My Year of Hustle: My Goals for 2018

My Year of Hustle: My Goals for 2018

I debated for weeks what my goals for 2018 will be. Not because I didn’t want to set them, but because I have such a driven personality that I knew that I could easily set goals that would throw me off from my plans for the coming year. My year of hustle. 

I had to ask myself and my husband, “How do I pair having a year of expansion with goal-setting for my blog, business, and home life?” And then I had to really let myself mull over the answer for a few weeks. Several in fact. Then I finally decided that I would pick only a few small obtainable goals that would inspire, refresh, and renew me.

If you’ve known me longer than a few minutes you’ll know that I’m the master at picking goals that will challenge me as a person. In fact, I generally love nothing more than regularly having a big challenge to tackle. But this year, I’m just tired of difficulty and strife. Call it a result of our nation’s current political climate or just my angst at the end of my first true fiscal year as a working blogger, I’m a little over a great many things. Any goal that involves a challenge to my sensibilities will likely exhaust me.

I chose goals that sounded inspiring and motivating to only little ole me — while at the same time peppering my annual goal list with a few tasks that would encourage me to be more exacting and intentional in my priorities.

Now, let me be crystal clear: Sometimes it’s really good to choose goals that will challenge us to work really, really, really hard. Sometimes we need to be reminded to be in a season of hustle. 

But for those of us who need to choose much simpler and smaller goals. Tailored goals. Goals that aren’t going to make us feel like we need to work, plot, execute, and delegate from dusk to dawn when we’re already tired and worn out from the minute our feet hit the floor each day.

This past year, my biggest truth was this: I was exhausted. I needed time to decompress. To come to my senses. I’m now ready to start hustling towards fulfilling more of my personal dreams and aspirations. It’s with this in mind that I set the following goals:

Personal Goals:

  • Motherhood – Continue with naturally TTC and committing to spending one-on-one, quality time with each member of my family, per week. Human and fuzzy respectfully.
  • Marriage – Set aside time for a 3-hour date night with Daniel at home each week.
  • Myself – End my workdays by 3 pm each day, read for 1 hour nightly, workout 3 days each week in my home gym, and drink two quarts of water per day.
  • My home – Consistency maintain a working monthly meal planning schedule, morning and evening routines, zero-waste living strategies, and cash envelope usage systems.

My blog, TheLadyPrefers2Save.com:

  • Post on this blog twice per week on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. 
  • Consistently send out my traditional newsletter each Tuesday morning.
  • Post a digital newsletter to Facebook each Tuesday morning.
  • Create and publish 1 e-book on savings.
  • Create an effective media schedule each week.
  • Dedicate 3 hours each weekday to blogging.
  • Set aside the last Wednesday morning of each month for an administrative day.
  • Find, maintain, and solidify a weekly standing within a blogging mastermind group.

Social Branding:

  • Expand my presence online by live streaming (on Instagram, Periscope, or Facebook Live) 1x each channel, per week.
  • Commit to a consistent YouTube uploading schedule; MWF uploads at 10 am CST. 
  • Create a separate Vlogging YouTube Channel and commit to posting on this channel each Saturday.
  • Create a weekly podcast by 2/2/18 and consistently record a weekly podcast.
  • Be better engaged in my Facebook Groups; posting in each group each day, Monday-Friday.

And that’s it! I carefully chose each of these goals considering what would be best for our family, for this current season of life, and that would encourage me to keep my commitment to make this a year of truth.

How & Why I Chose These Goals:

People often ask me how to figure out what goals to set, and how I know exactly how to decide on priorities is often by just walking around my home and taking a temperature of how my life is working, what needs addressing, and how these changes will affect my family, and myself, in the months to come. I then base my goals based on those priorities.

My current priorities are mothering, my marriage, myself, my home, and the business. With these priorities in mind, I chose an area in each of those categories that I really want to improve in and around my current routines in those same categories. Then, I polished up my goal list by turning my list into a very specific and measurable goal. Things that could clearly define my year to come.

Truth be told, at first, I felt almost a little bit embarrassed to put it out there that I had set a personal goal to end my workday at 3 pm every day. But when I was thinking about goals, I realized this was something that would not only give me the opportunity to set the temperature of my home each day before my family returns home each afternoon at 4:30 but also to give me the downtime and self-care I desperately needed.

