I am setting some goals for this monthly and I really hope I can meet them.
1. Run 30 miles
2. Post 2 videos on YouTube
3. Sell 25 items on my website or Etsy
4. Publish 5 blog posts
5. Run virtual Santa Monica 10k
6. Read 3 books
7. Take lunch to work
8. No fast food or takeout
9. Less than 42 hours of phone usage a week
10. Run 3 times a week
I was very disappointed in myself. I set some very easy goals for myself in August, but didn’t accomplish most of my goals sadly. Here is a quick recap.
2. Read 3 books- PASS, I read a few books during August
3. Post 3 times on my blog – FAIL I only posted ONCE in August
4. Sell 25 items either on my website or Etsy – sadly, this was also a FAIL. Didn’t sell 25 items last month
5. Be active at least twice a week, this could include running, walking, or using the arc trainer – FAIL, Didn’t do a single workout last month
Only met 1 goal out of 5. Hoping to do better this month
The last few weeks have been pretty busy and stressful for me to be honest. I have working on my small business, Athena Rose, as much as possible. However, this is really difficult to do as a single mom of a wild and curious toddler and someone who is still working outside of the home during this pandemic. I am trying to give myself a mental break and not add even more stress to my life, so I plan to keep my goals small this month.
July has gone by so quickly that I didn’t realize I forgot to post this month’s goals. Oops! Here they are, nearly 3 weeks late.
Keeping it simple this month. Maybe next month I will be more ambitious and not so lazy.
These were my goals from June. Sadly, I failed most of them.
Use my phone less than 36 hours a week, this comes out to a little under 6 hours a day
-I came few two weeks, but the next two weeks I used my phone about 38-42 hours each week
No streaming services aka Netflix, Prime, or Hulu
-Watched Netflix one day and watched Hulu another day, only because I forgot to cancel my Hulu account before I was charged, oops!
Only shop on Amazon once
-I shopped there 9 times!
No Twitter, Facebook, or Snapchat
-Posted once or twice on Snapchat, once on Twitter, and posted once on Facebook, though I went on almost every single day
Run 20 miles
-This was one of the few goals I accomplished. I ran 21 miles in June, including a virtual OC Half Marathon
No shopping at Target
-Shopped at Target twice, which isn’t too bad
20 No spend days
-Not sure how many no spend days I had, but it wasn’t close to 20 days
Read 7 books
I did this goal too, Read about 10 books last month.
No fast food
-Had fast food twice
No YouTube
_I watched YouTube at least 5 days a week
