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:
- Read 36 books with buying ANY.
- Get into and sustain the best shape of my life.
- Stitch my Baltimore ornament in time to have it finished for Christmas (July).
- Budget together to hit our financial goals.
- Date each other more intentionally.
- Correct legal & business systems for the business.
- Invest in ME without spending any more money.
- 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. ✅