What I hope to gain from these goals:

While I am a small blogger, someone who will always have to create meaningful content, pertinent social media coverage, and hustle to get pitch letters to wherever and whomever they need to be sent to, I still need to have a life. After all, do any of you really believe in bloggers who aren’t living lives of truth and intentionality? I know I sure don’t.

Most importantly, are the three other goals in this subsection, my true gifts to myself: To continue working on my novel, read for 1 hour daily, workout 3 days each week, and drink two quarts of water per day.

For those who may not know, I have been toying with the idea of writing about my experiences of growing up in an LGBTQ home and the aftermath of losing one of my guardians in a highly publicized hate crime at the age of seventeen. Events that shaped my early 20’s. Events that need to be written and shared with others. And this is the year that I’m holding my own feet to the fire and sharing that part of my story. My truth. While I have not come as far as I would have hopes on this goal this past year, I’ve come farther than I thought I would. I’m proud of that fact!

While as a Christian I have long feared the backlash that may come with recanting my life, however at the end of the day I just don’t care what others feel about this matter. And it’s none of my business what others think of me as well.

More importantly, I’m tired of feeling numb. I’m exhausted by the suppression. The fear of losing readers, influence, and income. The fear of offending women of a conservative nature, women who might continue to read my blog but judge me for my upbringing, for embracing my family of choice. But I’ve also learned a valuable lesson in this regard: Those women are not my tribe. Their opinions do not define me or my blog.

In all honesty, I’ve put a lot of thought and prayer into my decision to write this story. For those who likely will not stick around to see how the details of this book will unfold, I lovingly acknowledge your position. But do note: I am my story and my story is my blog.

My personal truths mean more to me than this blog. For me, 2018 will be the year of self-discovery. Of finding my blogging groove. Of being comfortable in my hustle. Not a year of self-suppression, and that’s where I will leave this sentiment for now. 

So that’s it, friends. My 5 Goals for my Year of Hustle! I hope this list will inspire you to create your own set of goals moving into the new year. Or at least, keep you coming back to see my hustle in action. And if you would like to see more of my previous goal setting posts, check these posts out here!

Now I want to ask, what are YOUR goals for 2018? I’d love to hear! Leave a comment and let me know all about them!

My Year of Hustle: My Goals for 2018

My 5 Goals For 2017 (My year of truth!)

 

I debated a lot about goals for 2017. Not because I didn’t want to set them, but because I have such a driven personality that I knew that I could easily set goals that would throw me off from my plan to make 2017 a year of truth.

I had to ask myself and my husband, “How do I pair having a year of truth with goal-setting for my blog, business, and home life?” And then I had to really let myself mull over the answer for a few weeks. Several in fact. Then I finally decided that I would pick only a few small obtainable goals that would inspire, refresh, and renew me.

If you’ve known me longer than a few minutes you’ll know that I’m the master at picking goals that will challenge me as a person. In fact, I generally love nothing more than regularly having a big challenge to tackle. But this year, I’m just tired of difficulty and strife. Call it a result of our nation’s current political climate or just my angst at the end of my first true fiscal year as a working blogger, I’m a little over a great many things. And any goal that involves a challenge to my sensibilities and true self will likely exhaust me.

So I chose goals that sounded inspiring and motivating to only little ole me — while at the same time peppering my annual goal list with a few tasks that would encourage me to be more exacting and intentional in my priorities.

Now, let me be crystal clear: Sometimes it’s really good to choose goals that will challenge us to work really, really, really hard. Sometimes we need to be reminded to be in a season of hustle. Some will need to set those kinds of goals this year, and that’s always going to be fistbump worthy.

So if you need to get out of debt, or to start that business, or to tackle that huge dream board project, do that first!

But there are also some of us who need to choose much simpler and smaller goals. Tailored goals. Goals that aren’t going to make us feel like we need to work, plot, execute, and delegate from dusk to dawn when we’re already tired and worn out from the minute our feet hit the floor each day.

So if you’re in one of those seasons of fatigue, I challenge you to choose goals that will enrich and refresh you. That’s what I kept in mind when I chose these following goals.

 

My Goals for 2017:

Motherhood – Continue with TTC and expanding our family, naturally.

Marriage – Have a 3-hour date night with Daniel at home each week.

