#Bookishresolutions Update ~ Totally failing but I hope you are not!

Posted September 29, 2017 by Michelle in Bookish Resolutions / 1 Comment

2017 Bookish Resolutions Progress Report lets you check in every month to tell us know how you are doing with your Bookish Resolutions and keeps you moving closer to your goal. We look forward to cheering you on to success!

So how is it going?

So I haven’t been keeping up like I should be. Laura and I both agree that this year is sort of a bust for us. We plan to go back to basics next year and make it super simple with reading/blogging goals and doing however many or as few as you want. Sadly, I have not a lot of updates and only a few. I am hoping to figure it all out more next update at the beginning of November.

We started a FB Group to keep us all connected and share our goals. Plus it’s a great place to help people accomplish some goals and cheer each other on. So make sure to head on over to FB and join the group.

My Progress Report:

All new stuff is in RED

Blog Goals

  • BLOG AHEAD! – Make blog at least 2 weeks ahead at all times
    • I am working on the two weeks but so far I have been one week ahead.
    • I am a solid one week ahead, busy life has prevented it from becoming two weeks but I am trying 🙂 
    • Still one week ahead and at the moment I am ok with that but I am still working for a solid 2 weeks
  • Respond to ALL Comments & Comment back.
    • I am really working on this, I have been good so far but will start fresh March 1st.
    • Not so good 🙁 Life this last 2 months has me so crazy. Lets hope the next few months are better
    • I am trying, comments I am getting good at the reply back is hard but I am really trying. 
  • Visit at least 5 new blogs a week (ex. from the Sunday Post)
    • I haven’t done this sadly, I am having a hard enough time keeping up with visiting friends blogs, I am working on a schedule on how to visit (I might change this one in June to read just blogs and not new)
    • Not 100% but this last Sunday I actually visited a few new people and it was fun, I want to try again next Sunday (not today just got off the 24 hour readathon)
    • I am doing ok with this, I have been visiting new to me people, maybe not 5 a week but its a good number a month

Personal Goals

  • Menu Plan ~ Plan menu 2 weeks ahead for dinner and grocery shopping (time and money saver)
    • Like blog ahead, I am only one week ahead on this but I am working on it. It’s still early
    • I was doing very good but have fallen away from this because life got so busy, now that things are starting to settle I am jumping back in! 🙂 This saved a lot of time and money and I need to get moving on it again
    • I am hoping the summer will allow me to get back to this, I have been very bad. Half the year I will do better! 🙂 
    • This I plan to get back to because things are getting out of control with out money and food. 
  • Quit Smoking~ I quit on November 20, 2016  – I need to stay quit this entire year. (NO CHEATING)
