Staying On Track - Plan With Me February

Hi to my dearest readers! I've been away for quite some time due to my work's demands. In this article, I want to share with you my progress this January when it comes to my goals and also the plans I have this coming February.

But first, say hello to these amazing people, my sponsors, who motivate me to continue writing here ❤️

February is just around the corner. What are your plans?

Looking back at the previous month really can help us to achieve more or demotivate us to do well. It really depends on how we view our progress.

It's January 30 so I decided to have a recap of the first month of the year.

What Happened this January

I only had two goals this month:

• make an account here

• post 5 articles

It seemed easy right? But it took me awhile to make an account here and commit into writing once again. With the tiny spare time I have, it's difficult to commit to other stuff but here I am, writing once again. When you really love what you do, you'll make time for it.

Maybe I underestimate myself because I only aimed for 5 articles. Well, I thought that I could only write 5 because of my schedule. Looking at my profile, I've written 14 articles in just 3 weeks. Well done, self. *hugs myself for a job well done*

Since I'm committing myself to completing my bullet journal this year, I designed my February full of hearts as it is known for Valentine's day.

Goals This February

I only listed 5 goals for this month - mostly are about my side hustles.

• Create an APPICS account

  I've been reading posts about APPICS and decided to try it too. I installed the app already but I haven't had the energy and motivation to sign up yet that's why I included this into my February goals.

• Publish 10 articles

  Okay, since I aimed for only 5 last month, I wanted to level up. For this month, my goal is to publish 10 articles but if ever I get the chance to publish more than this then I'd thank myself for pushing beyond my goal. Honestly, I don't want to aim for a specific number of article for I don't want to sacrifice the quality of my published works but I also thought that this number will help to motivate me to practice writing more.

• Date myself every weekend

  This one sounds funny. I have my partner with me but I'd date myself every weekend for this month. Love isn't just about romantic love. My work had taken away tons of time I could've spent with myself. I do value alone time. It helps me to recharge so I can give love to others too. After all, we cannot give what we do not have. Self-love and self-care are important.

• Read at least 2 books

  I still have tons of to read books on my shelf. For me, buying books and reading them are two different source of bliss. For the past years, I've only been buying books to stack on my bookshelf hahaha but this year, I wanted to commit into reading again. I don't want reading to be a forced task so I settled with only 2, at least.

• Schedule 2 movie nights / virtual hangout with friends

  Recently, my schedule with friends having chitchats and virtual hangout became pretty hectic. One schedule overlaps with the other so I really need to schedule them properly. I have 5 constant circles and I really don't want to miss the chance to say hi and hang out with them. The extrovert in me really want to go for social gatherings but we can only do those virtually.

How's your January so far? Have you achieved your goals?

Even if you haven't achieved it yet, don't be disappointed because you're just getting started and there are many more months left before we call it a year. Don't be afraid to fail and start again. The good thing about failing quickly is that you have more time to start over again. Take your time and know that it'll be alright in time.

Happy Sunday, peeps! Thanks for dropping by🥰