Myself – End my workdays by 3pm each workday, continue working on my novel, read for 1 hour daily, workout 3 days each week, and drink two quarts of water per day.

My home – Consistency. In meal planning, cultivating a recipe collection, morning and evening routines, zero-waste living, cash envelope usage when shopping, and 1-hour daily cleaning schedule. 

My blog, TheLadyPrefers2Save.com — Create and publish 1 e-book on savings, create an effective media schedule each week, time block 3 hours each weekday to blogging and business activities, and double my live streaming and video production, exposure, and presence online. 

And that’s it! I carefully chose each of these goals considering what would be best for our family, for this current season of life, and that would encourage me to keep my commitment to make this a year of truth.

 

How & Why I Chose These Goals:

People often ask me how to figure out what goals to set, and how I know exactly how to decide on priorities is often by just walking around my home and taking a temperature of how my life is working, what needs addressing, and how these changes will affect my family, and myself, in the months to come. I then base my goals based upon those priorities. 

My current priorities are mothering, my marriage, myself, my home, and the business. With these priorities in mind, I chose an area in each of those categories that I really want to improve in and around my current routines in those same categories. Then, I polished up my goal list by turning my list into a very specific and measurable goal. Things that could clearly define my year to come.

 

Motherhood Goal: Continue with TTC and expanding our family, naturally. This goal is very personal to me for obvious reasons. While my husband and I both have a heart for adoption, we have decided to take some time and see where things can develop naturally on their own. With several setbacks, including two miscarriages this year, we are looking to enjoy our time together and not focus on deadlines and sorrow. I’m just not ready to give up this dream. While not wanting to not lift up and enrich the lives of those who we love in our lives now, kiddos and fuzzies alike, my husband and I are hopeful that the Lord and Mother Nature will be good to use in 2017.

 

Marriage Goal: Have a 3-hour date night with Daniel at home each week. My husband and I talked about this and asked each other, “What goal would inspire us each week? What would be a goal that would be good for me as an introvert who often feels that the world is simply too peoply out there? What change could really impact our marriage?”

After some discussion, we came up with the goal of having Have a 3-hour date night at home each week. This could be for a simple movie night. Or it could be a hey look, I’m cooking for you tonight kind of thing. It doesn’t matter what it is, what matters is that it’s at least 3 hours per week, sans kiddos, fuzzies, friends, and the internet, and it’s just the two of us.

After three years of not having a lot of purposed us time, we recently started dedicating time to spend together and it’s really been great for the health of our marriage. Yes, it required effort to make it happen, but it was so worth the effort. 

We got to get away from all of the usual responsibilities of life and just have fun together, hang out together, experience new things together, and just talk. It was so good. It’s been refreshing. Even if it’s just me hearing about my husband’s favorite new podcast or me rattling on about a new way to remove plastic from our zero-waste home. 

 

Goals for Myself: End my workdays by 3pm each workday, continue working on my novel, read for 1 hour daily, workout 3 days each week, and drink two quarts of water per day. While I know this is sort of an interesting goal, or rather goals, and you may be wondering why I would choose them. Some of you might even be thinking, “Why on earth would she pick such odd goals?”

Truth be told, at first, I felt almost a little bit embarrassed to put it out there that I had set a personal goal to end my workday at 3pm every day. But when I was thinking about goals, I realized this was something that would not only give me the opportunity to set the temperature of my home each day before my family returns home each afternoon at 4:30 but also to give me the downtime and self-care I desperately needed.

This goal is something I could use in many different ways as I cannot tell you home many times I have ended my blogging sessions only to find myself right back on my computer scheduling this or that only to turn around at it was 11pm! For me, 12-hour blogging days need to come to an end! I’m going to intentionally devote a lot of time this year to time blocking and the old adage of working smarter, and not harder in 2017.

While I am a small blogger, someone who will always have to create meaningful content, pertinent social media coverage, and hustle to get pitch letters to wherever and whomever they need to be sent to, I still need to have a life. After all, do any of you really believe in bloggers who aren’t living lives of truth and intentionality? I know I sure don’t. 

Most importantly, are the three other goals in this subsection, my true gifts to myself: To continue working on my novel, read for 1 hour daily, workout 3 days each week, and drink two quarts of water per day.

