I can’t believe its May already! Time to recap on my April goals and set some goals for May..
RECAP
BLOGGING GOALS
- Write at least one guest post – This totally didn’t happen. I wrote some ghost written blog content for some companies but nothing bearing my byline.
- Get scheduled in advance – This happened for a few days but soon stopped.
- Clear my backlog of emails etc – I’ve been really good at keeping on top of my emails for once!
FREELANCING GOALS
- Keep updating my work website – Nope. I haven’t updated for a while but its on my to do list for this week.
- Keep searching for long term clients – I’ve kept searching and have some potential long term clients in the works. Plus someone I worked with on a one off job came back in April and even told a colleague about me who came to me for some freelance work. Yay!
PERSONAL GOALS
- Enter at least one writing competition this month – This didn’t happen and I am gutted about this.
- Participate in the writing linkys I love this month – Nope 🙁
- Read 5 books – This definitely didn’t happen.
- Spend an hour a week adding to my NaNo draft – No, this hasn’t seen any movement.
FINANCIAL GOALS
- Save some money for holiday – I’ve given my parents a little towards holiday already. Not much but its a start.
- Pay off more outstanding debts – Yep. Having had a fairly good month I’ve been paying some stuff off.
- Declutter more and sell what I can – I’ve sold a few things but not as much as I would like.
HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS
- Diversify my routine more – I can’t say this happened very often…
- Walk more – I am back into my walking and really enjoying it. I even helped out with a school trip because I knew it would involve lots of walking
- Try something new – Well..this is actually happening tonight but does it count as something new if I signed up to the new village running club in April? Please say it does!
I didn’t do too badly on my goals in April although I am really disappointed with my personal goals..I didn’t really achieve anything here. So what are my goals for May?

How did you do in April? What goals are you hoping to achieve in May?
Yes signing up in April counts :). Good luck to your May goals x
May’s a new month. Hopefully you’ll reach more of your goals this month – good luck! 🙂
okay, so April you managed a few of your goals which was alright – it can get so hard trying to stick to something once life takes over. Good for you setting new goals for May
You can do it Bex, I know you can x
Well done on completing some of your monthly goals, I only managed to do about half of mine too! Good luck with them this month.
I like your idea of setting monthly goals. Its a great way to motivate one self to get things done.
I love this idea. Having things wrote down strangely motivates me more knowing that I can check things off. I cant remember the last time I actually read a book never mind 5!! I like the idea of 2 though.. totally do able right?
don’t be disappointed! new month, new ways/goals. never give up
Good luck with your goals for May – I have no idea what mine are eek! x
Loved reading this. Really interesting to see what people’s goals are 🙂 Good luck this month
Good luck with reaching all your goals this month, I never seem to get very far with mine either.
Well done on April. Good luck with May. I hope it’s good for all of us.
I am a huge believe in goals, and really respect you for making yours public.
I have Just signed up for my third attempt at the 100 day goal and mine is to clear the backlog that is crushing every bit of creativity I possess.
Wow great idea and even though you didn’t hit all your goals Mays a new month xx
Sounds like you’re going into May with a clear idea of what you want to achieve, thats great! xxx
