Five on Friday - January Goals

Are you sick of goals posts yet?  I’ve been flooding you with them this week!  Haha.  Did you see my New Year’s Goals post yesterday for 2019?  If you missed it, you may want to review it.  I have decided to start doing monthly goals posts for 2019 and that original post will set the tone for these monthly posts.  You can also read about my word for 2019 and why I chose it.  It’s probably a little crazy to some, but hey, I’ve never claimed to be normal.  ;o) 

Anyhoo, my first monthly goals post EVER is here, and here’s what I want to accomplish in January…

Personal

Positivity, worry less, complain less, be kind, patience, relationships.

Blog

Plan main content for the entire year – link-ups, posts I do every week, etc.

Plan all content for January and February.

Work ahead on blog posts so I’m not writing a post every single day.

Start working on one post for the summer.

Take 5-6 pictures for Instagram.

Co-host a giveaway on Instagram.

Pitch to three different brands.

These goals seem pretty lofty, but if I’m going to achieve my overall goal for the year, I’m going to have to get down and dirty these next few months.  I’ll back off all of the weeks that the kids are home (spring break, summer, fall break, etc.), and then November and December will be consumed by holiday prep, so I really only have seven-ish good months to get stuff done.

Time to start checking things off the list, y’all!  Follow along with me today on Instagram Stories!  Happy Friday!
