August is only ten days in and I feel like a lot has already happened – some good, some bad. This past month I haven’t been very organized which has caused my life to feel chaotic. I’m hoping to get back on track now. Here are my goals for this August.
The months are going by like a blur. This month I want to try to be more present. That way I might get everything done. Here are my goals for this month.
Spring is now over! Here is a recap of my Spring bucket list.
Try a new coffee shop
I did try a new coffee shop during this time, and I loved it! It was called the Coffee Place, and I do plan on going there again. I didn’t drink coffee that day, but their London fog tea was delicious.
Try Dunkin Donuts
I finally tried Dunkin and I loved it! I’ve been four times in the last month. I haven’t tried but one of their coffee, but their ice matcha latte is the best thing ever. If you have any favorite coffee orders from dunkin please comment on this post.
Renew my car tags
I did do this.
Go hiking
I did go hiking a few times with my best friend, Ricky. We went to this wonderful nature park that I had been to before, but he had not. It’s a park that is made up of bridges to older people have easy access. There are also a few large cages that contain eagles and owls. We also went to a place even I hadn’t been to before.
Go to strawberry festival
The strawberry festival is this awesome festival that has fair rides, live music, food trucks, and strawberry shortcake!
Try a new restaurant
I did try Longhorn Steakhouse for the first time. I went with my family. I’m not a big fan of steak so I just got their Caesar salad, potato soup, and steamed asparagus. Those were so good I might actually go again sometime just to get that meal again.
Start doing meditations and affirmations more regularly
I did a couple meditations, but other than that I have not done them regularly. I am going to keep trying.
Go on a trip
I had planned to go on a vacation to the beach, but ended up not going. One of my friends did come down though and for three days we went around to some hiking places nearby. It was really fun.
Grow flowers
I tried. I failed.
Work on book
I have slowly been working on a book I’ve been wanting to write for forever. My big problem with writing this is that I hate writing rough drafts. In school, when I was writing a paper I would never have a rough draft, only a final draft. I am having to remind myself that I need to write a rough draft and then I can go back and keep improving it instead of trying to make it perfect the first go around.
Buy something for myself
I feel like I had something in mind when I put this on my list, but I don’t remember what it was. I have spent a lot of money on myself this season though.
Finish reading 4 books
I have actually read 7 books this season, not counting all the fan fiction and other non formally published works. Here is what I read:
May seemed to have gone by in the blink of an eye, but I am proud of all that I have accomplished with my goals. Here’s the new goals for the month of June.
It is May already – wow! I was proud of my accomplished goals last month. I hope to do as well this month!
Post 4 YouTube videos
I want to post at least 4 YouTube videos this month. However, I am going to try to post twice a week, but if I don’t do that I am going to at least once a week.
Post 4 blog post
I have two planned so far (including this one), but I want to at least post four. I will try to post at least once a week on here.
Post 3 days a week on Tumblr
I want to try and post on my Tumblr more. I am on there all the time, but I rarely post anything. I have two actually so I’ll post on either one.
Read 2 books
I did not do this last month, but I hope to this month. I want to finish a book this week so I can start reading the twilight series. That series is one that’s a fast read so I might even read more than two books this month.
Take more pictures
I want to take more pictures as I hardly take any anymore.
Complain less
This is mostly toward complaining at work. I have decided I am just going to go about my life and my job and not worry about other people.
Take vitamins
This week I have a package of vitamins coming in from care/of. I am so excited to try this out. I know I am not getting enough vitamins in me.
Get some vitamin D (sun)
I really need to be outside more. It always makes me feel better when I do.
I hope to stay organized this month. I go through periods of being really organized to not at all. (That’s depression for you).
What are some of your goals for this month?
Hello! I have been absent for a month or so, but I am back! I’ve been struggling with motivation, but I have some back now so I am going to try to keep it up.
I can’t believe April is already half way over. I made a list of things I want to accomplish this month.
Post 4 Youtube Videos
Starting this month, I really want to challenge myself to post on YouTube again! It also helps that I’ve got a deal with one of my best friends if I do start posting again. I’ll talk about it in a video I am posting tomorrow.
Post 4 blogs
My goal is to start posting once a week (or more). At the beginning of the month is when I usually plan everything out – when I post and such.
