My Goals For 2018


I know that goals too resolutions are kind of the same thing but I never similar to tell I'm setting novel twelvemonth resolutions because I experience similar those are but laid upwards to fail. Doing something for a total twelvemonth is a truly long time! So instead, I'm setting goals for myself.

Surprisingly, this is the start fourth dimension on the weblog I'm setting them inwards the novel twelvemonth (I normally laid them around my New York Anniversary) but I'm truly feeling the "fresh start" this year. Some are longterm, some are tardily fixes but they're all things I would similar to make inwards 2018. Enjoy!


Personal:
1. Stay consistent amongst working out
Last calendar month I started BBG too I promise to stick amongst it. What is awesome is Andrew has decided to produce it amongst me (he modifies it to agree his needs) too and thence straight off we're able to concur each other accountable too stick to the routine together. I'm never truly happy to piece of work out, but later nosotros complete I'm ever glad nosotros did it. 

2. Increase my monthly savings
Over the past times 2 years I've gotten truly expert at aggressively saving (it was a goal from 2015!). I've been working amongst my personal advisor too twice a calendar month an amount is pulled from my accounts too pose into my savings. We've been at this issue for most half dozen months too I cry upwards nosotros demand to increase it! 

3. Get inwards command of my spending
I was doing my weblog expenses for the year, looking over my past times bills too spending from 2017 too -- woof -- I spent Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 LOT. I know it's component of the job, too I pose a lot of coin dorsum into it, but I wasn't happy amongst how much I was spending. Just similar I desire to salve more, I desire to pass less. I realized I don't convey much of a budget for purchases, too I'm non truly paying attending to the income too expenditures. In some ways, this is great because I don't convey that stress but it's also unnecessary because I could live on saving more.

4. Write half a book
I cry upwards I mentioned this inwards a random weblog post final twelvemonth but I truly desire to write a book. I convey the plot, the characters too the ideas all ready to become I but demand to write it down. I realized adding some other full-time labor to my already busy plate was a bigger challenge than anticipated. So I'm setting a goal for myself to write one-half a mass -- non the whole thing. But but 100/150 or too thence pages.

5. Wake upwards earlier
There was a calendar month or 2 where I got inwards the routine of waking upwards at seven too starting my day. I LOVED how much extra fourth dimension I had to produce things too I truly would dearest to teach dorsum into that habit. It's but a heed over thing thing too something that is easily done too thence let's produce it!


For the Apartment:
1. Get a novel couch
I convey this awesome bluish couch from World Market that I dearest but it's getting onetime too isn't truly the most inviting to pass a 24-hour interval on (it's to a greater extent than fashion over function) -- peculiarly straight off that in that place is a novel somebody inwards the apartment. So my goal for this twelvemonth is to discovery a novel (still bluish velvet) couch that is comfortable, has a chaise too I would *love* (this is the difficult part) for it to convey a recliner but non truly await similar it reclines. Any ideas?

2. Re-read the Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up too construct clean out the apartment
In the grand system of things, I truly don't convey that much stuff. We alive inwards a 700 sq. ft. story too thence the pick to convey a lot isn't fifty-fifty in that place but I produce experience cluttered past times my things. I desire to convey an story audit too teach rid of a lot. I read this book when I lived inwards my studio too was able to pack upwards most twenty trash bags total of items that I didn't demand too it felt so good. I desire to produce it 1 time to a greater extent than too truly teach the story dorsum inwards tip-top shape!

3. Shoot too video my apartment
I know I know I've been too thence bad most this!! But for a long fourth dimension I never truly looked at the story every bit "finished" but straight off that I cry upwards most it, I haven't truly added anything novel inwards months. So I gauge that way we're done? I cry upwards later I construct clean out I'll teach the story ready to shoot too we'll teach this done. But you lot volition encounter this inside the year!


Blog:
1. Write a long shape post 1 time a week
Looking dorsum on my pop posts of 2017, I noticed the tendency that almost all of the transcend 10 posts were longer shape content; ones where I got to a greater extent than personal, to a greater extent than in-depth too to a greater extent than existent amongst you lot guys. I dearest to write (obviously) but I but savage into the routine of typing a paragraph or 2 too hitting pose out (life gets busy!). So my goal is to innovation to a greater extent than inwards advance too to discovery a fourth dimension to sit down downwards too write a longer shape weblog post. I but demand some ideas most what to write about!

2. Show to a greater extent than everyday too casual style
I truly dearest to vesture dresses too skirts. They are honestly my favorite, but when I was looking dorsum on 2017 I realized I didn't demo you lot to a greater extent than of my everyday / casual side. I know nosotros all convey those "I but desire to live on comfortable" days too and thence my promise is to percentage mine amongst you lot to a greater extent than often. Less heels, to a greater extent than sneakers!

3. Be ameliorate most emails
I truly really savage off on emails this year. Between how crazy piece of work was too the influx of weblog emails I got overwhelmed. I used to but answer to them when I had some gratuitous fourth dimension but straight off I cry upwards I demand to laid aside fourth dimension to specifically piece of work through emails too answer non but some, but all, too concur myself to it!

4. Get dorsum to YouTube
I experience similar I was truly bully most this inwards 2016 but I totally savage off final twelvemonth too solely published twenty videos (zero inwards the past times iii months). I dearest recording videos too talking to you lot guys, but it took a backseat because life got busy! So I'll endeavour to produce 1 video a calendar month too encounter how it goes. I'm non totally going to overwhelm myself but I'll teach dorsum inwards the swing of things too become from there.
