2019 Goals | November Recap and December Goals

Wow, November went so fast! I feel like a did a really good at checking back to my goals over the month, making sure taht I was keeping them in mind. But time went so fast, I feel like I barely had a chance to work on them. That being said, I feel accomplished in my goals this month.

Reach out to friends
There’s quite a few that I want to make sure to say hello to and check in with this month.
I didn’t reach out to as many people as I wanted to, but I feel good that I tried to connect to friends this month.

Be direct
This is a weird one, but I feel like it goes this the first. I want to make sure to be direct and forthcoming with people this month. Gossip may not be the exact right word, but being direct doesn’t quite cover it.
I was mindful of this goals this month, but I could keep improving on it.

Give calendar blocking another try
I want to see if this productivity/organization method can help me in my day to day.
This goal was really more for my work days and I did use calendar blocking there. This method is helping me stay on track and I think in the long term will help me achieve my goals at work. But it is something that will take more than a month to become incorporated fully into my routines.

Cook at home -A LOT. Eat out LESS.
I think this one speaks for it’s self.
I feel really great about how much we ate at home this month. Especially compared to last month. I want to continue this for next month and into the new year as well, but I feel like we are now in a good routine and do not need to include it in my goals.

Creative challenges
I need some challenges to keep me on my toes creatively. My plan is to look for these methods this month, and hopefully put some in play.
This was probably the goal that was the least worked on. I didn’t take much time to fully sit down and think about artistic challenges. Some ideas did come my way, but I felt like I was least mindful about this goal.

Now on to December! The last month of the year and I want to make it all about making habits for 2020.

Make 10k steps every day!
Walking is something that I know helps me improve my depression, maintain my weight, and keeps me active and limber especially in cold weather.

Post to insta every day (hopefully twice a day!)
I only posted 12 times in November - sad! I like to be able to look back and see more of each month.

Create an image every day
This a challenge that my husband set for us. Let’s see if this can kickstart some creativity in our house.

10 min meditate, stretch, exercise
I know even only 10 minute a day of these routines will help me a lot this month.

Be mindful and plan for the coming year
I want to use this month to reflect on 2019, and plan for 2020.

What are you plans for December? Do you use this time to gear up on making routines, or take it easy until the new year?
