It’s the new year, [Happy New Decade everyone!] and for those of you who have waited around, I’m back! 2019 was some year for me as many of you know! You can find out just how amazing it was in my video below. It’s fair to say that I utterly smashed my 2019 goal and because of how I did so great last year, I’m adopting the very same method for this year.
How to plan and achieve a successful goal
If you struggle to achieve your goals any time you set them I suggest that first you read/watch this post to get an understanding as to how I set, plan out and achieve my goals. AND definitely don’t forget to watch my video below for the small tweak I’ve been making to my Annual goals to ensure a successful year. Trust me, combined these methods make ALL the difference and they are not hard, I promise!
I’ve talked before how I would set goals or resolutions every year and just magically expect them to happen/ be achieved. Come to the end of the year I’d be shocked when they were not… especially as I’d written them down in a fancy notebook to boot! The methods mentioned in the linked post above and my video below we really help you out if this resonates with you!
I am very excited for 2020
You’ll discover my good reasons in the video. As I do every year I will share with you my big plans… and goals for 2020. If you’d like to share yours with me, please do so in the comments below… especially if you’ve any great advice on how you achieve your goals!

A few easy tips to get you started once your goals are set.
So that’s them, in black and white. Some, are super simple and once they’re done, they’re done. It doesn’t make them any less important but it is a good idea to have a few ‘quick wins’ on your goal list too… especially if goal achieving is something you struggle with. The ‘quick win’ will empower you to motor forward!
Another great tip is to print out, or write down your list of goals and place it, either in view or somewhere where you can access it regularly, like your planner or journal. [For me, out of sight = totally forgotten about so this tip/step is vital!]
Look at and read your full goal list regularly. Update your plans as they happen or need to happen. Even after you set the goal, plan the steps out and mark the completion date in your calendar you still need to take responsibility for the goals and steps! [This can be a tough one sometimes and often where I failed in the past!]
Because of this, I’m taking my method one step further [as those of you who have already watched my video will know]. With the big change in my life, I’ve less ‘free/me’ time than ever before, something I am finding difficult, so in order to still have a successful goal achieving year I’m planning out my year a little differently!
Themed Months will help me achieve my goals.
I talk about why I’m doing this in my video, essentially to achieve my goals successfully due to my new circumstances. I am still in the planning stages so these may move around a little in the coming weeks and as dates get more fixed for the remediation work that will be done on our house in late summer. But so as to inspire any of you who are looking to do similar, these are my themed months for 2020.
