The first month of 2015 is coming to an end. It is time to evaluate the goals I set for January and continue with some of them and add new ones where needed. For me, January was a month of putting old procedures back in place and creating some new ones. My office is still not nearly completed but I have been working from there anyway for the past few weeks. It really does make a difference having a dedicated work space. This has pushed me forward into working harder to get this room completed.

February 2015 Goals

Review of January Goals

Business

I completed Content Brew! This course is a wonderful way to fill up your editorial calendar and start thinking creatively about upcoming blog content. If you are a blogger and haven’t taken this course, I highly recommend it. It is self-paced so you can start any time! I am participating in the Type-A Parent 2015 Next Level Blog Challenge and I completed the January Challenge. I am in the middle of the Media Kit Smash class, it runs through February 6th. Soon this will be available as a self-paced class as well. Make sure you are following my Facebook page so that you can know when that happens. Unfortunately, my pageviews are way down for January 🙁

Personal

I did pretty well at going to bed by 11pm most nights. I was horrible at drinking my water, I have done better with it now that I am sitting at my desk and I keep my water glass with me. I set a low goal for steps and I still failed miserably. Two days I forgot to wear my Fitbit! Two days I reached my goal one of those was a Disney day and the other was when we went to Monster Jam. I will do better in February because I have signed up for the Vionic Walkabout. This will help be be even more accountable. Have you signed up for the Walkabout, it starts February 1st!

Spiritual

I did much better, reading my Bible and praying at least 5 days a week. I am also loving the online Bible study I am currently in.

Household

I did meal plan for January and we actually stuck to the plan about 75% of the time. Daily house cleaning was hit or miss. I never found another decluttering challenge that suited me but I have been focusing on one area of the house a week to declutter and progress is being made.

February Goals

Business

  • Participate in the Type-A Parent 2015 Next Level Blog Challenge and complete the February Challenge.
  • Complete the January/February Media Kit Smash class and finally have a professional media kit!
  • Increase my pageviews by 10%, you can help by sharing my blog posts on your social media!
  • Create a weekly newsletter.
  • Start writing my first eBook

Personal

  • Drink at least 64oz of water a day and log it
  • Get in at least 5,000 steps a day-this will be easier with the Walkabout-I hope!
  • Spend one evening a week with all 5 of us together-getting on Aaron  Summer’s schedule has proven to be difficult.
  • Read one chapter a day in a book for pleasure.

Spiritual

  • Read my Bible daily
  • Spend time in prayer daily
  • Take part in a Bible Study-There are 5 weeks left in my online Bible study

Household

  • Meal planning-keep it up
  • Daily cleaning-get back on schedule
  • Declutter living room (media corner-end tables-misc junk)
  • Clean and declutter the game closet
  • Put dresser in office and re-organize

You may remember, I am part of a Facebook group that encourages each other as we set and work towards our goals. We have created this linky so that we can share these goals. If you write about your goals, please feel free to link up with us!

    They sound great! I need to drink more and walk more too. It’s hard to get it all done.

    I like how you broke your goals down to categories. I should try that. Good luck with your goals in February.

    Meal planning has been a lifesaver in our house. If I don’t plan out our meals and have at least part of it made the night before, it’s all over and we wind up getting something on the way home. Good for your for keeping up with it!

      Holly, I agree. I wish I knew about meal planning when my kids were young and we were homeschooling!

    Great goals. I love doing walk videos in my home in the mornings. It gets so hot here in Florida that I prefer to keep a bit cooler.

    You have some great goals for this month! I need to get back on track with drinking my water and going to bed at a decent time. I’d say personal goals like that are the ones I struggle with the most.

    I need to drink more water, and read my Bible more as well. It looks like you are still progressing in your goals. Good luck!

    I’m trying to get better with water intake too. I am really good about drinking it in the night, but during the day, I have more trouble. Woohoo for doing so well with your meal planning in January!

      It’s funny, some days water is easy and some days I don’t drink anything!

    These are great goals- like drinking more water – as that is one of my goals right now. I really need to work on more things personally and take time for me.

    I love how specific your goals are! I often set goals for myself but then don’t stick to them because I make them too broad and too overwhelming. I hope you make all your goals this month!

      Shell, specific goals are so important! I set broad annual goals and then break them down to monthly goals.
