Goal Getter // August 2015

I can't believe it is August already! Now it's time to make fresh goals for the month.

AUGUST 2015

CAREER: 0%

• Reevaluate my career goals (0%)

Notes: Each week I'm going to be adding to this category as I take steps to figure out what I'm doing with my life.

FINANCIAL: 0%

• Pay off my Credit Card (0%)

Notes: I am keeping it simple this month. I have one BIG, HUGE financial goal and that is to pay off, as much as possible, my credit card debt.

HEALTH: 5%

• Eat out only 3 times a week MAX (5%)

Notes: So far so good, but it's only Sunday. ¬.¬

HOME:  17.5%

• Finish reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo, Cathy Hirano (35%)
• Declutter (0%)

Notes: I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this book and it's practices. I'm reading it now and I think it something Mr. LL and I can get behind. I might do a blog post about it, actually.

BLOG: 2%

• Work on blog posts for August (5%)
• Work on September planning (0%)
• Teach myself about podcasting (0%)

Notes: For the time being, I will no longer be contributing on Part Time Monster. I talked with Diana about it, and I'm just trying to figure out some things on my own blog right now.
