July was interesting 🙂
It felt a lot worse than it actually was.
But actually, when I stopped and did a proper review writing it all down, I realised that I actually got a lot done.
This is the point of doing a monthly goals review – to stop and notice the things you did do, instead of only the things you didn’t.
Just a few highlights:
- we had a wonderful family holiday in Ballito – lots of good food, walks, times of connection and reading
- we moved house (!) – I think if we did nothing else this is AWESOME 🙂
- I met up with 5 different friends, all one-on-one
- I read 8 books, none of them audible books. I bought 3 books on Tuesday morning because this month is a normal working month, not one where I take 2.5 weeks holiday.
- I got my hair done. My appointment was moved out due to the holiday and move, and you know how you can’t WAIT to get your hair sorted again? Yes, that was me 🙂
- My tax was done!
A few goals for August:
- Sell old house (please pray – the pray without ceasing praying – for God to send people who will love that house and who can afford it)
- Organise handyman to put up shelves and get all our photo frames up
- Write the paying off the house post – this may be more than 1 post, depending on how much I have to say.
- Participate in #AugustBreak2016 on Instagram. I think this is my third year and I love it. I enjoy the prompts, the community and it’s a good time of year for me as I’m feeling reflective (it’s my birthday on Saturday!) and the weather is still cool enough to wander around getting nice photos.
- Organise July photos and select photos from Ballito holiday for printing.
- Write for 20 minutes a day.
Over to you.
What are you going to read, what are you going to listen to and what will you do to keep yourself sane this month?
And a very happy birthday to Terisha who started out as a reader and has now become a friend!
If you only moved house you win in my book! I love that we got together.
that’s what I’m thinking too 🙂
Thanks Marcia,
July was not really a very productive month for me. Way too many changes happened in my life. I struggled to keep up both physically and emotionally. But I have many plans for August. I did my goals in my bullet journal and am looking forward to better month.
Hope you enjoying the build up to your special day!!!
Thanks so much!
I agree on July – let’s catch up and chat properly (thanks for your email!), and show each other our bullet journals 🙂
July was good family time. I got to snuggle with Madison and bond with my sister. I also had a FANTASTIC birthday and many friend dates. It ended on a terrible note when Joel got sick! August has been crazy because I had surgery and had to plan for my life to go on while on bedrest.
The only thing that I want to accomplish this month, is Audible planning my 38th year, sorting out a proper savings plan and SARS. And I want to finish knitting one item, organise knitting stuff and read just ONE BOOK. I haven’t been reading for ages!
Yes! for the plentiful family time!
You can do it 🙂 🙂
