I really don’t even know how to address my goals from February…so I’m not going to 🙂 Basically, I did none of them. Let’s just start fresh, shall we? Alright then.
March Goals
- Let’s assume I try to mark off some of the items on the February list, without listing them all here in March. So February goals take-two 🙂
- Get back into practicing with the camera. Do more manual practice. Resume the 365 challenge.
- Keep up with the whole exercise thing. Yoga at least 4 days a week, and try to get in 50,000 steps a week. I’m actually pretty proud of myself in this area and have been doing better about sticking to doing one yoga video a day. I need to be more proactive about getting my steps in.
- Get some Skillshare classes done and complete a few projects. Goal of 3 classes & 2 projects.
- No more mindless TV during the day. One show maximum during the day. I’m going to see if I can’t find some podcasts or something more educational to have on; sometimes I just need the extra noise.
- Go through my to-read or to-do boards on Pinterest and my other to-do lists. Read or do the things.
- Catch up on all the blogging things 🙂 Reading, Writing, Commenting
In general, I need to hit the reset button on 2015. I need to organize and re-focus. I need to force myself into action, pick a direction…I’ve been floundering. I really hope March turns out to be the month that I feel more energized and I’m more productive. Fingers-crossed 🙂
What do you want out of March?
I’ve been feeling the same way this month- or ;pretty much since I’ve gotten back. I want to blog and do crafty things, but then again, I’d rather sit, relax, read a book, or watch mindless tv. I haven’t watched mindless t.v. in forever. =) We can meet up at a dog park or something, btw, some time!
Yes, I have been having a really hard time adjusting to having all free time, which seems super weird and stupid 🙂 You on the other hand certainly deserve some R&R. I’ve actually felt much better this month, so much more motivated. I would be down for a dog park meet-up too. I’m super flexible on time and place. Sam is a handful but gets along fine with other dogs.
I’m all about hitting the reset button. I’m looking through all the things I thought I was going to do this month and this year and they’re just not going to happen. Wishing you the best of luck with yours – and I love the “read or do the things” goal! I need to do the things I’ve pinned to-do, or maybe do some spring cleaning on my Pinterest boards!
I’m slowly working on the cleaning up of the Pinterest boards. I’ve somehow become an information hoarder 🙂 I search, search, search and then never read it. Best of luck on your goals as well Kristin!
“Read or do things” is my favorite goal. I’m with you — the other day I went through the folder where I put all the free ebooks and courses I get from various sites and made a checklist so I can start actually reading/completing them and tracking my progress. If nothing else, I’ll get some stuff off my hard drive.
That is a good idea to do a checklist of them! I just need to get better organized in general 🙂 I think I’ve turned into an information/picture hoarder since I started blogging, LOL!
These are great goals for the month and I love how you mentioned hitting the reset button on the year. It is so important to know when to do it and to realize that it’s completely within our power to do it! Good luck.
Thank you Amy! I was feeling overwhelmed when thinking about goals and the new month, so it helped me to just say, “ok, let’s start fresh”. Otherwise I get weighed down by the failure instead of focusing on moving forward.
I can feel myself floundering this year as well. I just can’t keep up with everything. The *good* news is that March is the time for spring! Spring forward, spring cleaning. It’s when life seems to start moving a little more quickly and it’s when I’m always able to start catching up. Plus, flowers. I mean, flowers.
Very true! I’m ready for all the good Spring feelings and motivation 🙂
haha I’ve definitely had months where I dropped the ball with my goals. I have a few big things coming up so I’m hoping to do better this month
Best of luck on your goals this month Julie! Let’s hope March funs smoother for you and me both 🙂
Good luck reaching your goals this month! Sometimes life doesn’t work out as planned but there is always next month to turn it around! Good luck reaching your goals!
