In the first month of July, I published an article wherein I shared my Target Goals for July. And for today, I am going to review whether I succeeded in doing it or it's the other way around.
In setting goals, we shouldn't just keep on setting and listing. But rather, I do believe that we should reflect on it too. Goals that were just set remain as goals. We shall take action!
Personal Goals
Heal my sickness.
I was not feeling well since last June 26. I have suffered from tonsillitis, cold, and cough. My tonsillitis died down immediately during the first few days (thanks to Bactidol). Then, my cold and cough were kinda gone as well in the middle of July.
I don't consider myself yet fully healed because as of now, I still have a little phlegm in my throat and I am taking medication and other remedies to heal it.
In conclusion, this target goal of mine... I consider it a failure. But I will still continue healing this August.
Quality time with family and friends.
Target hit! On July 4, I spent time with my friends at Jollibee, at an eatery, and in thrift shops. On July 10, I went to a samgyupsal resto with my friends. Then on July 13, I went to McDonald's with a friend.
When it comes to my quality time with my family, we had a sleepover in our house, ate together for the fiesta, went to the beach, and maybe other stuff that I may have forgotten.
Fix my room.
My room has undergone a renovation which I have mentioned in this article: Renovating My Bedroom. This was a target hit because I have finally fixed my room and it is comfortable enough for me again to spend most of my time alone here.
Workout.
For the past consecutive months, May and June, I have set the goal for me to constantly workout but I had also consecutively failed.
But this July... I had failed again. Huhu. Three consecutive months of failure, eh? But this August, I am really still trying. I guess I will just never give up on this goal. Haha.
Read a book.
Specifically speaking, I have a goal to read a physical book that I have which is "Shoe Dog". I set this goal last June and I tried again to target it this July but I just kept on failing to do so. I was more into watching kdramas and reading ebooks, specifically Jonaxx Stories.
I have no plan to set this goal again this August because our semester will start soon. I guess I will just read the book in the future when I no longer set it as a goal. I will just read it because I want to.
Sleep properly.
Target hit! My sleeps in July were good. I mostly sleep around 10:30-12 am. I rarely slept at 1-3 am though. But overall, I had a lot of good sleep. I hope that it will continue this August.
Academic Goals
Learn about architectural software.
Failed, because I didn't learn much about it, but rather I learned about forex trading instead. Haha. But this August, I've been continuing to learn again about architectural software, specifically AutoCAD.
Go to the tailoring shop for my school uniform.
Done! I went to a tailoring shop that is very near to my grandma's house. The cost is ₱900 per pair (top and bottom). I asked for 2 pairs, so the total amount that I'll be paying is ₱1,800. It was so expensive! But it is what it is. I will get my 2 school uniforms before the semester starts and I hope that the uniforms will look flattering on me and suits me well.
Financial Goals
Save more than what I spend.
Target hit! I always set this goal every month, and I also got to achieve every month. I guess being a save has been really part of my lifestyle.
Side Hustle Goals
Publish at least 15 articles here on read.cash.
Target hit! I have published a total of 17 articles in July.
Post more frequently on noise.cash.
Failed because I was honestly kinda inactive last July. But nevertheless, I am still trying this month of August.
Closing Thought
I think how my July goals went wasn't smooth at all. It was a balance. It seems like 50% were achieved, while 50% also failed. But nonetheless, 50% achievements is better than not at all. So overall, it was still pretty good.
Anyways, that's all for my reflection of my previous month's goals. Have a wonderful day ahead, everyone! ✨
