Pulse for July 2017

The beginning of the second half of 2017 is here. Whoop whoop!!!!

Started it off with a friend’s wedding and could not write my goals for July post yesterday because I got home really tired.

If feels so good to be in good health, content and grateful…for the past months and the present. 

Very quickly, here’s how i fared with my goals in June:

Blog Scheduling : I pretty much followed the four posts a day schedule except the week I was really busy with family engagements. I like the effort I put in.

Health Goals: I am going to need something more than just writing a ‘to-do’ list to motivate me. June started with a family engagement that has me breaking most of the health rules I planned. I had a lot of meat, carbohydrate, fizzy drinks all thanks to hosting a party. Sigh…how can you overlook all those delicious delicacies when you are the host and there’s do much food in the house. For my health goals, I didn’t try as much as I would have loved too. I did have my green tea ‘almost’ daily tho..especially when I resumed work again.
Read paper back books: I grabbed one of le hubby’s books and read on some days. Not quite 2 hours daily but I tried. However, I feel I wasn’t really interested in the book I read so I have another strategy for July.

That sums up my performance with June goals. Now here’s what I have planned for July:

Post Scheduling and Pictures

I have always liked to write on impulse. This is why I find it difficult to schedule post. However, I realised that if I had planned for the blog before my trip, I would have had some posts already scheduled. In July, I plan to start writing posts ahead of the day it should be published. 

I now see the importance of keeping a blog planner but I had no idea where I could get one immediately so improvised. I got a diary and touched it up a bit to suit my need. I can make use of the blog diary then get a proper planner next year.

Read Daily

I mentioned that I actually read a little in june but my heart was not really into it. I’m guessing the reason is because I didn’t pick the book myself.

To this effect, I plan to visit a book store and pick some books that interest me. Let’s see how things pan out if I get to choose a book myself.

Personal Development

Lately, I’ve been itching to write an exam or just be in a classroom. I plan to look out for any course session that will not interfere with my work period. This might not happen in July as it will have to involve a bit of saving but the thought is laid on the table waiting for execution.

Health Goals 

I guess this is going to be continuous for me as one never really meets his/her health goals in one trial. I plan to keep at having a balanced meal each time I eat, have lots of water and green tea daily, exercise and relax when u can.

‘Favourites’ Post

I jumped on a ‘favourites’ post on the last day in June and I think I enjoyed writing it. I have always thought my content does not allow me do my own mini photo sessions but well i was able to take pictures of my favourite things in june and shared them on the blog. 

I plan to write a ‘favourites’ post at the end of July 2017 God willing.

These are my goals for July 2017. Quite realistic yea?

  3. I think I need to get started with my goals. Ahhhh…how do you even do it? I plan mine diligently but then the next day I’ll forget all about it. I have no self-discipline to be honest.

  4. I like this idea of journaling in monthly goals and tracking progress.. Just recently came across a podcast for blog development and planning called “Learning with Leslie”. Found it so useful and he also has a free blog planner on his site.
