November’s here and with it means a new list of goals!
My October goals list was a lengthy one. I made a lot of progress on many of them, but for November, I wanted to reduce the load a little bit. I’m doing this by keeping my goals to 12 (rather than 26 like last month!) and reducing some numbers here and there.
There’s no point in having goals if they just merely become tasks you check off. Thankfully, I don’t feel that way about any of my goals, including the ones that have a numbers component to them. Still, I want to ensure that none of them become obligations. I want to approach all of my goals with determination rather than dread.
Here they are!
November Goals
- Vote. (Joke’s on you; I already did this. Please go vote.)
- Create my November budget.
- Track my spending in November.
- Continue tracking my meals. // I hit a very important milestone on November 2nd, and I’m excited to continue my journey.
- Read two (2) books. // Hopefully I will read more than this, but there’s no excuse not to read at least two, I think.
- Make two (2) new recipes. // During my planning time (see below), I’m going to pick out what I’ll make this month.
- Watch at least one (1) opera.
- Create at least four (4) new products for my TpT store.
- Post to the blog at least once a week.
- Schedule the time to do each of these tasks in my planner/weekly to-do. // I learned last month that if I don’t block out the time to do something, it doesn’t get done. At the end of October, I wrote out my weekly schedule and I am so much more aware now of the places where I can fit in extra activities or practicing, etc. Now to put those little blocks into action!
- Sit down each week and schedule my practicing/make a practice plan. // I have been experimenting with planning my practicing in advance and I really love it.
- Have the best Thanksgiving ever with my mom. // This may be the most important goal on the list.
