I am sure you’re have seen a lot of blog/personal goals by now and I am actually quite happy to see all the goals being set. As some of you may know I am ANTI-RESOLUTION, it seems every time I set New Year Resolutions I set myself up for failure which I hate. I know we learn from our failures (at least some of us) but these are some that I was not gonna repeat so in 2013 I made a decision to stop setting resolutions and just set Monthly goals. It seems I hit a jacket pot because ever since I started I have done almost 90% of the goals I set and I think the success is because my goals have been focused and measurable which is very important when setting goals. I have also realised that since I plan what goals I want to accomplish that month it helps me stay focused and hold myself accountable.
This year! though my goals will be monthly and I will continue to do them, I want to do them a little bit differently. Firstly, as I shared on my Instagram a couple days ago I have set my FIVE goals which I will be checking on every month and I also want to include a link-up for these goals and want to invite all of you to link up your goals whether weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly.
The rules for the link-up are simple, link up max 2 goal posts. I will share them all on twitter and facebook.
2015 Monthly Goals: Main goals
- January – Naturalisation, so I have decided to give up my Zambian citizenship to become British. Zambia does not do duo citizenship hence the need to surrender my Zambianess, and to do that need to apply and pay a whopping £904. February will be a no spend month because of this.
- February – Car lessons, I can drive (confidently enough) but need few more lessons as well as re-do my theory test since my certificate expired last year April
- March – July, Book 3 holidays abroad. If January application comes back before March I will throw in a couple of weekends to Europe.
- August – October, Save up for my house. I need to rent or buy my own place soon so fingers crossed I can get on the property ladder soon
- November – December, Get a car. Though I will be doing my lessons from February I want to be slowly saving up for a decent car that can take me from point A to point B
These are some on my 2015 Monthly Goals, what are yours? Do you set goals and do you have a preference frequency?

Monthly goals do sound a lot more doable and productive than have a resolution. I really like this idea, and it’s not too late to start for 2015. I might have to sit down and think about this more.
Mia Myrabev says
It’s never too late to start setting monthly goals, good luck hun x
Cherri Littleton Megasko says
I’ve got my fingers crossed that you make it to Europe. (Personally, I would prefer to go to Zambia!)
Mia Myrabev says
Hahaha thank you hun, I need to do a few European trips and Zambia is a must

Michelle Hwee says
I think this is the first I have heard about this, monthly goals. They seem more realistic and more reasonable to me.
Mia Myrabev says
They really are more achievable than yearly ones
lauriel says
Whoo, those are some great goals! I like how you’re thinking long-term strategically. 🙂 And I love the resolution to book Europe vacations! Paris, Florence, and Venice are some of my top recs.. 🙂
I just have central goal for 2015, which is to master everything video-related.. with the end of of solely creating a multi-media project on my own, from the visuals, to the video, to the music composition and performance, to the spoken/written narrative, to the production… Fingers crossed!
xo,

Great goal list! I had to write one down as well to keep me on track. Love your ideas!
Mia Myrabev says
Thank you

Great goals and I like how you put them in month’s instead of days. I love the quote and I’m saving this to focus on the thing’s, I need to do in my home as well.
Mia Myrabev says
Thank you Meeks 🙂
mail4rosey says
That’s a quote that gets you thinking. In many ways, I find it definitely to be true.
Mia Myrabev says
Absolutely does
Chrystal M. says
I haven’t done resolutions is years. I keep seeing a lot of folks doing the one word this year and mine seems to be falling towards Wellness. But, I have not sat down and wrote out any goals for this year and I really need to.
Mia Myrabev says
I too have seen the one word goals and not sure i can stick to it but if i was to choose one i would choose JOY
Kristen says
Happy new year! I need to write down all my goals too!
Mia Myrabev says
Happy new year to you too and good luck when you do

Great goals! I need to sit down and write out some for myself. I always forget to until I see a great post like this!
Mia Myrabev says
hahahaha hope you manage to write some this time
Krystal says
I think it makes so much more sense to make monthly goals rather than a big yearly proclamation. Those never work out.
Mia Myrabev says
They never do atleast for me they never do
Robin Rue says
I think it’s smart to do them monthly! That way you won;t get overwhelmed at all when trying to get them done.
Mia Myrabev says
Thank you that was my thinking too
