With a new month, comes new goals...
Those who have been following my blog for a while, would know just how much I love goal-setting and organising! Honestly, I have SO many planners, schedules and to-do lists dotted around my house. Usually I keep my goals written down and tick them off as I go, but this month, I've decided to share them with you!
Here's are my goals that I would like to achieve this month:
Blogging
Gain 20 more mailing list subscribers - Earlier this year, I started a mailing list which is a chatty-style update of new posts and behind-the-scenes, sent to your inbox just once a week. I'd love to see a few more subscribers join the fam and engage with you more. If you're interested, head over to my homepage and sign up, thank you!
Gain 50 more Twitter followers - Ahh, Twitter. I've been on Twitter for a couple of years but I really struggle to gain followers/friends on there. I've been making a bit more of an effort recently, taking part in comment threads and chats which has definitely helped. I'm finding it a tough one to crack! Be my friend.
Instagram? - Instagram, Instagram, Instagram? Do I, or don't I? I've been mulling this one over for months now. I love books, I love Bookstagram, so why haven't I got one? I'd really like to get started with this, only my pictures wouldn't be great and considering I mostly read digital / e-books then many of my pics would just be the same thing! Do you have a Bookstagram? Comment yours below and I'll check it out.
Improve my SEO & DA - Little fact: I actually enjoy reading up on SEO tips and tricks, and making little changes to my blog. Only trouble is, it rarely makes any difference! DA is something I also find difficult so if anyone has any tips, please let me know in the comments below!
Personal
Pass my driving test - I need to have my driving licence to get to work, shopping, etc. I currently wake at 5am (Yes, 5am!!) to get the bus to work, so passing my driving test would mean at least another hour in bed and it would make a huge difference!
Continue saving for a house deposit - I'm in my early 20s and I'm definitely feeling the itch to move out. I'm at the age where I want my own space and I'm eager to begin the next chapter in my life. I'm nearly there with my deposit, and I really hope to reach it my the end of the year! Technically, this one isn't a 'monthly' goal, but it's still something I need to work on.
They're my October goals what are yours? Comment down below and I'll see if I can do anything to help!
