SEPTEMBER 2015

CAREER: 0%

• Design/Build a website for side hustle (0%)

Notes: Ugh, jeez. Last week I was planning on at least getting started on the web design. I think I'm letting fear hold me back. I need to suck it up!

FINANCIAL: 30%

• Pay off my Credit Card (30%)
• Deposit all the change in/around the house (30%)

Notes: OMG. So I went to the bank last week with two heavy ass jars of change, only to discover they no longer use the change machine (which I could then deposit without having to pay any of those change machine fees). So I came back home with a ton of coin wrappers and the two jars. So far, I've only managed to get one jar in the wrappers. -_-

HEALTH: 12.5%

Goal Getter // August + September 2015

First, I thought I'd review August, then set goals for September this time. I'm a day late with this post, but I better late than never!

August:

AUGUST 2015

• CAREER: 79% – In August, I did a lot of soul searching and came up with a side business that I think will bring me renewed passion in my career and some much needed extra income.
• FINANCIAL: 30% – I really wanted to pay off that credit card, but when I sat down to do so, the balance was a lot higher than I had anticipated. I'm going to keep plugging away at it though. Sucks, though, because it was interest free until September. :(
• HEALTH: 100% – We've been doing really good about eating at home. I hope we can keep it up.
• HOME: 50% – I still need to declutter, but that is top of my list for September.
• BLOG: 99.9% – August's posts are done, September's post are planned, and I released my first podcast! The only reason this isn't 100% is because I have been having trouble figuring out how to get the podcast on iTunes.

September

CAREER: 0%

• Design/Build a website for side hustle (0%)

Notes: Things are about to get expensive. But you have to put the capital into these early stages of any new business. That's just how it goes.

FINANCIAL: 30%

• Pay off my Credit Card (30%)
• Deposit all the change in/around the house (0%)

Notes: Still keeping the credit card goal on here, slowly trying to chip away at it.

HEALTH: 0%

• Eat out only 3 times a week MAX (0%)
• Gradually cut back on smoking (0%)

Notes: Mr. LL and I are really trying to quit smoking. We've worked out a system that I think will give us a better chance than just going straight up cold turkey.

HOME:  0%

• Declutter: clothes (0%)

Notes: My hope is to add to this list as I complete tasks. 

BLOG: 0%
