Thirteen Goals for 2013

2012 has come and gone and now is the time to embrace the new year with a list of goals!
We put this project together to form a community of ladies who will get goal ideas from each other as well as be a source of encouragement, helping each other reach these goals. 

What we want you to do is create a list of your top 13 goals for 2013 and then film a short little vlog (around 4 or so minutes) highlighting your top ones from that list as well as why they are there. 
Super easy, right? So go ahead my friends and blow our minds! Share what goals you have! 

Now you all know how much I love vlogging, but I'v actually been out of town for a few days and I haven't had a chance to film, edit and upload, so we're going to have to make do with a nice, old fashioned list! Hopefully for the follow up link ups, I'll be able to film a vlog.

When Katlyn first brought this idea to me, I jumped on it because she and I work so well together. But then I started making my list and I realized that 13 goals seems like a lot! Once I got going though, it was easy to figure out 13 so if you think 13 is too much, sit down and try to write a list. I bet you will come up with 13!

These are not resolutions. I hate resolutions. These are just goals that I'd like to complete.

1. My first goal for the new year is to graduate nursing school. My original goal was to graduate with a 3.5 but that's my current GPA and I'm not sure I'll be able to maintain it so I'm revising my goal. I'll be thrilled to keep my 3.5 but my goal is going to be to graduate with a 3.0.

2. My second goal is going to be to spend more quality, unplugged time with Cody. I feel like it's starting to affect our relationship when I dive for my phone when we are out to eat because it goes off or when I have the laptop open and set up when we are watching a movie at home.



3. I want to continue my nightly routine. Meaning, I want to continue to do my skincare routine and my teeth routine and all of that at night. I feel like I'm passed the time in my life where I come home from going out and immediately pass out in the bed and I'm too old to just say "I'm too tired" because it doesn't take that much energy.

4. Another goal of mine is to drink more water. Cody bought me a camelbak water bottle for Christmas that holds 24oz of water and so far it is helping so much to drink more water!

5. To go with that, I want to have a more active lifestyle. I'm hoping to work in at least 3 days a week of working out to start and then gradually increasing.

6. I want to be more intentional with friendships. I find that it's really easy to get wrapped up in my own life. Between Cody, School, and Blogging, some days I wake up and realize I haven't talked to any friends in a month.

7. A fun one is that I want to wear a different outfit everyday for a month. Right now, the plan is to do that in May!

8. Another fun one is work on a project I have with Ashley from Simply, Ashley. I'm really excited to reveal that to you guys next week!

9. Another one is that I want to have a more consistent study schedule. I really want to avoid wasting my time when I'm "studying" and use the time effectively.

10. I also want to keep better track of my sponsors. During school, it's easy for me to lose touch with them and I don't want to do that this year.

11. I'd love to learn to sew on a sewing machine. My original plan was to get one with my Christmas money but I think I'm not going to do that anymore so we will see.

12. I want to have less frivolous spending because Cody and I are planning on getting our own house and things like that.

13. I want to vlog more. This is where my Christmas money comes in. I think I want to use it for a tripod and some better lighting for my office so that my vlogs will be better quality.

What are you goals for 2013?

Nilda said...

I didn't do the vlog, because my camera died! And the one on my phone wasn't clear.

But on another note, we have a lot of the same goals which excites me. Glad to have someone to talk about them with!
