Monthly Goals: April

Oh, hey April. You snuck up on me there! March was a terrible month for me and I'm over it. I woke up on the morning of the 1st and was excited to start a new month. April is a clean slate, new mentality, and refreshed attitude.

 

As I sat down with my April calendar opened up, I was shocked. It's going to be a whirlwind. All of my weekends have been booked with up event after event. On top of that, it's my final three weeks of my undergraduate career. How crazy!

When I thought about my goals for this month, I didn't really know what exactly I wanted to achieve. Things have been so up and down lately that I just wanted to set some overarching resolutions. Resolutions aren't as focused as goals but they're exactly what I need right now.

April Goals Resolutions
1. Stay Positive
2. Allow yourself to cry....
3. ...but know when to let things go
4. Make the most of your last 3 weeks as a college student

Monthly Goals | February 2013

2013 is already flying by. How are we already in the month of February? As we start this new month, I've decided that I need to be kept more accountable with my monthly goals. It's so easy for me to come up with a list of goals and forget about them. Most times than not, that's precisely what happens. SO, starting this month, I will be having an accountability partner. Who you may ask? My wonderful Alpha Kappa Psi Big: Kendall!

 

Kendall and I at formal this past December.

 

Both Kendall and I started posting our monthly goals on our blogs about a year ago. *check out Kendall's blog. I'm quite in love with it!* Like I said, I prefer goals over resolutions. They are far more specific and keep me focused throughout the month. Kendall and I have swapped our lists of goals and will be keeping one another accountable throughout the month. My favorite thing that she does? For every goal that I don't meet during the month, $10 will be donated to charity. What a fabulous idea Kendall!

 

February Goals

1.Stay on top of homework: With a full-time job and full course load there is no time for procrastination! Weekends are for homework...not for play.

2. Blog more! I'm aiming for at least 3 posts a week (I'm on a roll this week!).

3. Get off my butt and workout: With such a busy schedule, it's tough to find time to relax and very easy to get stressed/grumpy. Let's recall to Elle Woods: "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy."

4. Write handwritten letters: Slowly chugging away at my 365 Snail Mail goal. Want a letter from me? Let me know your address!

5. Stick to my budget!: Now that I'm on salary, I'm on my own with all of my expenses. Time to cut back on the unnecessary meals out, Starbucks, and shopping. Sad day.

 

Let's see how I do this month!

Monthly Goals--January

It's been a hectic day so I apologize for such a late post! Have you all set your New Year's Resolutions yet? I don't like resolutions and whenever the new year comes around, I usually don't set resolutions. They are too vague and not specific enough for me. Instead of resolutions, I like setting monthly goals. It's more specific and more focused. Monthly goals help me in realigning my priorities every month. I know it is two weeks into the month but I've had these goals written down for awhile now and thought it'd be nice to share! Keep me accountable?

January Goals:

1. Pack everything into one suitcase and one carry-on
2. Say all my goodbyes with as little tears as possible
3. Physically get on a plane and go to Beijing
4. Read at least 2 books
5. Finish studying the book of 1 Corinthians
6. Continue keeping up with the new blog

Do you all have any awesome goals/resolutions that you have set out to complete?
