My big three goals for 2019 were:
Start A Blog- CHECK! Not only did I start one, I maintained it all year. I didn’t miss one weekly post. I’m super proud of myself for setting this goal and following through on it consistently. It can be really hard to meet self-imposed deadlines when no one is holding you accountable, so I am so happy I came through on this one!
Take A Big Trip With My Husband- CHECK! We celebrated our first wedding anniversary in Ireland and it was incredible! I am so happy that we made this happen this year.
Remake my Routines- I am realizing that this was more of a resolution than a goal- it’s not something that you can simply check off of a list- this is more of a work in progress. I do feel like I’ve settled into my routines over the past year, but I still want to continue to make them even better and more impactful for my life.
My other goals were to:
Curate my home. I did spend time decorating our house this year, but progress was much slower than I anticipated. I was hoping to tackle a room a month, and that was honestly just unrealistic considering all of the other things I was working on at the moment. I am continuing this project into next year.
I want to make a photo book and a gallery wall of our wedding photos. I have completed a gallery wall for our hallway and I have another one for our wedding 50% done.I have outlined a photo book and will carry these projects into next year.
Take some online courses. The intention behind this goal was to learn more about managing an online business and social media. While I do think that I did that, it was through other means than online courses.
My 2019 Reading List. CHECK! I read four of these five books, as well as several work-related books too! I am going to continue this in 2020, with my 2020 reading list.
I want to explore my style and have more fun with my wardrobe. This was a fun part of my year! Taking note of clothes that I really love and feel good in was a great way to make decisions on what I was buying to put into my closet and what to take out fo my closet. I will do more of this next year as well.
Looking back on the year, I’m happy to say that I accomplished some of my biggest priorities and I think the biggest thing that I am taking away from the year is that it’s better to focus on a smaller number of items that are most important so that you can see them through to completion as opposed to having a ton of goals that get partway done. I will be taking that lesson learned into 2020 for sure.
Cheers to a new year and a new decade!
