Let’s talk about my AUGUST goals!
📚 bookish GOALS 📚
My reading slump carried over into July and didn’t let up until just a few days ago. I didn’t hit 2 of my 3 bookish goals for July, and I won’t be setting anything super strict for August since I’m trying to ease back into my routine!
July goal check-in:
- Stop worrying so much about what time of day I post to IG or my blog ✅
- Finish or DNF some current reads to get back down to 6ish ❌
- I have more current reads now than I did on July 1st. 💀
- Reorganize my ARC tracker ❌
My bookish goals for August are:
- Reorganize my ARC tracker
- Finish August with less than 10 current reads
- Read 3 or more books from a previous 2024 TBR list
My TBR for August is:
- The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde
- This is the August BOTM pick for my Discord server!
- I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
- I’m buddy reading this with my fellow SGJ-obsessed bestie Malli 🥰
- Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes
- Yep, this was on a few previous TBR lists! It’s the TBR & Beyond horror BOTM for August.
Yep, only THREE TBR picks for August! I really want to take it easy and try mood reading a little more this month.
🧶 other HOBBY goals 🎮
July goal check-in:
- Watch 5 movies from my watchlist ❌
- Play 3 games from my TBP (to be played) list ✅
- I started playing Palia and I completed Parts 1 and 2 of the True Fear: Forsaken Souls series.
- Listen to 1 episode of a podcast (another hobby I’ve been neglecting!) ✅
- I listened to several episodes of The NoSleep Podcast (my favorite!) in the car over the past week!
August goals:
- Watch 5 movies from my watchlist (yep, carrying this one over!)
- Finish the diamond art painting I’ve been working on as a gift for Isaac
- Try (again) to learn how to crochet
💪 “real life” goals 👪
July goal check-in:
- Go to the gym 3+ times per week ❌
- I started off strong with this one, but a broken tooth and an eye injury messed me up for about half the month 💀
- Go to bed on time 5 nights per week ✅
- I went to bed at a decent time almost every night in July! 🥳 (and by “decent time”, I mean decent for ME, which is still late, but it’s what works best for me)
- Work 30 hours per week ❌
- Big bust on this one, also because of the injuries 😩
- Keep up with my physical reading journal all month ❌
- I kept up with it for the first few weeks before forgetting about it, lol
August goals:
- Go to the gym more than I did in July (setting a number goal feels like tempting fate right now 😅)
- Get back on track with my daily housework routine
- Do yoga or pilates a few times weekly
What are you looking forward to this month?
