October is the point where people definitely think, “what’s the point?”
There is a point. Trust me.
If you get just one thing done every month, that’s 3 things this year.
3 things more than you would have got done!
Now if you’re even the slightest bit more ambitious than that, you can end 2016 well.
So forget about the first 9 months in the past and look forward to the rest of the year.
Answer this question:
What would have to happen this month for October to feel like a good month?
- a date with friends
- sorting something out at home – organising
- buying something for your home
- making a budget
- increasing your bond repayment
- making plans for Christmas
Write down 3 things (goals) for October and stick that note up somewhere. Even better, write those things on 1 – 2 post-it notes and put one on your bathroom mirror and one at your desk or in your bullet journal.
Will you do it?
Now onto some of my goals for October:
- Learn and perfect the dance for my Spanish dance exams – I have 5 (very short) weeks left… but I do know 1/3 now.
- Book December leave and decide where we’re doing for Christmas, etc.
- Decide if I want to do a workshop this year – either on Love Languages or Bullet Journalling
- Schedule socials for the rest of the year
- Buy new bed
- Do whatever it takes to sell house
Care to share some of your goals?
PS Theses photos are from last year – there are almost no jacarandas in Johannesburg due to the drought 🙁
My October goal is to finish all assignments for my diploma. Once the diploma is done I can get cracking on my research. Also, mostly just survive the month.
YES! A nice meaty goal. Surviving is a good one too!
YES! I’m cutting down on SM in a big way. I’ve set up a number of friend dates and I’m going away this weekend with my family. I’m also re-looking at money things. Savings, budgets and possible coaching. I’ll also be booking December leave, paying for December’s holiday and going through the stationery so I can buy only what the kids need for next year.
Finances is a big focus for you as is family! Great goals 🙂
