January Plans and Goals

Hey lovelies, I can’t believe it’s a new year already. I feel like time as of late has been going exceptionally quickly, I feel like 2017 was gone in a blink! Anyway, I thought I’d share the things that I plan to get up to in January.

University

• Paint, paint, paint – This month I need to do a lot of painting for my assessments because I haven’t done as much as I should so far. I’m really excited to get back in my studios and working on some new bits.
• Finish off my PhD applications – I’ve actually sent a few off already and received interview dates back but there are still a few places I’d like too apply for. I’m really excited about this one and I’ll hopefully be able to start my PhD in January 2019.
• Hit the books – One thing I need to start doing more of for university is reading, I’ve read a far bit this term but you can never know too much about your chosen subject!

Personal

• Eat better – As mentioned in my last post I recently lost someone and my response to grief makes me not sleep and not eat very much. I’ve dropped a lot of weight and I’ve started to look and feel ridiculously unhealthy. This month I’m going to try my best to eat better and set up a meal plan so that I know I’m eating.
• Stop being so hard on myself – I mentioned this in my last post also but I really need to chill a bit and stop being hard on myself when a situation doesn’t go my way or I fail at something. It’s a bad trait that I’ve allowed myself to keep doing and I need to stop.
• Save some money – When I get paid on the 28th I plan on putting £300-500 in my savings account and hopefully with a meal plan and being a little careful with money I will succeed with this one. I want 2018 to be the year when I learn some self control with money and save so that I don’t have to worry about money when I do my PhD!

Blogging

• Get back into a regular blogging schedule – I’m pretty sure I’ll be blogging two or three times a week as January is a quiet month for my work and university I’d like to get some posts pre-scheduled and some tweets scheduled.
• Buy a new theme – In 2017 this was something that I really wanted to do but never got around too, so this will be the month that blog gets a snazzy new makeover! It’s a new year so why not?

So these are my goals for January, I’ve tried to keep them short and simple so that I don’t give myself too much to do and hopefully I’ll able to achieve everything on the list. I’d love to know what your goals are!