For those who may not know, I have been toying with the idea of writing about my experiences of growing up in an LGBTQ home and the aftermath of losing one of my guardians in a highly publicized hate crime at the age of seventeen. Events that shaped my early 20’s. Events that need to be written and shared with others. And this is the year that I’m holding my own feet to the fire and sharing that part of my story. My truth.

While as a Christian I have long feared the backlash that may come with recanting my life, however at the end of the day I just don’t care what others feel about this matter. And it’s none of my business what others think of me as well.

More importantly, I’m tired of feeling numb. I’m exhausted by the suppression. The fear of losing readers, influence, and income. The fear of offending women of a conservative nature, women who might continue to read my blog but judge me for my upbringing, for embracing my family of choice. But I’ve also learned a valuable lesson in 2016: Those women are not my base, they are not my tribe. Their opinions do not define me or my blog. 

In all honestly, I’ve put a lot of thought and prayer into my decision to write this story. So for those who likely will not stick around to see how the details of this book will unfold, I lovingly acknowledge your position. But do note: I am my story and my story is my blog. 

It’s also worth noting that my personal truths mean more to me than this blog. And if you don’t care for my story and my family, including my family of choice, I encourage you can unsubscribe to this blog, opt to not purchase my future book (because the book will be written), and frankly, kiss my ass. I’m a little tired of self-suppression, and that’s where I will leave this sentiment for now. So yeah, starting my novel, that’s one of my personal goals for 2017.

I am also setting the goals of reading for pleasure for 1 hour daily. It goes without saying that as a blogger you receive a lot of books to review for work, many unsolicited. This often leaves you with little time for pleasure reading. In 2017, I’m going to be uber-selective in titles I publically review and devote 1 hour daily to reading selections from my local public library (for which I’ve created a new to-read memo on my online library account this very week) and to clean out my must-read list on my OverDrive App. This also included reading at least two titles from the 2017 banned books list when it comes out in late September of 2017.

Finally, I will be working on physical self-care and improvement by way of creating a workout schedule for 3 days each week and drinking two quarts of water per day. While many days this might be catching up on Youtube subscriptions or podcasts while treadmilling, it will get done. And when it comes to water, pray for me friends, I mean… water over Diet Dr. Pepper. Sigh. It’s got to happen this year. Finally.

By the way, I’m going to be posting on my Instagram account daily in 2017, sharing some of my daily events to keep myself accountable and hopefully to inspire someone else, who may need help in the same areas as well. 

 

My home: This year I’m seeking just one thing, consistency. Consistency in meal planning and cultivating a recipe collection, for staying power when it comes to sticking with a working morning and evening routine and pushing forward with zero-waste and minimalist living, with saving for a rental property and remembering to use and bring a cash envelope system when shopping, and mandating a personal 1-hour daily cleaning schedule each weekday. This is one category I’m going to have to work at each and every day. 

My blog: In terms of blogging, my goal setting this year was once again multi-tiered. First, I want to create and publish 1 e-book on savings by summer. My second goal is to create an effective media schedule each week. This will allow me to time to accomplish my next goal, time blocking 3 hours each weekday to blogging and business activities. Something I desperately need to do. Again working smarter and not harder.

Finally, I will be amping up my live streaming and video production, exposure, and presence online. 

Since I’ve cleared my schedule of a lot of clutter, I’ll have the time to devote to creating, filming, and creating more content for my Youtube account. I’m not going to push myself to have to get it out at a certain time but I’m going to aim to consistently edit and finish a single video of 10 minutes or more one weekly on the site. We’ll see how things pan out! 

You see, for a long time I’ve dreaded being seen online by others. I’m very self-conscious about my weight. Having gone from being 115 lbs. to becoming over double this weight, has been deflating my ego. But those are my issues, my insecurities, and as much as I would love for the world to understand what PCOS, two ankle surgeries, a sedentary work schedule, depression, self-loathing, and apathy will do to one’s waistline, those are my issues.

While I’m still losing weight I can’t let the age of live streaming, blogging business streams, and chances for connection and engagement to slip out of my reach because of childish reasons. Besides, most of the people I’ve encountered online are some of the most encouraging, uplifting people on the planet. So, trolls be damned, right?  

 

So that’s it, friends. My 5 Goals for my Year of Truth! So now I have to ask, what are YOUR goals for 2017? I’d love to hear! Leave a comment and let me know all about them!

