This is not the first time I have set goals for a quarter. If you’ve been following my blogs for the past year, you know that I have not been the best at actually achieving the goals I set. I want that to change, so I’m changing up how I’m going about this.
What I’m Doing Differently
- Make less specific goals in case my plans change
- Posting goals on social media for extra accountability
- Allowing for flexibility in case life becomes too chaotic
- Setting up a reward system
- Posting easy to follow updates on social media
My Goals
- Blog once a week
- Read 10/30 books on my owned TBR list
- Write three short stories
- Submit a short story to a magazine
- Get 1,000 followers on Instagram
- Get 1,000 followers on Tik Tok
- Get 1,000 followers on Twitter
- Host two author interviews for podcast
- Outline fantasy novel
- Get at least 50% through a Masterclass
- Learn to draw people so I can make fanart
- Post 3x a week on bookstagram
- Try vss365 on twitter twice a week
- Try “morning pages” every day for a week
- Outline the fantasy novel using two different methods
- Get podcast onto Apple Podcast and Goodpods
- Get 30 subscribers onto my email list
- Read at least five of my ARCS
- Finish a masterclass
- work out 3x a week to help with creativity
There are all my goals! There’s a lot (enough that I may not get to them all) so I’m going to have different awards for each milestone I meet. I’m going to make three milestones for every five goals I complete. For the first five, the reward will be a new book (or notebook). For the next five, the reward will be an art print or poster off Redbubble or Etsy. For the next five (15/20), I’m going to reward myself with some makeup. And, if I manage to make all of my goals, I’m going to reward myself with a bookish sweatshirt!
