My goal is to make a living off of blogging. I don’t have to make 100,000 a month or anything but just enough to replace my current income would be great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your goal with us.
DeleteGreat tips. I love to write things down and break down larger tasks. One of my goals for the new year is to create a bigger picture sort of goal list and then break that into smaller sections for the to-do list!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary.
DeleteI soooo love making (and nailing) goals! You're absolutly right about habits. They're not easy to form, but are rewarding in the long run. My personal win - I've managed to become a morning person (and I was a true night owl before). This was such a game-changer for my productivity!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I'm so glad to finally be on track with goal setting!
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's good to hear. Share us how you did it!
DeleteA-grade procrastinator right here. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteI believe in writing down the goals. That's so much of help! Great tips.
ReplyDeleteThank you Arfa
DeleteThis is very helpful! I am certainly a list keeper, but love procrastinating! Must work on that.
ReplyDeleteI love multitasking which is bad. I always end up spreading myself thin. great article!
ReplyDeleteI also love to multitask but only with household chores. I do batching for blogging tasks.
DeleteGreat tips! I love writing my goals down, for I feel when I do, they become real. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa. Writing it down is very effective.
DeleteGreat post here. I love this post. Goals must be simple, smart and easier. When its too complex and complicated it will look unachievable. I achieved a few goals i set this year. Its because i made it simplier and look for ways to achieve it.

Writing down my goals has been super helpful. It holds me just a bit more accountable, I feel like.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are really good tips. Thanks for posting. I do need some help with my goals too.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to focus on smaller goals and take the smaller victories. I think I focus on the enormous ones and I get overwhelmed by everything that has to be done to achieve that goal. Great read, thank you!! <3
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect to read right now as I'm really spending time this year organizing and planning out my 2018 because I have some major goals and I'm sick of not doing the things I want for several of the reasons you list -- esp procrastination and no specific game plan!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your suggestion of using a separate planner. I wasn't planning on doing that but now you have me thinking that might be a good idea!
I just need this, i's time to review the year and get more organized.. I'll definitely start using a planner
ReplyDeleteI agree. I have so many irons in the fire, then get frustrated when I can't finish them all. I reduced my hours so I can spend more time building my business for 2018. My mini goals is to master Tailwind and Pinterest so I can grow my business. I'm giving myself 90 days to do it. Next quarter is enroll in course. I want to have more than one income stream so I'm not depending on a "job" to meet all my needs. If I make the money I do now as full time employee I'll be satisfied, by the big goal is to make 6 figures within 3 years. Thank you for posting this. It just reaffirms what I know I need to do.
ReplyDeleteThose planners are really cute! I think when it comes to setting goals I can be a bit over-ambitious sometimes and that's my downfall. I need to set smaller realistic goals!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! The planner is super cute too! :)
ReplyDeleteAlways write down your goals and make action steps to complete them - if you don’t have a plan it’s always going to be just a dream! Great post! Love the idea of a planner too!
ReplyDeleteThis was just what I needed to read. I am that person who makes too many goals and then at the end I feel so bad about myself because I was not able to achieve them.
ReplyDeleteSince I have been writing goals down and doing mini goals I have been getting so much done, I love it when a plan comes together. Great post and brilliant tips
ReplyDeleteHoping to find a solution to snooze button next year. Nice post, very relatable

