I am finally settling down into 2018. Today is the 3rd day and I am loving it. I have been away from home for some days and only got back home on Monday. So I am still trying to unpack and tidy up. I am finally starting to feel a little more organised. I am a firm believer in setting achievable goals. I set monthly goals in the first of every month. It works great for me because I need to know what I need to work on to make it happen. I also like to write them down as I believe in the power of written goals.
I am my own boss. No one tells me what to do or how to do it. I don’t have a boss breathing down my neck, constantly reminding me to hit my KPIs. Or counting how many times I go for a comfort break. It feels great to be my own boss but it also means I have to work very long hours to make this life happen. Which is why setting goals for 2018 is a no brainer.
Why I won’t be sharing my goals for 2018
Many people write goals and share them with their blog readers but I am different. I like to keep my goals private. That may sound silly to some of you but it works great for me. I do share some goals on Fashion and Style Police. You all know how much I talk about growing my Instagram and I am so happy that is finally beginning to happen. But when it comes down to my monthly/yearly goals, I am not comfortable sharing them all in details.
The reason why I am not for sharing goals publicly is because I believe that sometimes, when we share our plans, the forces start working to make sure we don’t smash them (please don’t ask me who the forces are). Which is why I rather keep my goals quiet and let the results do the talking.
I have a lot planned for 2018. It is going to be an incredible month. I can feel it in my heart and I can’t wait to experience them all.
Say cheers to the New Year! May 2018 be amazing for us all as awe smash goal after goal.
Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing. There will be no me without you. Have a lovely day xo
Fantastic. I set daily goals on my calendar and try as much as possible to achieve them. The yearly ones I eventually forget what they are since I have so much doing daily anyway. Then the sheet of paper it is written on gets lost. Lol!
Happy New Year Stella!
I know right, lol. It is so easy to forget some yearly goals. Have a lovely year Sade.
Hi Stella! As funny as it may sound, but I also try to keep my goals and plans to myself so the “forces” don’t get on my way :)) For many people it works and I really like the quote “Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise.”
But I know for many people it helps sharing and putting their goals out there because it keeps them sense of accountability as well as they get support.
Whatever your goals are, I wish you to make a real loud noice at the end 😉
I pray so too. Thanks for reading. Have a great year.
I wish you all the success in 2018 – I haven’t had a chance to think about my goals yet. Next weeks job 🙂
Oh nice. Thanks Helen.
Happy 2018! I I totally understand that you do want to speak publicly about goals. This is the first time in my life I shared mine with my readers. Was feeling nervous about it!
I am sure your readers will enjoy reading the post. Just not for me at the moment. Have a great 2018.
I can totally understand why you don’t share them. I found that if I didn’t share them, then no one would know if I accomplished them or not and hence I would get lazy. So for me I share because I need the accountability.
I get what you mean. Sharing does help.
Good for you! I haven’t done mine this year either!
Ah cool..
I have private goals as well, of course I want to grow my other social media following but there are other goals that I don’t tend to share. Nothing wrong with wanting privacy. I tell you what though I do hope I can find love this year.
I hope you do Ana. Love is a beautiful thing once it is with the right person. Good luck with all your goals. Have a great year x
Each to their own hey! I hope you smash your goals – whatever they may be! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Katy. Thanks.
I haven’t even got rounds to setting my goals let alone thinking if they should be public. Must do this ASAP
Good luck
Thanks Leona. Good luck with yours.
I totally see where you are coming from with this approach. I don’t share my goals on my blog partly because I’ve got so much else to write about
Good you see it my way. Thanks Zena.
I don’t like sharing them either! I want to get mine written out and pinned up though so I can keep them focused for me
My thoughts exactly. Thanks Stephanie.
I think it’s great that your not showing your goals! It sounds like they’re something you’re holding close to the heart and that’s fine! So bold
Thanks Anosa.
I completely agree. I feel that when I share my goals and aspirations with the world they seldom come to pass but when I work silently my successes speak for themselves.
True that Channel.
I completely agree with what you’re saying. I love focusing on my goals privately too. Occasionally I’ll share some though, normally the ones I need to be accountable for because sometimes I need a kick to get them done. I hope you achieve everything you want to this year! 🙂 x
I hope you achieve all your goals too. Thanks Chloe x
It is your personal decision to disclose your goals or not. What’s important is that you focus on accomplishing those. Cheers to 2018!
Cheers to 2018. Have a great year.
I agree with you and won’t be sharing my blog goals, it is all too easy for people to rubbish them and put you on the wrong path
Yes it is Kara.
Totally understand where you are coming from Hun . I have shared mine in the hope I actually achieve them ! 🙂
Yea I have that in the past. Sharing can help.
