HELLO 2020!
Y’ALL…WE HAVE OFFICIALLY SURVIVED 2019 AND ANOTHER DECADE!
I can’t believe 2020 is here ALREADY here! The past year went by super fast! January is one of my favorite months because it serves as a month to START OVER for many of us. We now have 362 days left in 2020 and that is 362 more opportunities to make this year YOUR year!
My Goals…Why do I set them? Why do I want to share them here?
- Setting goals helps me remain focused.
- Sharing my goals helps to hold me accountable.
- I hope that it may inspire you to set goals for yourself!
Setting goals is essential for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You’ll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.
I have also decided on my PHRASE OF THE YEAR!!! Every year, I pick a phrase that will be my guide for my life. This year, my phrase is “If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off, and try again.” 2019 was a year of a lot of not succeeding in several different goals I had and that’s ok. All I can do is not give up and try again. =)
Life Goals
- Get 7-8 hours of sleep.
- Add meditation and yoga to my routine.
- Make skin care a priority and form a habit of washing my face in the morning and evening.
- Train and run a half marathon.
- Workout at least 3 times a week.
- Start Keto and stick to it through the end of the year.
- Let go of organizations or boards that aren’t helping me grow as a professional or as a person overall.
- Read at least 1 book a month.
- Make more time for family and friends.
- Spend more time with my pups.
Work Goals
- PASS THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING EXAM.
- Focus and get work done in the middle of the day so I can go home at a reasonable time.
- Stay on top of my professional organization responsibilities and be more intentional when getting involved on boards.
- Actually, use my standing desk while at work.
- Be social with my coworkers and attend more of the social events like Poker Nights and monthly happy hours.
Blog Goals
- Blog at least 2 times a week.
- Vlog at least 2 times a week.
- Cover local Austin events like SXSW, Austin Food & Wine, and ACL (to name a few)
- Cover more local shops, people, organizations that I shop at and support
- Do more travel blogs and vlogs even when I am not visiting a location.
- Host at least 3 giveaways this year.
- Reach at least 6,000 Instagram followers by the end of the year.
In 2020, I really want to BE HAPPY. If that means giving up on orgs, people, or things then so be it. I am TIRED of always trying to prove myself to others or trying to make other people happy. It’s my turn to be happy y’all! Haha.
Cheers to 2020! I hope you all have the most amazing year!
