My goals have been taking a hit the last few months, and I haven’t been accomplishing much of them at all. The pandemic is stressful, work is stressful, preparing for surgery is stressful. I feel like life is just crazy right now for EVERYONE in the whole world, and goals have just taken a back seat. Nevertheless, I will still set them and simply do my best. Here’s how July went, and what’s on deck for August.
July 2020 Goals Recap
❌ Read six books: FAIL. Not even close, because I ended the month in the middle of something like four books! Hopefully this will lead to a high number in August!
❌ Clean the dining room table, again, and end the month with it cleared off: Didn’t get to this, but hoping to clean up the dining room soon.
❌ Finish watching Making a Murderer: FAIL. Sooo close, but totally forgot.
❌ Finish season one of The Good Doctor: FAIL. No progress here.
❌ Watch season three of The Handmaid’s Tale: FAIL. No progress.
✅ Finish season three of 90 Day Fiancé: DONE. Got to start season four soon!
✅ Watch two movies: DONE. Caleb and I watched Free Willy 2 and Free Willy 3.
✅ Schedule a haircut for Dakota: DONE. He’s going in two weeks!
✅ Get my hair cut: DONE! My mom did it!
❌ Get Caleb’s hair cut: FAIL. Haven’t taken him to Hairzoo yet.
❌ End the month with a higher savings account: FAIL.
✅ Total Completed: 4 of 11. July didn’t end up being all that great, because it seemed to fly by. Suddenly it was August, and I didn’t even realize it. Oops!
August 2020 Goals
- Read / finish six books: If I can finish all the books I’m in the middle of, plus a couple others, I should be able to accomplish this one.
- Finish my book club book in time for the meeting: I never seem to finish quite on time! For August, the title is Searching for Sylvie Lee.
- End the month with a higher savings account
- Make three sales in my new wax business: I’m signing up as a consultant this month, and while I am mainly signing up for a personal discount, it’d be nice to make some sales too.
- Clean out and organize the freezer
- Get cleared for surgery by my dietitian: My next nutrition appointment is at the end of August and I really hope she FINALLY clears me for my surgery! Once she clears me, I will have a consult with the surgeon, and set a date!
- Lose 10 pounds: Going with the above goal, I need / want to lose about 10 pounds this month.
- Re-watch Hell House LLC: I’ve been itching to re-watch this one. It became one of my favorite movies when I saw it last year.
- Finish watching Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant: I am currently watching season two and want to finish it this month. I am addicted to horrible reality TV, we all know this.
- Re-watch Teen Mom: OG season one: I’m trying to catch up on all the Teen Mom series, so I want to re-watch the first seasons so I can figure out where I left off.
- Finish watching Making a Murderer: For the love of God, I finally need to finish!
One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