Take more pictures
I LOVE taking pictures, but I don’t allow myself to have time for it anymore. I have decided to make myself have time for it. I may post some of the pictures each month.
Be more organized
I haven’t been organized in a while, as I said before I just have not had the motivation. Thankfully, motivation has decided to show up again, and I hope it is around to stay a while. I think the warm weather really helps. I have been spending more time outside.
Read 2 books
This one has been a struggle for the past 6 years. After high school, I never made time for reading. Well – I have been reading a lot here lately, but it has been things on Tumblr. My goal is to start reading more books. I have a lot I want to read through so I can donate or exchange them out for more.
Practice writing
I have loved writing for a really long time. I love writing stories. I also want to practice writing more poetry. I used to do it in high school, and I even took a class in college, but I haven’t written any since then.
Take things to Goodwill
This month my mother and I have been cleaning and organizing our house. I want to get rid of anything we don’t use and donate it either to Goodwill or a women’s shelter.
I complied a list of goals for this month!
Post 2 YT videos
I have started posting YouTube videos again. Last December, I did about 18 days of vlogmas before I got burnt out, but I do want to start post videos at least twice a month. I want to eventually post once a week.
Post on blog 4 times
I have been so bad about posting on here, but I have this month more prepared. I’ve been using a planner a lot more here lately and have already planned out several blog posts.
Read 2 books
I’ve started reading again this year. I used to read all the time, but when I went to college, I hardly ever read for pleasure. My goal this year is to read 22 books, but I expect I’ll read more than that.
Be more active on Instagram
I have a fitness instagram, and I really want to be more active on that account. This past weekend, I have been researching what I could do with my account. I will be posting a progress picture at some point. I also might post about food as well. If you have any suggestions, please do comment them.
Try new recipes
I have a couple new drink recipes I want to try, and I’m sure there’s some new food recipes as well.
Do my daily to dos
When making my new year resolutions, I made a list of daily to dos to help me accomplish my goals. My daily list consists of: write 50 words, read bible, read 10 minutes of book, meditate 5 minutes, watch TJ daily vlog, inspirational quote, and affirmation.
Wake up and don’t hit snooze
I usually have four or five alarms set and still hit snooze once more. I have now made myself only have two alarms. Today on February 1, I did actually get up earlier than I have been here lately. I hope to eventually get up after the first alarm goes off.
Ab challenge
This month I am going to do an ab challenge. I will take a picture of my stomach in the beginning and the end of this month so I can compare. I will do sit ups, crunches, leg raises and planks daily.
Finish Criminal Minds
I am almost done with this series! I am so excited, but also sad that I am almost to the end. They will still have episodes coming out, but it won’t be the same as watching as many new episodes as I want.
Finish The Seven Deadly Sins
This is an anime that I started in January. I could have already finished it, but I just don’t want it to end! It is so good. I love all the seven deadly sins and their friends. After I finish Criminal Minds, I am going to finish this series.
I don’t think 2020 went as anyone had planned. I know because of the coronavirus situation, I (and many others) were not able to finish our resolutions.
This year I decided I was going to make my resolutions into a more broad list. On top of my year long resolutions, I have daily goals for myself as well, which I will talk about at the end.
VOLUNTEER MORE OF MY TIME
I used to just say “volunteer more” as one of my resolutions, and I would mean volunteering at a local animal shelter. This year, however, I decided I wanted to make this resolution more broad. I want to volunteer more of my time toward people, whether it be people I know or strangers. This could also be considered random acts of kindness.
BE MORE PRESENT
I want to be more mindful of things that I do every day. I tend to be thinking of 20 other things while trying to do one. I want to focus more on the now instead of the later.
GET A NEW JOB
It is time I leave my job at my family’s restaurant and get a job with my communications degree. I have been putting this off because I wanted a break that I greatly deserved after going to school for 17ish years straight.
SAVE MONEY
My goal for this year is to save $3,000. In 2020, I reached my goal and then some. I think this was mostly because since we could not really do anything during corona, I did not spend nearly as much money and instead saved it. This year will be more of a challenge as I have more expenses than I used to.
BE MORE ORGANIZED
My life is a whole lot better when it consists of lists and neat spaces. One way I am being more organized is by keeping a notebook that consists of a lot of my resolutions. I keep up with my daily to-do list, weekly self-care, money made weekly, money saved, daily affirmation, books read, new things tried, and workout log. These are the things I want to keep up with the most during 2021.
