January 2017 Monthly Goals, I have complied a list of goals I want to accomplish this month. These goals are along side my 2017 yearly goals which I shared earlier today. I know many people are busy setting NEW-YEARs RESOLUTIONs, I am NOT one of them. Why? Because for me they never work, it’s hard enough remembering what I had for lunch. How am I expecting myself to remember what I supposedly should be doing during the year? Besides life is all kinds of unpredictable and fun but sometimes it can be unbearable hence my monthly goals. I truly believe setting monthly achievable goals is the best way forward.
January 2017 Monthly Goals ~ Main
- Buying a car 🚗
- Getting Car Insurance
- Declutter my home
- Start saving for a mortgage
There are three areas of my life that I want to focus on and want to set achievable goals for. These are Spiritual, Personal and Blogging life, it’s so easy to get carried away with life. One day you wake up and you don’t know who you’re or how you got to that point in your life. I want to re-focus and re-calibrate my life and set it on the right pathway.
Spiritual Goals
Though not really known by many, I am a Christmas but my faith has been lacking. Not that I don’t believe because I do, 2016 I found the mid-end part of the year hard to attend church.
- Attend church regularly, mid-week will be a challenge but Sundays I should make all the effort
- Put the Lord left/right and centre as my driver on this earthly journey
- Participate in the Church more, I sign in the choir.
Personal Goals
For the last couple of years I have been in a trans of sorts. Somehow I was in a relationship that I wasn’t sure of the future or if it was still ongoing. I wasn’t sure if I was in a relationship with myself or I had a partner.
- Make an effort to start dating again, I don’t know where to begin but will make an effort.
- Be more social, I am a house bunny and I love that but want to be more social.
Blogging Goals
In a few months I will be celebrating 4 years of blogging and I hope this year the blog reaches new heights.
- re-Build a new mailing list, I have over 8000 email subscribers but not sure how many are real.
- Update the work with me page and revise my collaboration fees
- Set Social media stats goals for 2017. 2016 I spent focusing on quality content and not building a following.
And there you have it, my January 2017 monthly goals; smart and achievable.
Happy New Year!!
Tiffany Hathorn says
I love that you set monthly goals. By having short-term goals, it is probably easier to assess your progress towards long-term goals.
Anosa says
Oh absolutely, it is so much easier that way than just having yearly goals alone
Kat says
I like goals, rather than resolutions. Oooh, you’ll have to keep us posted on the dating game. I am definitely out of that loop! Haha x
Anosa says
Hahahaha, I sure will. It’s been a while for me too so I am learning how to get back on the dating band wagon
Esther Mukoro says
I totally agree. Short-term goals are more achievable than listing out various New Year resolutions. I have set 2 New Year resolutions to read more and have some “me time”. Good luck with your
goals.
Anosa says
Thank you Esther I am loving your new year goals and hope you achieve them. Me time is so important and during that time you can read more books
Life Unexpected says
Great goals. I really need to make some personal goals too. I love making SMART goals and making sure I stay accountable. x
Anosa says
Thanks and yes staying accountable is the all reason Monthly Goals works
Garf @ morningsidefit.com says
I definitely set some goals this year. One of those goals is to exercise more.
Anosa says
Awesome, good luck Garf
Jenni - Odd Socks & Lollipops says
I think goals are a great way forward, saving for a mortgage so important, but so difficult too! Good luck with them. I’ve done a family bucket list this year and I hope we are going to have a lot of fun ticking things off.
Anosa says
Thanks Jenni, I am definitely prepared for the difficulty of saving for the mortgage but definitely will give it a try.
Good luck with your family bucketlist too
jenaspacio says
I’ve always said I wasn’t going to jump in the resolution bandwagon like I used to but this post is making me think twice. It’s always nice to have a goal. I love that you’ve categorized them. 🙂
Anosa says
Thanks Jena, it’s important for me to have monthly achievable or aimable goals thank year long resolutions
Rhian Westbury says
I think goals are better than resolutions as they tend to be more realistic. Good luck getting your new car and saving for your mortgage x
Anosa says
Thank you Rhian, I am eager to stick to my goals
Lyndsey O'Halloran says
Saving for a mortgage is so important. Good luck with your goals
Anosa says
Thank you Lyndsey I hope to manage to save for my deposit
Kim Carberry says
Monthly goals seem a lot easier to complete than resolutions….
Wishing you the best of luck for achieving everything.

Thanks so much and yes they are much more easy to track and manage too
Nazma says

Anosa says
Thanks Nazma definitely will work on them and always update in the new month
Ana De Jesus says
I agree! I find that monthly goals are far more effective and if you fall of the bandwagon it does not matter you can try again!
Anosa says
Exactly that’s my motto if you fail try again until you accomplish it or try a new tactic
Wren LaPorte says
I love the idea of monthly goals! I stopped having New Year Resolutions, because I also can not remember what I had for lunch! 😉 Those are great goals you have set! I wish you luck on your milestones.
Anosa says
Thank you Wren, it’s easy to put resolutions for the year down much harder to follow through hence why I just do Monthly Goals
Elizabeth O. says
Goals are so much better than resolutions and they’re more motivating as well. I hope you accomplish all your goals for this coming year! Best of luck and don’t forget to have fun!
Anosa says
Thanks Elizabeth definitely will have fun whilst trying to achieve these goals
Liz Mays says
I think your goals are great. January is a great month for motivation so it’s a good month for forming new habits as well.
Anosa says
Oh absolutely it’s the perfect month though any time in the year is good too
Rose Ann Sales says
It looks like, you really wanted to reach your goals. I’m glad about it.
Anosa says
Thanks Rose I sure do
Our Family World says
I love how you make your own resolution list! I think you will achieve your goals. Good luck to us!

Jimmy & Tina Durham says