ReplyDeletebreaking bad habits can be so difficult! This is great advice and I love the planner idea. Setting goals is so important and helps keep you on track. loved reading this :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips. I can see myself procrastinating way too often. I have a planner, but love the idea of using a separate one for my goals.
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful to think and reflect on with the new year right around the corner. One area of improvement I'm going to be working on is setting more personal goals and doing a better job at tracking progress and milestones.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to make a living doing what I love, blogging. I didn't know it was possible, but know I see.
ReplyDeleteYes! I write everything down. It is such a huge help for me to see it all out in writing.
ReplyDeleteI am finally understanding the idea of using 2 planners. This year I have a daily digital calendar and just ordered a goal setting planner last week. I can see the value in having both, like you’ve discussed. Thanks for reminding that they both are equally important.
ReplyDeleteI must really learn to set small goals and other small things that hinder my efficiency. Really needed to read this.
ReplyDeleteThis is all great information! I am so bad about having too many projects at once which sets me up to not reach my goals because I have way too many of them. Ive found that organizing better and making lists helps me to slow down and appreciate smaller goals.
ReplyDeleteI have three planners and trying to use just one. One planner is my daily do, another is my post schedule and the other is my year/income
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I love your posts, they always remind me that I need to stay on top of being organized! I have a planner for bills/finances and I am working on putting together one for my blogging!
ReplyDeleteI have set myself man goals which are mainly concerned with how I run my business and where I'm going to start trading in 2018, I've put it out there into the universe so I know it will happen. I've even mad myself a wall planner by the door so i see it every time as book forms didn't work too well for me. My main goal next needs to reduce my social media time! Still working on that one with little success!
ReplyDeleteThese are all really awesome tips. I have like four planners, I use one for personal goals, one for manifestation, one for daily gravitate and the other one is to have everything down and organized. I like to set daily goals, monthly ones also and then bigger ones for the year.
ReplyDeleteI have a few goals I am working on for the new year. These are great tips. I think it's important to set realistic goals and to create a plan on how you're going to achieve those goals.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for 2018 year is to start going to gym. I've been thinking about it for a long time and I still do not know what exactly is being precluded.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of these great tips! I definitely find myself overcommitting, then missing goals.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination does hinder us from achieving our goals. Thanks for this motivationg post.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something I need to read. I am bad about procrastinating.
ReplyDeletePerfectly timed post as we are moving into New Year's resolution time. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteprocrastination is my nemesis! I swear i am terrible at it.
ReplyDeleteMy goals are what I like to call baby steps. Instead of looking at the ultimate goal I take baby steps towards it. I write down tasks for the day ensuring I complete every one of them. I am in the process of publishing my debut novel, the contract has been signed with the publisher, we are now editing. getting to this stage took many baby steps.
ReplyDeleteMy bad habit is taking on more work than I can actually accomplish. This comes from years of working outside the home with minimal distractions. Now that I am no longer working outside of the home and have two young boys to care for I have to learn to take on less work. In time I hope to settle into a better routine and schedule in order to make some extra income from blogging.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely trying to hit snooze less this year, and so I can get in the habit of getting to work earlier. I can get so much more done that way!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that all these are really well thought out and helpful. Perfect read for starting s new year and making sure to leave it feeling accomplished.
ReplyDeleteI love your simple steps to goal achievement. Getting rid of bad habits should probably be the first goal, and in reading your short list, I recognized that I do a couple of them, especially snooze the alarm!
ReplyDeleteMy most immediate goal is to attend the Epiphany celebration tomorrow and write a blog post about it.
I'll keep these in mind this year and hopefull I'll overcome procrastination.It's a hard struggle.lol
ReplyDeleteGreat steps! Perfect for beginning a new year.
ReplyDeleteI think goal planner is an amazing tool that helps improve motivation for the job that is to be done. I have a small notebook where I make travel plans and it has been amazing so far.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination has always been my obstacle to overcome. There is something inside me that waits until the last minute for everything. It's really hindered my progress in life, and I've missed out on a few things because of it.
ReplyDeleteI think bad habits can totally hold you back, it is sheer will power that makes you finally overcome them.
ReplyDeleteI've started using a habit tracker in my bullet journal over the past six months and I find it so helpful! It's way easier for me to replace bad habits with good ones when I have a system for holding myself accountable.
ReplyDeleteI need this post so badly, I am awful for procrastinating, infact it's now gone midnight and almost 1am as I did nothing I should have today and I'm now trying to play catch up!
ReplyDeleteIt is really important that we take the time to break the bad habits that are holding us back. These are really great tips.

ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I am a bit of a procrastinator. I need to work on that this year.
ReplyDeleteI have so many goals that I feel overwhelmed that I can't accomplish them all now. Unfortunately, that sometimes works against me, and I can't get anything done. Writing them down and scheduling my time has helped significantly.
