March 2017 Monthly Goals, a recap of February goals and setting of new goals for the new month. I have been setting monthly goals since 2013 and it has been the best decision ever. It keeps me aware and accountable of the goals that I have set and said with the world. Obviously every month is different but my motto remains the same: if you fail continue to retry until you succeed.
Often in life we take the courage to try something new then it doesn’t work and we give up and stop. That shouldn’t always be the case and I won’t lie and say I never give up because I do. But I say only when I have tried all possible ways available to me, if that fails then I stop.
Yearly Goals ~ Quarterly Review
At the beginning of the year, I set up yearly goals which I broke into quarterly cycles to give me a chance to review. A year is a long time and so much can happen that we push our goals to the background. I found in 2016 that reviewing my yearly goals quarterly was the smart thing to do. So before we review the February 2017 goals and set the March 2017 goals, here is the first quarterly overview. Obviously I intend to mention them at the end of each quarterly but I thought March is as good a month as April.
Jan – Mar ~ New Beginnings
- Travel –
though this year travel wont be as much as 2016, I want to continue traveling. The idea for the first quarter is to book 3 trips either abroad or home.Success ~ Birmingham (home), Budapest and Cyprus (abroad) - Saving (Mortgage) –
I have been renting apartments/flats since I left home for university. 2017 is the year I would like to attempt getting on the first-time home buyer ladder.Success ~ started saving 50% of blog earnings. - Saving (Emergency Fund) –
As much as I live for the now, it’s important to have something to fall back on. Nothing like having hard times and not having anything to keep you ticking over except to borrow.Success ~ started saving (the other) 50% of blog earnings.

Great to have monthly goals. I need to start writing mine down to keep me a bit more foucsed
Hungry_Healthy_Happy says
I always love seeing how people are getting on with their goals. I was thinking of joining a choir too.
Dena Jayne says
I think it’s fine that you didn’t achieve all your goals you set, I hope this month you do actually get your car xo
Beautyqueenuk says
I think you have done well and in all fairness a few goals you couldn’t do because of the license not arriving so you know, not your fault x
Laura says
Great to see how much you’ve achieved so far with your goals! I find posts like this inspiring. Its good that you’ve been more social. I need to be less social so that I can get more work done haha! xxx
Baby Isabella says
Sorry to here your licence didn’t arrive on time, hopefully you can get the insurance done next month and collect your car x
Rachel Nicole says
I love this idea of setting monthly goals and keeping them unto date like this. I need to declutter this month too! xo
kitty kaos says
Budapest must have been amazing. Rolling goals over and not beating yourself up is so important I think. I did that with my yearly goals 🙂
I am also saving 50/50 of my blog earnings for wedding/mortgage! Great minds x
Emily Leary, A Mummy Too says
I really like the idea of rolling your unachieved goals forward every month. If you never give up on them then they’re guaranteed to get done eventually! Good luck in March.
Jemma Andrew-Adiamah says
This is a great idea to be more productive month on month, I love that they are goals and not just a “to-do list”
Spring clean will be on my list for March 🙂
Rhian Westbury says
It’s a shame you haven’t made it to church yet but I’m sure once you get into a routine it will become normal to go. Decluttering and tidying out my flat is always on my list x
Angela Ricardo Bethea says
I really love all your goals, Your so organized, I wish I can achieve my goals too.
danasia says
Decluttering my home is always on my list, and it’s always the one thing that I fail to do, so I feel your pain there! lol.
Ana De Jesus says
It is great that you have changed your collaborative fees pricing. I actually have a question about that, for you personally how do you work out how much you should charge?
Sarah Bailey says
Well hopefully your licence will arrive so that you can accomplish your car related goals this month. I think your spiritual goals are great to have, and it is important to attend to our spiritual health. You’ve already achieved many of your goals this quarter as well, and I think that is just fantastic x
lisa prince says
all the very best of luck with accomplishing these goals looks like your doing well already so far , i wish i had the motivation x
Joanna says
To be honest, I didn’t think of setting goals month by month. I think it’s a great idea. For me, I think traveling comes on the first position, no matter what month it is. If I can travel somewhere, it means it’s a successful month. 🙂
Donna says
Good to have categories for your goals, i haven’t considered that. I may follow your lead
MakeUp Fun says
Nice having some goals and it’s even more nicer having them done! So satisfying. Keep it this way!
Stephanie Merry says
I have so many blog goals do achieve this month, I just need to find some time and motivation to get them done! x
