Happy New Year everybody!
I had such high hopes for December, I was going to do one
post per day, my content was going to be fabulous, gift ideas, make up looks,
last minute present ideas, another Lipstick Love post as well as a post about my
pre-Christmas trip to London.
Unfortunately the madness of December took over and I managed to publish
precisely zero blog posts. Yes, that’s
right. None. To be fair some of them are still sitting in my
Drafts folder in a very basic format waiting to be properly written, alas this
was as far as I got.
As it’s now 2017 obviously I started thinking about
resolutions just like everyone else but then I thought I prefer the word Goals
to Resolutions. For a start I always
manage to break my resolutions but it occurred to me that I might just stick to
a goal, it’s something to work towards isn’t it? I also think it’s a nicer word! So I bought myself a brand new pink Pukka Pad
Project book (any excuse to buy new stationery) and started writing. Here are some of my 2017 goals.
Goal 1 – Grow my Avon business
Goal 2 – Get rid of all the shoes I don’t wear (particularly
the ones that rub my feet!)
Goal 3 – Sort out my utility/laundry room
Goal 4 – Lose half a stone and increase my pilates classes
Goal 5 – Read all the links I’ve saved on Facebook (saved to
read later but never did)
Goal 6 – Increase traffic to my blog
Goal 7 – Start to research my e-book
Goal 8 – Start a Newsletter (need to get to grips with MailChimp)
They are a mixture of personal and business and blog
goals. I nearly put “stop shouting at
the kids” but given that they drive me nuts daily I suspect this will not last
so I’m not writing it down! The e-book
is something I have been thinking about for over a year and this year I’ve decided
to start to research how to go about it.
If I manage to do that then I’ll extend the goal to start the actual
writing but let’s not bite off more than we can chew, after all it’s only the
third day of January. I want to lose
half a stone so that my clothes feel comfortable and I want to increase my
pilates classes to three as it really helps my hamstrings and my tense
shoulders. I also really want to read
all those links I’ve saved. How often to
you scroll through FB and come across a great article or post and click “save
to read later” and then never get round to reading them? To be fair, Facebook does periodically ping up
a reminder telling me what I’ve saved so I really should take notice of it.
All in all, I’m pretty sure these goals are at least fairly attainable and that I won’t
get to the end of January and give up thinking “what were you on when you
decided this?”. One goal that’s not on
there is to be more organised but thinking about it I will have to be organised
to do all of this alongside all the other daily demands so it pretty much goes
without saying.
I'd love to know what your goals are, I'll let you know how I'm getting on half way through the year.
