Goals for 2020 – What I want to achieve this year

Happy New Year! It’s the start of a brand new shiny year, a year full of opportunity and potential. It’s time to focus on the year ahead and look at what we want to achieve this year. For me, I love to think ahead and manifest a brilliant year ahead. I love to think about what I’d like to achieve and what I need to do to turn my goals into a reality. It’s important to remain realistic as no-one wants to fail with their goals so with this in mind, here’s my goals for my blog and work, family goals and personal goals for 2020.

Blog / work goals

• Work out / schedule regular working hours during the week to try and restore worklife balance
• Increase blog traffic by at least 25% per month
• Set up regular checklists for blog admin (to include broken links, calendar updates and scheduling social media posts)
• Re-photograph popular recipe blog posts
• Take an SEO course
• Learn how to use Google Analytics and Search Console properly
• Update SEO for popular recipe blog posts
• Update popular recipe blog posts with pins for Pinterest
• Try out 2 recipes per month to share on the blog and photograph
• To feature in a magazine and talk about blogging
• Gain another 2 social media clients to grow my social media management client base
• Increase social media channels by at least 100 (It is so hard to grow these!)

Personal goals

• Feel comfortable in my own skin again (eat less / move more)
• Rejoin Slimming World
• Grow my confidence so I can hold conversations without feeling like I am being judged
• Put myself first more often
• Exercise at least once a week
• Meal plan every week
• Drink lots more water

Family goals

• Re-decorate the boys bedroom
• Move Freddie from his cotbed into a bunkbed with Olly
• Visit a English Heritage property at least once a month
• Enjoy a family holiday
• Carry on with the Me and Mine Project
• Take the boys swimming / start swimming lessons with them both

There they are. They’re written down so I must really want to work on these this year. I think they’re realistic and possibly achievable. I will be working on these when I finally get back into our home office on Monday and I’m ready to start learning more and working smarter not harder.