EXERCISE 3X A WEEK
I have been pretty consistent with this for almost a year now. I just hope to continue my fitness journey.
READ 15 BOOKS
For the past five years, I haven’t read many books at all. I am hoping to change that this year. I added something into my daily to-dos that should change that.
TRY 24 NEW RECIPES
I need to cook more. This is one of my big goals for 2021. I know soon (maybe this year) I will on my own, and I need to make more than basic items like ramen and eggs.
POST ON YOUTUBE 12 TIMES
I want to post a video at least once every month. During December, I posted 19 vlogmas videos and quite enjoyed it. I know I would never be able to do daily videos, but I hope to eventually get into posting once a week.
PRACTICE SELF-CARE WEEKLY
I need to make myself relax weekly. Sometimes I forget to take time for myself. This may be in the form for a nice book, massage, deep face wash, relaxing bath, etc.
POST REGULARLY ON BLOG
I want to try to post weekly. If not, I want to at least post bi-monthly. I’m going to try to be more organized with this. Plan a week or so ahead with what I am going to post.
DO DAILY TO-DOS
This year I am going to have a daily to-do list that currently consists of seven things: write 50 words, read a chapter of Bible, read 10 minutes of book, meditate 5 minutes, watch TJ daily vlog, inspirational quote, and affirmation.
The reason I am doing daily to-dos is because lists make me feel more organized and accomplished. I did set the task to be low in order for me not to feel so pressured and just not doing them at all. I figure I will do more than I required myself to do. However, I know there will be days where I will not finish my list. I will not beat myself up over it, but instead try again the next day.
These are my new year resolutions. I want this year to be a year of growth. I want to do things that make me happy, but also get out of my comfort zone.
May this year be good to us.
My wish for December is that I complete all my goals, and I stay in the creative mood! Here are my goals for December:
December goals
I am proud of how many of my goals I got done last month! I hope to do more this month!
August Goals
What are some of your goals for August?
July goals
I have quite a few goals for this July. Two main things I am going to do different this July is I am going to make a meal plan for me and I am going to use my planner frequently. I am going to have a meal plan because I need to be better at eating three times a day, and eating enough calories. I am going to start using a planner regularly because I believe it will help me get through more of my goals.
July goals
Here is my June Wrap-up! I finished more than half of my list! In July, I am going to try to be more organized. I’m going to use my planner, plan my meals (as I have not been eating right), and work on my mental health.
What are some of your goals for this upcoming month? I would love to hear about them!
It seems like the months are going by fast and slow at the same time. This past month I ended up mostly just working a lot, and I did not do much of anything I wanted to get done. Here’s an update of what I did do:
Here are my goals for June:
There is not much that I want say before you see my May in pictures, but I do want to say this. Black lives matter. Not all cops are bad. I believe the bad people deserve to go to jail.
Also, the picture where I have a bruised face is just make up I did for Tik Tok.
I FINALLY HAVE TIME ON MY HANDS. As of today (May 2), I am a college graduate.
This past semester I have been so busy that I have not had time to do much else except go to work and school.
This summer will be full of job searching and finding the job I wouldn’t mind having for a while, but I am going to try to still doing all the things I enjoy to do. Here are some of the things I want to accomplish in May.
Here are the things I want to do in May! I am hoping to actually get things done this month even though we are still going through a pandemic. My goal is to also be more organized and productive. I want to try keeping a calendar and sticking to it.
Do you ever have that weird experience where you can’t tell if time went by really fast or really slow? That’s me right now. Part of me is like “oh wow, January is already almost over,” but then another part of me is like “oh wow, it’s ONLY January.”
Anyway, here’s what my January looked like!
My January has been quite interesting. I started an internship (which I love). I am working out again. I’m drinking lots of good coffee and even been meditating.
I want to give an explanation for the last picture. The last picture is (obviously) of my shower (which I share with two suitemates). Last night one of them called me and asked if I knew what happened to the shower head. I asked. “.. what do you mean what happened to the shower head?” I went into the bathroom and it was literally GONE. We don’t know who took it or when. I know it was sometime yesterday between 12 p.m. and 11 p.m. but other than that, we have no idea exactly when or how or WHY.
