Blog + Creative Goals 2016

I have so many things that I want to do this year! I am really excited for all of the possibilities! Here are some of my ideas

 Blog Goals

1. Comment on more blogs - I want to be more active in the blogging community and I'd love more blogger friends! 
2. Refresh my blog - I am thinking of changing the name of this blog to be more in line with what I want to focus on and I'd love to refresh the look of it 
3. Blog more about my day to day life 
4. Monthly photo an hour posts (I love these!)
5. Monthly recap/favourites (I failed at this in 2015!)  

Creative Goals

1. Create everyday - simple, I want to paint, craft, bake, sew, etc every single day this year (and share here of course) 
2. Try new things - I want to try out more paper crafts, embroidery, needle felting, and anything I can think of!
3. Step up my snail mail - I want to make more of my own stationery and make my letters look better 
4. Potentially start a YouTube channel - this I am unsure and nervous about doing it, so I may need to work up to it!

Do you have any similar goals?! I'd love to hear them :-)

2015 Recap + 2016 Goals

 

2015 Goal Recap 

1. Sleep better –  I didn’t do too well with this goal, I think it’s something I need to work on more
2. Eat better and cook more – I think I did cook more but the eating better thing didn’t happen unfortunately!
3. Focus on my blog – I think I did well with this! I was posting consistently so I am happy
4. Start exercising more – haha nope
5. Finish my course – not only did I do this but I finished another course and a bridging course! Hells yeah!
6. Find volunteer work at a vet clinic and get into my vet nurse course – done and done! This is the thing that has made me most proud of myself this year!
7. Go on regular coffee dates with myself – I did this at the beginning of the year but the last time I did it was probably in March so that’s a fail
8. Be more organised – done! I was definitely organised this year!
9. Goodreads challenge - 24 books – Fail. I wasn’t feeling it this year!
10. Daily instax again – done! YAY! 

Overall, I didn't do too badly but there is definite room for improvement! My 2016 goals are pretty similar...   

 2016 Goals

1.  Work hard at TAFE – I really want to do well in my vet nursing course but I have a real problem starting assignments and studying, and this course sounds very difficult and time consuming, so this year I really want to focus on my studies!
2. Be healthier – this is an all-rounder including sorting out a sleep schedule, exercising more frequently, and improving my diet 
3. Continue being organised – I did well with this in 2015 and I want to improve even more!
4. Be tidier – I am the worst at keeping our home clean and tidy, and an untidy home really stresses me out so keeping it tidier is going to help me in every part of my life! 
5. Improve our home – this isn’t about keeping it clean, it’s about doing things that need to be done, such as gardening and painting things or fixing things!
6. Daily instax – for the third year in a row! I love doing this 
7. Goodreads – since I failed so hard last year, I’ve set myself a smaller goal of 12 books 

I decided to make less goals than I did last year to make it easier on myself. I also have blog goals and I've chosen a word to guide my 2016 so I will be posting about those soon. Do you have any goals for this year?

Happy New Year 2016!

Happy New Year!

2016! It's here and I cannot believe it! I have a lot of plans for this year, but for now here are some things that happened in 2015...

• I finished Certificate II Animal Studies
• I started and completed Certificate III Animal Studies
• I started working at a vet clinic and was accepted into  Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing (I start in February!)  
• I started a small pet sitting business in October (and I've already had a few bookings and am booked out for January!!)
• I spent time with amazing friends                                                                                                   

I had a pretty awesome year, one of the best parts as always is Nathan who continues to be the most supportive and amazing person in my life! Oh and I took way too many photos of my pets

 

I hope 2016 is amazing for you! I will be back next week with a 2015 goal recap and 2016 goals post!
