August was a little rough. Not just for goal work, but everything. We were dealing with our sick cat, so lots of vet visits, being exhausted and getting very little sleep which messed with my head and having a few too many anxiety-inducing moments.

Last Month’s Goals

You know the drill, let’s see how I did with August’s goals

1. Get all of The Blessed to my alpha reader – NOT DONE – Urgh! This was a big ol’ fail. I started off with all the will in the world but this whole month just spiralled away from me.

2. Create all Signage for Craft Fayre Stall – ALMOST DONE – I got most of this done, but I had a specific requirement in my head of what this entailed to be completed and since I haven’t laminated the signs… It’s not a completed task. Mainly because I can’t find where I’ve “safely stored” my laminator!

3. Read 2 Books (1 has to be an ebook & both need to be unread) – DONE – Actually, I read 6 books.

4. Visit Gym 3 Times a Week – ALMOST DONE – Shockingly, I actually almost managed to go to the gym 3 times a week – even on weeks when the classes were cancelled, and I just went into the gym machine/weights area and worked out. I did miss 1 time though so technically I can’t class it as a completed – just almost completed

5. Do Extensive Work on Dark Hart – PARTIALLY DONE – I added another goal in the middle of the month. Why? Because I’m crazy. I got in a great buzz for ideas regarding Dark Hart and started doing loads of it then I scatterbrained away. Story of my life

September’s Goals

Okay, let’s see what I’m tackling for this month.

1. Finish Chapters 26 – 29 of The Blessed

Writing Goal: These chapters are killing me! They are the hardest ones to write and I’m not even sure why so I want to do nothing but carve them into stone this month.

2. Relocate My Bead Drawers

Business Goal: I am going to acknowledge that the writing goal is intense and annoying me so I need to make the other goals a little easier. I have 3 sets of 44 drawers full of beads and I want them off my desk where they eat up space and mounted on the wall.

3. Read a Book I’ve Had For Over 2 Years

Reading Goal: I am getting through my TBR pile, especially those in my Kindle really well. But I have some paperbacks that have been languishing on my shelves for a while and I want to focus on some. So at least one book this month has to have been sitting waiting for 2 year+.

4. Increase Weights At The Gym

Health Goal(s): I’m currently on week 7 at the gym, and I want to make more of an effort to increase the weights I use in the class.

5. Clear Out Boxroom Cupboard

House Goal(s): One of the last places that needs to be cleared out, decluttered and organised in our house is the large boxroom cupboard. It has a mix of random decor, old pictures, tools, cat supplies and goodness knows what else.

I’m technically losing a week this month, as my partner is off work and we are going to actually spend quality time together doing some fun stuff! That means no phones, no calls from the family asking for favours and no work! I still think I can manage these goals even with a week less 😉
