August 2022 Goals

Can you believe it is August already? It seems summer has flown by and before long we will be putting out the pumpkins and fall decor galore! 

Every month I sit down and plan out what I would like to accomplish for the month. I try to break down my goals into categories with one or two specific categorical goals. Without further ado, here are my August goals. 

Social

As adults we all lead busy lives and sometimes we have to actually plan social events. My August goal is to do at least one thing in person with a friend. This can be meeting up for lunch, going to an event, etc. 

Mental

As a reminder to slow down and limit screen time, I want to read two physical books this month. I currently have Elin Hilderbrand's, Winter in Paradise, on my list to read and will likely read the sequel. 

Financial

I have made two goals in this category. The first goal is to put an extra $1,000 toward my vehicle loan. I am so close to paying this one off and it will be the first time in my life I have owned a paid off vehicle. 

The second goal is to eat 4 out of 7 meals each week out of my freezer stash. Eating out of the freezer will help to prevent food waste and trim the grocery bill which has gotten really out of hand. 

Health

I plan to exercise 20 / 31 days this month for at least 30 minutes per session. As a secondary goal, I need to follow a stricter diet and lose 3 pounds. My current starting weight is 140.6 lbs. 

Work

The work category has two goals as well. I need to increase my knowledge of search engine optimization and implement it on the website. I also need to edit the Pinterest boards to be more niche focused. 

Home

There is only one goal in this category which I imagine will be time consuming. I need to clean up the summer vegetable garden to get ready for fall planting. The August heat is going to limit this work to the late evening hours so it will take several days to get this accomplished. 

What are your goals for August? I would love to hear them!
