Goals Update/Monthly Check In

 Hey Y'all!

Here's a reminder of the goals I've set this year:

http://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/2023/01/new-years-goals.html

Yearly Goals, How am I doing?

Health: Stay Healthy.

1) 2,500 steps per day!

Not up to 2500 daily, but making great progress. I'm around 1500-2000!

- Walk outdoors, WATP videos, add in Yoga

2) 5 Servings of fruit/veg per day!

Doing better, but still need to add in that morning smoothie. Most days are at least 3, which is an improvement.

- Buy more fresh, smoothies in the AM, side dish w/ lunch

3) Daily Vitamins & Water!

I seem to forget most Saturdays, but moving it to the first thing in the AM has helped.

- Make it a habit to take first thing in AM.

Personal/Misc: Stay Happy.

1) Read 2 books per month min!

So far it's averaging more like one, so room for improvement.

- Schedule time for it, I have a library of unread books

2) Less screen time! (TV, TikTok)

If I could do better here I would have more time for other things. The daily plan is made, just needs implemented.

- Make a daily schedule, plan for it

3) Maintain a clean & organized home!

This is going really well, the plan of a room per day really helps.

- Plan! "Room of the day!"

Business: Stay Growing.

1) Continue M,W,F Blogs, Tu, Th, Sa TikTok posts!

Check!

- Plan ahead, work on blogs earlier than day of, new schedule

2) Post new items to FB & goimagine twice monthly!

More than this month, I'm trying to get to my plans limit (25) by the end of February.

- Schedule for those posts: 1st & 15th, following Monday if a Sunday.

3) Put myself "out there" more!

Hasn't happened yet, but I've also not taken the initiative beyond posting my card on community bulletin boards.

- Social network with other businesses, post consistently, hand out cards, etc

4) Utilize YouTube & other social media more!

So far, I'm doing well with this goal. I am up "followers" on every platform!

- In addition to blog post & TikTok, 1 YT video per month, and 1 additional Instagram post

January Goals:

1) Health: Fix dinner at home 5 x per week!

- Include; fruit or veg, protein

2) Misc: Deep Clean Bathroom!

- Remove everything, scrub down, paint.

3) Business: Work on FB & GI shops!

- revamp, new items, remove old. Goal for month- 20 listings

Full success! We're eating at home more, therefore more healthy (and saving gas, and money). I got the bathroom cleaned, and hubby & I  painted last weekend . Currently the goimagine is at 19 listings, I'll get it to 25 by end of Feb. Some listings are a bit Valentine's specific and will come down, and be replaced. Facebook is a bit behind, but will be to 20 by next week.

I also added some craft specific goals, not listed in the original blog:

Goals for this year are-

1) Start using what I have, shop less for new. (Seriously, I could probably stock a 16ft section with vinyl alone, and easily a 4 ft section each of paper, stamps, the list goes on...)

2) Create at least 2x a week.

3) Maintain an organized craft room by putting away materials as that part of the projects is finished.

4) Declutter books shelves, Donate. (There are 2 very full bookshelves in my craft room. I love to read, but don't need to keep them all.)

5) Come up with a better plan for scraps of vinyl. (I hate to throw them away, but I currently have WAY TOO MANY scraps. They take over 2 drawers, a file folder x2, and a basket. I do search them first when crafting, but there are still too many.)

So far (3wks in) I'm making progress with the goals, especially 2 & 3. I plan to get to #4 after March, the basement needs to come first. 1 is a work in progress, I'm doing better- but I know there's more progress to be made. Goal 5... I still don't know. Any ideas? Let me know in the comments below!

FEBRUARY GOALS:

1) Health: Morning Smoothie, 4x weekly!

~ I already have everything I need to make this possible.

2) Misc: BASEMENT!!! (This is a 2mo goal- Feb & March)

~ Use the bins to separate Outland's Resale, listed and nots. Shelve our personal belongings. Clean. Paint finished side. 

3) Business: Network 2x with others outside of social media.

~I have a few ideas of what/where & plan to start there.

Have a great day,
