November 2017 goals marks the 11th installment of the monthly goal series I started back in 2013. I share goals that I wish to accomplish in the new month and strive to complete them. Personally I function best when I have a daily or monthly to-do list. Setting goals is a great way to plan out your life and its gives some sort of direction. I also have a strong belief that if I don’t succeed its ok to move it forward until I do.
October 2017 GOALS
October started off very promisingly, I thought I would have time for relaxation and travel times. Traveling definitely happened both abroad and locally, see local adventures of where I have been of late. For abroad I was happy to spend a few days in Barcelona and took it in a stride.
Life always has a funny way of throwing curve balls but how we react to them matters. I choose to have a positive outlook on life and work hard to achieve that including goal setting. With that in mind, here is a review of last month’s goals and how I got on.
- Submit postgraduate assignment – SUCCESSFUL, submitted the last assignment today.
- Monitor my spending – SUCCESSFUL, with was tough but done it.
- Budget for travels – SUCCESSFUL, limited my spending in Barcelona and on local adventures.
- Enjoy my mini getaway – SUCCESSFUL, I did enjoy Barcelona very much
- Spend time with family – Partial SUCCESS, spent time with my parents thought not my siblings.
I am so glad to have completed all my goals and excited to be working on the November 2017 goals. I believe in not over committing myself, I prefer to set short achievable goals.
November 2017 Goals
November has always been a busy month for everyone due to the upcoming festive period. I know it will be a super busy month but there are still goals I want to accomplish. Obviously most of them will be related to the festive period and will be helpful to me. Here are some of the October 2017 goals I am hoping to accomplish.
- Submit postgraduate {pre} assignment – I have another module at the end of the month. I have an assignment to prepare for and practice presenting it.
- Attend nephew’s 5th birthday party – So my one and only nephew turns 5 this month. We throwing him a Shrek themed birthday party and excited to be attending.
- Plan for upcoming getaway – I am off to Rome this month end and absolutely excited. I get to tick off another city from my bucketlist for 2017.
- Plan content weekly – As I said November is a busy month, I am five collaborative posts behind. I need to write and schedule as much as possible.
- Purchase Christmas presents for the family – check out my tips on how-to get the best present for Christmas.
- Socializing – since deciding to come off the dating scene, I am playing hermit more. I want to make an effort this month and spend time with my friends.
