Goals for 2008

28. December 2007, 9:54 pmGoalsKin

It’s the time of year in this house where things slow down a bit. For some reason most of our Christmas Functions are a couple of weeks before Christmas, and with Hubby home on holidays things become very slow. We start to reflect on what we’ve achieved this year, and what we hope to achieve next year.

 In an attempt to be a little more accountable in the new year, here are my Goals for 2008. Broken down into different areas of my life so they’re a little more specific.

Family

  1. Enrol the girls in swimming lessons, dancing lessons and music lessons.
  2. To save for and take a family holiday for a week towards the end of the year. I’m thinking Byron Bay would be nice Cool
  3. To take at least two weekend camping trips, either with Hubby’s sister, or my cousins.

Financial

  1. To manage our money according to the spending plan we have worked out.
  2. To discuss our financial situation with a financial planner, and have a financial plan drawn up.
  3. Act on the financial plan.

University

  1. To schedule specific time for study, and use it appropriately.
  2. Maintain a minimum of credit average.
  3. Transfer to a university closer to (our new) home.

Tupperware

  1. Rejoin Tupperware in The Big Smoke, after settling in.
  2. Build to a point that I am comfortable with (at this point one party every two weeks)
  3. Break my record during Record Breaker Week

House

  1. Find an appropriate rental in The Big Smoke and settle for the rest of the year
  2. Setup and maintain new routines around the newest family member
  3. Start sorting through the 8!!! boxes of photos I’ve inherited and preserve them appropriately.

Personal

  1. Once settled in The Big Smoke, and my body is recovered, join a gym or pool and begin to regain some level of fitness
  2. Reconnect with friends and family in the Big Smoke,
  3. Find a local group and start rebuilding a social circle around an interest group (theatre, ballroom dancing or some such hobby)

Blog

  1. Build the readership of Home of Slightly Cracked Dreams to a level of 100 subscribers
  2. Investigate a niche idea for a new blog
  3. Start a new blog in the niche

That just about covers it. I have plans in place to achieve those, and I have no doubt I’ll be sharing with you my achievements through the year. Once again if I don’t achieve them I’ll just pretend they never existed Wink

 What are your goals for 2008?

    100 subscribers?????? If you manage that I will be truly in awe. Even some of the larger bloggers don’t have that!

    Fantastic goals there babe. I really should stop contemplating my navel, or the weird red lines on my leg, and think of some goals for the new year…..

    [...] thing I found with last years goals was that it was hard to focus on so many things all the time. To keep them in mind. I tried to read [...]