Thank you Constance! Yes, hopefully March will work out a little better as planned 🙂
haha i’m so glad i’m not the only one! I seriously just wanted to slack off all month.. and it’s creeping into this month. 😛 i hope we both can find the motivation to kick some serious ass in March! 🙂
Well we are only into day two of the month so there is time to turn it around 🙂 I sure do hope we both see a motivated March!! Wishing you the best of luck E!
Any news on new destinations??
no not really.. but we have been talking about san diego a lot more lately as a possibility. probably won’t decide until maybe 2 weeks before. :/
Well, I have to say it’s a pretty nice choice…and you know someone who will grab a beer with you 🙂
haha definitely keeping that in mind! 😀
This cold weather has killed my exercise motivation so I can relate.
Well I don’t really have that excuse 🙂 Though I am REALLY looking forward to the time change! I would completely be in hibernation mode if I was still on the east coast, you guys have had a time of it this year!
I always forget about my to-read list on Todoist + Pinterest – I feel like that would need to be a 2 month goal for me. 🙂
We will see how well I do on that one 🙂 I’m trying to focus this month on organizing and getting things done I’ve pushed to the side!
I want more outside time, but that’s dependent on the weather. I think we’re expecting a wintery mix tomorrow. Not pleased.
Excited to see more photos with your fancy camera!
Ugh this winter has seemed particularly bad!! I feel like every time I look at the news they are reporting another huge winter storm. Even NC has had snow for several weeks now, and that is not typical. Wishing you nicer weather soon Steph!!
the only thing i want out of march is for this weather TO WARM UP ALREADY. we’re expecting more snow tomorrow followed by freezing rain #RAGE.
i also have to monitor my tv time as well; when i’m finished my errands, i only watch max 1hr and then i get up (even though i don’t want to) and do something productive!
I wish you the same thing!! I’m so happy that at least DST is just around the corner. I’ve said it before, but I don’t miss winter weather one little bit!!
I wanted to keep at least one show for watching while eating lunch or folding laundry.
Good luck in March, I also felt like I have been watching more TV than I would like lately so have started to put on some NPR radio shows or the British quiz show QI while I do chores.
Thanks Bailie!! P usually puts NPR on in the morning and I will leave it on, but mid-morning it loops back to the same material!! Quiz show sounds like a good option. I’m hoping the tv being off will result in me being more productive….we will see 🙂
What I do is stream only the shows I really like via their webpage, usually music and arts related ones!
yeah my feburary was pretty similar, i only crossed off one goal, and that had been on my list since november so it barely counts.
i love your do and read the things, lol. we recently got sling tv and while i love it, i have noticed my productivity has dropped drastically – like i will waste 8 hours in front of the tv, or because i am watching the tv i am playing on my laptop pinteresting or whatever, rather than cleaning the house or reading a book. i love hgtv but i dont like that i’m already being lazier and we haven’t had it that long!
We just heard about Sling TV this past month!! I was wondering how it is…sounds dangerous, LOL 🙂 I almost never just sit and watch tv, I’m also on the computer but I’m trying to break that habit. I’ve got to get my act together in the productivity department!!
I want… all the things in March. 😉 But seriously, I need to take another whack at my February goals, too, particularly in the exercise department. I keep excusing my inaction due to the weather, but it’s probably about time to join a gym…
I totally understand the weather thing, it’s much easier to be active when it is nice out and not dark at 5! Of course I have zero excuses in that department since the move 🙂 I’ve been doing yoga on YouTube and that has really helped me get into a routine. Best of luck on your March/February goals!!
Wish we had some of that mild California weather that y’all enjoy! Working out would be so much easier if I had motivating and inspirational weather to pair it with! 🙂
I feel like I constantly have to remind myself to practice with my camera, I might just have to look into a 365 challenge to make myself take more pictures! good luck with march!
Thank you Kasey! I take a lot of pictures of food, but that tends to be it and I get lazy using auto features. You should totally join the 365 challenge!! There are also, fun weekly or monthly photo challenges floating around. I always think about joining those too, but have yet to commit 🙂
