Quarterly Goals - Autumn 2015

Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal(s)!  I like 'em, you like 'em.  Here's how I did on my summer goals.

Summer Seasonal Goals


1. Run a Half Marathon - Check!

It wasn't pretty because of all the time off for ankle/shin/you name it issues, but I went, I ran, and I didn't die.  And I've actually got another scheduled for this weekend.


2. Filing Cabinet - Check!

Finally.  So glad to have this off my to do list.

3. Barbell Squat My Bodyweight - Check!!!

What an awesome day this was.  Squatted 205 even though my weight is down to 187.

4. Look at Houses - Fail.

We decided to defer this.  There was just too much going on and potential for career change/moving.  Next year!

5. Redesign JennWellsDesign.com - Fail.

I'm actually rethinking this, because I have a couple people who prefer my current site to the redesign, and my search rankings aren't bad so I need to make sure I don't lose that...  But I do want to brag about this other website for Enveste Real Estate, which I'm pretty proud of and will make a very nice addition to my portfolio.


6. Go to the Beach - Check!

Three times, as a matter of fact.  I went on my first ever blate in New Jersey, hung out in Rehoboth with some friends, and got married down in the Outer Banks just last month.

7. Play More Games - Eh...

This is kind of a vague goal so it's hard to say.  We had a least a couple game nights a month, but Ryan and I really don't follow through with "Friday night game night" so maybe half a point for this.


4.5/7 - :(  I've been trying to set attainable goals so I can actually, you know, attain them, but obviously I need to tweak my strategy a bit.  Sometimes I set goals that I end up not caring about later, and sometimes I don't give myself enough personal time to actually go after "non-crucial" projects.  I'll be working on both of those things in this next round.

Here's the new goals...

Autumn Seasonal Goals

  1. Finalize Australia trip w/sisters.  (I had this as "plan" but we got started earlier than I expected.  But we do need to finish booking hotels, activities and such.)
  2. Come up with a kickass idea for themed Halloween costumes this year!
  3. Pursue 3 different avenues for finding new clients
  4. Bake something
  5. Go on an adventure each month (try something new, go somewhere, meet new people, whatever!)
  6. Finish Christmas shopping!  (I'm already about halfway done, but need some inspiration for a couple people...)
  7. Finish my in-limbo craft projects.  A) Print scrapbook pages B) Trim down recipe book pages C) Draw something for one of my gift ideas D) Paint mirror frame
  8. Do just 1 Fall-themed thing!  (Apple picking, pumpkin carving, hayride, something!)

Oh, and Happy Fall everyone!

Do you make seasonal goals?  What are you planning for this fall?
