March 2017 monthly goals + blog updates

March 7, 2017 by Becky 13 Comments

Blog updates

Not gonna lie, 2017 is kicking my butt.  I just feel like I’m constantly one step behind everything.  I can only hope for things to slowly get better and to feel like I have a handle on life.  I used to have a number of blog posts written in advance and ready to go out and publish (like at least a week’s worth) and right now I don’t have any.  I know I don’t have to post as frequently as I normally do, but I still put pressure on myself to do it.

I did visit Disney at the end of February and I so needed that trip.  It was a solo one but it was pretty much amazing.  Relaxing, fun, and I got to see some good friends.  I ran the Enchanted 10k and the Princess Half Marathon.

February goal updates

Here’s how I did with my February goals from last month:

  • Read 5 blog posts saved on Pinterest (nope, I maybe read one)
  • Create a new opt-in for my email newsletter  (I started working on this but didn’t finish it yet)
  • Re-organize my email newsletter (this I at least did, but still going to be open to adjusting it based on reader feedback!)
  • Re-organize the tabs at the top of the blog (nope, didn’t even think about it)
  • Make a list of pros and cons about starting a second non-Disney blog (I didn’t fully sit down and make a list, but I think given how tough this year as been so far it’s fair to say that is not the right decision for me right now.  Maybe someday).
  • Create a new ad to promote my book (Didn’t do this either.  I’m trying to come up with an idea, maybe for April/Earth Day, where a portion of sales would go to the Disney Conservation Fund).
  • Audition for Chicago, and be confident!  (I auditioned.  I thought my odds of getting in were awful after seeing the amount of talent there.  Over 60 people, most of whom were female, and only 8 females would be getting in.  But I got the phone call last week…. I got in!!!)
  • Research and get a quote on replacing the carpet in the basement with wood tile (didn’t do this yet)
  • Read at least 4 books (I read 4!  Of Fire and Stars, the Inquisitor’s Tale, The Girl Who Drank the Moon, and Nimona.  The Inquistor’s Tale was probably my favorite out of those).
  • Downsize and donate at least 2 boxes of stuff (I did send off 2 boxes of stuff.  But still a lot more to go!!)
  • De-clutter/organize the living room (Well, I did organize it. But now it’s covered in all my Disney souvenirs I just bought from February!)

March Blog goals

Gonna try and keep the goals simple this month to hopefully give me time to feel like I’m caught back up.

  • Write at least 2 blog posts on the weekends to have ready ahead of time
  • Create that opt-in for my newsletter
  • Brainstorm a plan for a good April promotion for my book
  • Read 5 blog posts on Pinterest

March personal goals

  • Get the basement floor redone
  • Try to do a long run of at least 6.2 miles every week to prep for the Hershey 10k
  • Organize my closet/clothes

What are your goals for the month?

    I think you’re accomplishing a lot and I’m glad to see that you’re cutting back a bit in March so you can take a breather!

    Congratulations on Chicago! That’s awesome! You have some great goals! One of my goals for March is to plan out my April blog posts. Since I just started blogging, I’m trying to stay ahead on posts and scheduling them out.

      Scheduling is such a huge lifesaver! Even if you change things as you go along, having a general plan really helps.

    Congrats on Chicago! That’s so exciting! My blog goals is to increase my unique visitors, and continue using Pinterest and implementing the strategies I learned in a recent course! 🙂

    Reading blog posts you’ve saved on Pinterest is such a good goal to have and one I’ve never thought of before. I save SO MANY POSTS on Pinterest and then never look at them again.
    You accomplished so many of your goals (or at least started them) this month – congrats!!

      Haha that is so true! There are so many that I haven’t looked at, so I figured i should at least try and start because there’s probably lots of good info in there!

    Chicago?!?! That is awesome!!! Congrats! That is one of my all time favorite shows. 2017 is definitely kicking my butt too. I’m behind on the blog and in life. Ugh. I think it sounds like you’ve got a great plan for March…I haven’t made a “goal” post since December 🙁
