I was wanting to make this post in the beginning of July, but didn’t get a chance to until now. I wanted to see how my goals that I made in the beginning of the year are going and see what I need to work on. You can see that post here: Did I Achieve My 2021 Goals? + My 2022 Goals – A Little Bite of Life
My life goals:
- I have been working out more, but not as much as I really wanted to. I’ll definitely have to improve by the end of the year.
- I have been working on my yard. It still doesn’t look great, but it’s getting there. I have bought quite a few plants and love it.
- I have done pretty good with saving money. My bank account is starting to look better, but I still want to save more.
- I haven’t done the best with keeping my house tidier, but I have been trying.
- I have been shopping small businesses on Etsy mostly but I have bought something off Mercari too. I figure I will shop a lot more small businesses around Christmastime.
- I have been cooking more, but not once a week like I originally planned.
- I really haven’t written much, and I certainly haven’t finished a book. I do write on my blog, of course, and have been getting my posts done in advance. I really want to start concentrating on the marketing side of things.
- I haven’t done any Scrapbooking this year. I do a lot for my reading journal, but not for my scrapbook. I have a lot of pictures to print before I can even work on it.
- I don’t think I’ve watched a single movie off of my shelf yet and that really needs to change.
- I have posted on my Instagram more, not quite as much as I want but more than last year.
My reading goals:
- I am almost 75% of the way through my goal of 150 books and feel confident that I will achieve this goal.
- I have written a review for every book I’ve read this year and am so happy that I’ve stuck with it.
- I am not even close to finishing off a shelf of books. I keep adding more once there’s space 😮
- I have finished a few series but not as many as I wanted. I am still working my way through quite a few of them so hopefully I get some more done by the end of the year.
- I have read a few more e-books, but they’re mostly ARCs. (Advanced Reader Copies) I want to read more off my Kindle still but I’ve been trying to tackle my physical TBR more.
- I have read 3 out of 10 classics. I highly doubt I’ll read 7 more this year but who knows.
- I have read 2 out of 5 non-fiction books. I can probably read 3 more to finish this goal off, but I guess we’ll see.
- I really haven’t read more from authors I own a lot of. I had four authors listed and have read 1/5 books for two of the authors. Definitely need to work harder at this.
- I have been doing two reading challenges. My Buzzword challenge has been going well and I have most of the letters finished in my A to Z challenge. I have five letters left to fill, but of course they are the harder letters.
Those are all my goals that I’ve been working on this year! How are your goals going? Until next time.
