Goals That Aren't Written Down Are Just Wishes

After yesterday's post, I started mentally setting a few goals for July, and I figured I'd share them with y'all and link up with Meghan's Go For The Goal series.



So, there are so many things I'm wanting to work on and improve, but there's no way I can do it all in a month. I figured I'd make a list of about 10 goals. That seems attainable, right? M'kay, here goes.

  1. Stick with the Cardboard Box Diet (#cbdiet). I plan on linking up with Lauren every Thursday for an update. I know that this may not be of any interest to y'all, but you never know! If you are joining in, let me know!
  2. Keep exercising!! I'm not doing a whole lot right now, but every little bit helps, right? Plus, I learned that a 15 minute dance party with M burns over 150 calories! Nice, huh?
  3. Check at least 5 things off of our Summer Bucket List. It's not that hard, J.
  4. Blog at least 3 times a week. Preferably more.
  5. COMMENT ON BLOGS!! This is a huge one. I'm so bad about reading blogs from my phone and not commenting. If I read it, I should comment. Unless the post makes me want to call the blogger an idiot. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
  6. Speaking of comments, reply to all comments I receive. Unless they're spam, or if I can't reply back by email. We can all agree that you should have your email linked back, right? OK, moving on.
  7. Finally get my blog planner bound or organized in a binder. (Speaking of, if you need a blog planner, Carly's your girl. She's got mad skills.)
  8. Organize M's playroom. Seriously y'all, it's ridiculously out of control.
  9. Get more sleep! I've been averaging about 5 hours a night, and I'm definitely paying for it the next day.
  10. Get our laundry situation under control. How a family of three goes through so much laundry, I have no idea, but I feel like it's going to be the death of me. My tombstone will read "J, wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Horrible laundry do-er. Which is how she died." Any tips and tricks for not spending every waking moment doing laundry, are greatly appreciated.
So, there ya have it. I feel like I can handle all of them, but we shall see. Hopefully the ever growing pile of laundry doesn't devour me before I can check everything off!

What are some of your goals for July? Are you linking up?

These are all great goals! You can totally do them all. The last one is absolutely something that I can attest to. I don't even have three in the house. How two people can produce as much laundry as we do scares me sometimes. I sometimes tell Tim that I feel like I'm marrying a dirty laundry factory. I can do laundry every single day and not keep up. I wish I had tips...

I totally agree with your title; if I don't write them out (and post them!) I forget about them. Also this link up helps to hold me accountable!

This may be a dumb question, but what is a blog planner?

I love your list- it seems like a great mix of organization and play! (Especially the Summer Bucket List!)Good luck!

Eh, I almost hate it when people start being proactive and gung-ho. Then it means that I'm supposed to feel motivated to do the same :/ Awesome goals, I'm sure they will help organize your life a little more and make it more enjoyable ta boot. Laundry is crazy insane...without el hubbo here, I'm down to a load or two every 1.5-2 weeks. Ridiculously easy right? When he gets home, it'll be back up to 5 or 6 every weekend. I got so annoyed with doing laundry all day on Sundays, that now I pick one laundry group a day...so colors, whites, or jeans, or whatever gets done on tuesdays, others on wednesdays, etc.

Sorry for the ridiculously long comment.
