June 2018 Goals

Welcome to June’s Goal Setting Post! Does anyone else feel like May flew by? I feel like I blinked and that was it! I love writing these goal reports every single month because they force me to sit down and evaluate how I’m doing, more specifically, how am I trending towards the goals I’ve set for myself for the year. Am I making progress ? Are those goals still relevant? If not, they go. No time to waste on things that aren’t important! Instead, I’m focusing on the things that I want to finish!

Remember that my monthly goals are all aiming to bring me closer to the 10 goals I set for myself in 2018, all centered around my word of the year of Finish. They are:

1. Read 36 books with buying ANY.
2. Get into and sustain the best shape of my life.
3. Stitch my Baltimore ornament in time to have it finished for Christmas (July).
4. Budget together to hit our financial goals.
5. Date each other more intentionally.
6. Correct legal & business systems for the business.
7. Invest in ME without spending any more money.
8. Rebrand all content from BD to She Does Better.

May Monthly Goals

• Read 3 books. 👎 I finished [easyazon_link identifier=”0399573267″ locale=”US” tag=”burkedoes-20″]Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood[/easyazon_link] and [easyazon_link identifier=”1501139894″ locale=”US” tag=”burkedoes-20″]The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer[/easyazon_link].
• Workout 20 times. 👎 Only 13, but I did okay. I didn’t work out while my Dad was in town and when I was in NJ. Otherwise, I made it to the gym at least 4 times per week.
• Finish Wedding Fund & Put a Big Chunk of 💰 towards my car. ✅ Wedding is funded. Car loan down to 10K.
• Organizing the House, part 2. 👎 I only did the pantry, but I have NO travel planned for June, so I’ve deferred this until next month.
• Finish Memoir Class – Final Piece due May 17. ✅ The final result was a 5000 word piece that used cars as a conceit to carry you through my life. I’m really proud of it and hope to take another writing class at The Refinery soon!
• Work on Nanodegree: Finish P1 Explore & P2 Wrangling. 🙃 No comments.
• Write 2 “cold” pitches to new sources. ✅
