It’s time to check in and reset. Below is a recap of how I did on my July 2020 goals—and a fresh list of things I’m aiming to get done this August. Let’s go… one messy step at a time. 🧹
✅ Previous Month Goal Recap: July 2020
- Rollover Goals
- ✅ Finish transferring 2016 videos from phone to hard drive: DONE! I finished this up, and had less videos waiting to transfer than I thought!
- ✅ Order DVD of 2016 videos: DONE! It’s in the mail and now I’m just waiting.
- ✅ Order one photo book: DONE! I killed this goal and ordered not just one, but all THREE books that I needed in order to be caught up! Why? Because I got a KILLER deal: all three for $104 total instead of the nearly $600 they would have been full price!
- Financial Goals
- ❌ No new clothes: FAIL. I shopped for more clothes again. On the bright side, I didn’t shop NEARLY as much as I did in June.
- ➖ No new books: FAIL-ish. I accidentally bought a couple of books at the Dollar Tree without even thinking. I’d consider this a half-win.
- ❌ Pay $300 on credit: FAIL. I ended up paying $205, which isn’t bad but isn’t what I was aiming for. We had some unexpected costs come up though (like Jerry flying to California for a funeral).
- Household Goals
- ❌ Get Jerry’s car fixed: FAIL. Didn’t happen due to money.
- ❌ Finish putting photos into photo albums: FAIL. I honestly forgot. Oops.
- ✅ Create April – June 2017 Shutterfly photo book: DONE! Uploaded the photos, arranged them, and used the Make My Book service — my favorite time-saving hack!
- ✅ Print and frame photos: DONE! Got it all done — printed and framed!
- ❌ Clean the spare room: FAIL. I hung up some clothes in there, but that’s it.
- Personal Goals
- ✅ Get waxed: DONE! Eyebrows and lip so fresh!
- ✅ Get Caleb’s hair cut: DONE! Yesterday… right in the nick of time!
- ❌ Go for 6 walks: FAIL. I only got 3 walks in. It’s hot as heck outside!
- ❌ Read 4 books: FAIL. Not quite there.
- ✅ Read Caleb 10 NEW books: DONE! This goal really motivated me out of our reading rut of the same old books again and again. We read lots of new books this month!
✅ Total Completed: 8/16 — not horrible, but not great.
📌 Next Month's Goals: August 2020
- Rollover Goals
- Finish putting photos into photo albums
- Financial Goals
- Pay $250 in debt (credit card and personal loans)
- Net $50 into savings
- Pay for vet visit without using savings/credit
- Do not use credit cards
- Household Goals
- Drop off to Goodwill
- Acquire, assemble, and arrange a shoe rack
- Sort through tupperware
- Buy a new sheet set
- Cull 5 books from my collection
- Personal Goals
- Reach 50 likes on my dip business Facebook page
- Go for 5 walks
- Go on a date night, just Jerry and me
- Get caught up on Big Brother
⭐ Top Priority Goal: Do not use credit cards this month. Time to break the habit again!
“One messy step at a time still moves you forward.”
Here’s to doing the best I can — and celebrating the progress, even when it’s messy.
