2021 Goals

Hello Lovelies! 

Happy 2021!

 

It’s that time of year where I set my goals for the year ahead. I’m not even going to comment about how my 2020 goals went—2020 is like Vegas for me, what happened there, stays there.

 

It’s a new year, with newish goals.

 

As for my 2021 theme, I’m still sticking with the Oscar Wilde quote I had for the last two years as a reminder that I don’t want a reinvention but rather I want to continue getting back to myself.

Blog

-Be consistent with content

-Update GoodReads—I can’t seem to remember to post on GR—I didn’t add one single book last year. I’m going to add a tracker/reminder to my reading journal that will hopefully help me remember to actually add the books I read.

-Add discussions to the blog

-Be consistent with blog visits

-Discover new-to-me blogs

-Be consistent with social media updates.

 

Reading

 -Tackle my TBR pile mountain

-Conquer NetGalley

-Shop my bookshelves instead of buying—not only will this help to curb my spending; it will help me with my goal of tackling my TBR mountain.

-Try out different genres

-Read more non-fiction

-Read more historical fiction

-Use the reading journals I received as gifts

 

House

My two house goals were left over from last year.

-Replace my bookshelves so they match my new desk—apparently, the bookcases I want to get are a hot commodity and have been on backorder. I’m hoping to have them by at least Spring.

-Turn my bedroom closet into a makeup/dressing area—because of everything that happened with the restrictions, this will probably end up being a DIY project that I’m aiming to complete by Fall 2021

 

 

Personal

-Dedicate at least an hour a day to ‘self-care’/me time/unplugging—this was something that I really need last year and I’m rolling it over to 2021.

-Exercise at least three times a week—I’ve built up a nice bit of easily storable at home exercise equipment and I need to get back into using them regularly.

-Do more yoga—this was something I was really enjoying at the start and middle of last year and I need to get back into it.  

-Remember to take my vitamins—I started using a habit tracker in my planner at the end of year that’s been helping me to remember to take my vitamins and I plan to continue using it in 2021.

-Learn something new

-Drink more water

-Create a work/home balance—I tend to work all hours of the day and I need to keep to set hours.
