discussion at the moment.
So overall, after only 4 weeks I am happy with what I have achieved towards my goals. Sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball and could look into the future (even just to the end of the year) to see if I manage to achieve all of them. I have even thought about consulting The Circle Free Horoscopes to see if they can shed any light on what I should be doing over the next few weeks and what might be on the horizon for me.
Have you set any goals for this year? Do you read horoscopes?
