July… New Month, New Start… Right?

Posted on by Galit G. Balli

Hello everyone and happy July to you all ❤

Wow, it’s already July. Where did all the year go? Time is running so fast and I barely can catch up. My month started out already with tons of things to do for my mom, for myself and lots more. My calendar looks too colorful, even for me, hehe 😀 I love the start of a month, everything feels fresh and there’s a feeling in the air that everything is possible.

As a new month comes, I sit down, reflect on the previous month and think of all the things I want to achieve this month, especially when I didn’t do so good with my June goals. I want to start posting these posts again, to keep myself accountable… So feel free to ask me how my goals are doing any time you want ❤

Here are my July goals

Work

Write at least 5K (it’s not much but it’s something) 😉

Finish outlining.

Edit 2 chapters (editing is a real struggle for me, hehe).

Blog twice a week (This month is too hectic so I will post only twice a week. Scheduling is almost done, yay).

Finish formatting my new Bi-monthly newsletter (going out in August, so don’t miss it).

Social Media

Post more on my social media (talking about struggle, lol).

Mom

Organize my mom’s medical papers (this is very urgent and I’m procrastinating on this every day).

Home

Keep the house clean and organized every day (new evening routine).

Self-Care

Drink more water 😀 (I know, I know… but I am doing better with this goal, even got a new cute water bottle).

Make time for a full half an hour of self-care once a week ❤ (Like mani-pedi, facial mask and just a bit of pampering).

Go back to walking or elliptical.

Hobby

What is a hobby? lol, It’s been so long. But seriously, I would love to return to my junk journal at least once a month 😀

Also, I want to get back to my reading. My TBR pile is growing fast and after a huge reading-slump, I am starting to get out of it so I hope to read more. My goal is to read 3 books this month.

What goal are you hoping to achieve this month?

Let me know

As always, thank you so much for reading ❤

  6. You’ve set yourself some ambitious goals. Good luck with them. 🙂 I do the same thing. But my main goal this month is to get most of the second draft of my WIP written/edited. :/

  13. I’ve never thought of setting goals for myself. This is such a good idea. I hope you accomplish all your goals for this month 😊

    1. I have a friend that never sets goals, she only know what she want in general and how she wants to get there. I am a very list oriented and I love many types of list, so naturally I love lists about goals.
      LOL My dog just sneezed all over, lol (sorry, but I can’t stop laughing) 😀

      1. Lol. I think your friend and I are almost the same when it comes to that. I’ll have a to-do list and grocery list but that’s about it. 😅

  15. Good luck with your July goals, I feel your pain over medical notes, I do a lot of this with my son and it soon gets overwhelming, I have a pocket file with sections for each department/area now that I can at least file it in some order even if I’m busy. X

    1. Thank you so much 🙂
      I am sorry that your son is in need for doctors, I do hope he will feel tons better fast.
      It’s gets overwhelming fast, yeah I do that as well and now I am working (slowly, lol) on scanning all her medical papers and I want to put in my dropbox. We even carry a file holder with many papers which I named Bobby, hehe (he comes with us everywhere, lol, so I had to name it)…. Oversharing?

  21. Galit, good luck on achieving your July goals. I’m working on a goal to finish a first draft by the end of summer. So, word count every day! It keeps me writing everyday. I’m retired and totally free to accomplish this. Let ‘s see if this announcement helps. 📚 Christine
