Damn. One week practically down in 2017 already! How are we all feeling?
Every year I make my New Year’s Resolutions, and every year I’m ditching them by January 15th. This year, I’m going to set some goals. After a conversation with the boyfriend I learned that I need to set some serious goals. No more of that “work harder, do more, spend more time” etc. Because how is that measurable? He’s a freaking genius ladies and gentlemen and that’s why I love him! More on that later.
I thought we’d revisit my 2016 resolutions real quick:
- Stop being so damn lazy. – I think I did pretty good this year! Although, these last couple months have been rough after being so sick.
- Learn to be a kick ass crockpot user. – I made one crockpot recipe. It was pretty kick ass! But I need to use it more.
- Keep up on the blog. – I had my ups and downs this year, but overall I’m pretty happy!
- Better budgeting. – Nope. Didn’t happen. I’m still piss broke.
- Do more things that make me happy. – Done!
Here are the new goals I’ll be working on this year for the next 359 days:
- Blog 3 times a week
- Reach out to companies to work with and get 3 collabs set up
- Move my blog over to wordpress.org
- Workout at least 3 times a week
- Run a mile under 10 minutes
- Do a pull up
- Save 20% of each paycheck
- Buy new couches
- Practice archery at least once a month
- Go on my first deer hunt
Alright, so I think I’m pretty positive I could keep going, but hey, we’re all busy and I’ve obviously got a lot of work to get started on! I hope by setting these goals that it will be easier to obtain them this way. Instead of “work harder on my blog” or “get healthy”.
Your turn! What are you hoping to kick ass at in 2017??
Good goals!

Love those! I’m always preaching SMART Goals at work (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-based), but I never actually take my own advice. My goals are to work on at least one volunteer project this year and to build up our savings account.

It’s easier to give out advice than listen to yourself 😂 but yes building up that savings account is definitely always on my mind!

Love this! Just scheduled my 2017 goals post for tomorrow. I found the last few years picking goals that I was already going towards works better than just using the typical resolutions that aren’t in the main focus. Definitely helps with my accountability and gives me a timeframe to work with.

Oh yeah absolutely! Picking things that you’ve already started leaning towards just makes you that much more motivated!

Am with you on moving the blog, one of my goals, is to get a domain name, move to .com. Am looking for a hosting that won’t break my pocket. By the way, what’s WordPress.org all about, wordpress is too technical for me?
Another goal is travel to places in my country

Those are great goals! Best of luck! I definitely need to do more research, but I’ve heard that wordpress.org just allows you more freedom with your blog and advertising…

Would definitely research too. Thanks for the reply 😘

I’m pretty sure it’s free. But you’ll have to pay for a domain name. That’s where the payment comes in.