 

August Goals and Monthly Meal Plan

August Goals & Monthly Meal Plan

Good morning, savvy savers! It’s hard to believe that we are already in August. Can you believe the start of the busy back-to-school push has begun? In fact, this morning was my husband’s first day back to school to start prepping his classroom for the 2016-2017 academic year. The kiddos will start school in our district this Wednesday. By midweek, our house will be silent during the day, except for podcasts, chirping birds, and the snoring of my Shih-Tzu. And would it be terrible of my to admit that I’m looking forward to distraction-free mornings this Fall? Super excited folks, super excited!

And on that note, while I’m a little forlorn to no longer have my family here each day to help me around the house, it will be nice to get things back on schedule this month. So today, with the ideas of scheduling and organization on my mind, I thought I would share with you all my five goals personal goals for the month of August.

GoalsIn2015

 
Hello again, savvy savers! After bombing at half of my 2014 goals (post to come), I have decided to revamp my goals for this year.

Weekly Reflections & Goals For The Week Ahead!

download

 

Hello again, savvy savers! I wanted to end my weekly posts by bring the week to a close with a post about the reflections on this past week.

Reflections From This Week:

This week found my home very messy, but very productive! I have been cleaning out my coupon stockpile, to both winterize my stash as well as setting up boxes to donate to my local women’s shelter. Beyond this, I’ve been picking out wall paint, working on my yoga, and have found time to not only be ahead of schedule for work assignments, but I’ve found time to start painting again. What I didn’t find time for this week, my new cleaning schedule. I’ve been looking into a new cleaning app, and will speak more about this in the week to come! Sometime learning to accept a little dust here and there, is a chore itself. All of this has been coupled with a life-plateau, I’ve been suffering from GERD as of late, and sometimes daily activities can trigger symptoms, and so I’ve been working on getting symptoms under control. This past week, I’ve learned to work on accepting my home for what its worth, to me! 

Goals For The Coming Week:

  • Walk 1/2 mile daily.
  • Finish my Chore Planner daily.
  • Read for 1 hour.
  • Enjoy my 32nd birthday Tuesday.
  • Prepare three recipes and a freezer cooking session for the blog one day this week.
  • Finish an upcycled projects to post to the blog.
  • Finish all of my work-related projects by 6 pm daily.
  • Get dressed and wear makeup daily, even when not working.
  • Clean out my coupon binder, and start moving to my new method for organizing coupons and blog/videotape my progress for the blog.
  • Sleep seven hours a night.
  • TTC; take vitamins, continue with yoga, etc.

So what are you all up to this week? I’d love to hear about it!

Here’s to the week ahead,

Reflections For This Week:

This has been a very trying week for me personally, from family members being hospitalized, to co-workers leaving their work for me to finish, I have had to re-learn what it means to be a gracious steward this holiday season!

Though this is a work in progress, here are a few things I am personally working on:

  1. Realizing that people will fall short of my expectations, and that this is okay! This is such a hard concept for me. I grew up with the idea of seeking to find good in others, hoping that if you care for others they will care for you, and then later realizing that this may not always be the case, is so hard! 
  2. Understanding that the opinions held by family members, in terms of myself, is not a true reflection of my truth;, understanding that everyone is seeking that sweet spot in life, a niche where they can flourish is an amazing concept, but should not come at the expense of others. 
  3. Being aware that selfish, communally awkward behavior in others is just icky; sometimes even holiday cards and gifts can come dripping with slights and issues, and should still be taken in stride!
  4. Coming to terms with the idea that the disdain that others project on yourself, is a reflection on how they perceive themselves; recently a family member carelessly mentioned to me that “they did not sign-up for…this or that,”  without thinking that in my world, I had not either. Understanding that its okay to emotionally say no and walk away from toxic family members is a work in progress for me.
  5. Being Gracious. I am working on being able to be distant, yet gracious and graceful with others; its a work in progress.
  6. Lastly, knowing that its still okay to send thank you cards for gifts received, even when friends and family refer to this act as passe and antiquated! 

So, there’s a little bit of a peek into my semi-charmed little world this past week.

How have you all spent your week? How much have you accomplished? Where did you fall short? What areas of your life could have used a photoshopping glaze, instead of a keepin’ it real exterior? I’d love to hear about it! 

Here’s to the holidays,
