2022 Goals: Q1 Update

Q1 was for getting shit DONE. 

I like to follow the SMART goal approach. 

What are SMART goals? Read my post for setting SMART goals here.

SMART is an acronym for:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable/Attainable
Relevant
Time-based

Here’s a quick run down:

S – the more specific the goal the better. Do not be vague. Umbrella goals usually do not succeed. 

M – quantify your goal.

A  – be honest with yourself. You don’t have to accomplish every goal, but you should be at least close to accomplishment.

R – choose something closely related to your ideals and appropriate at this time in life. 

T – deadline! Pick an actual date in the future on the calendar. Include checkpoints if you desire 🙂 

For my goals I’m going to tackle 5 categories: business, finance, health, family, and personal. 

For my goals I’m going to tackle business, finance, health, family, and personal. 

Business Goals

These are definitely evolving as different opportunities present themselves

These are definitely evolving as different opportunities present themselves

Yoga

Google Ads: generate enough traffic to qualify for Google Ads on this here blog

Finance Goals

Just one this year, nothing exceptional, but I’m so over my student loan payment.

1. Payoff my remaining student loans
   I was lucky enough not to have any loans from undergrad, so I just have what is left from my MBA. Roughly, $7500. 

Deadline: 12/31/2022

Progress: $7000 left

Health Goals: 

This is a push for me to be where I want to be fitness wise.

1. Crossfit on average 3x per week.
   I attempted this in 2020, but I did not achieve it. I’m going to try again because I was easily able to complete the 2x per week last year even with a maternity leave.

Status: 47, ahead by 8!

2. New Skill: double unders – COMPLETE 3/11/2022

Performed during the Open work out 22.3 Rx! I think at one point I strung 20 together and I finished the first set of the workout in 5:45 minutes. If you are familiar with CrossFit and did the Open or watched some of the workouts. I do not have chest to bar pull-ups, so the remainder of the workout was attempting to get as many of those as possible.

Since starting crossfit, I have been pregnant 2x. Not the best circumstances to achieve double unders – haha. This year I am determined to finally get them solid. 

3. Independent cardio 1x per week @ 30 minutes
   I am really lacking in the cardio and endurance area of fitness. Hopefully by adding this in I can get some improvement. I own both a treadmill and a spin bike (and I’m a certified spin instructor) so there should be no excuses in this area. Even if it’s just a walk on the treadmill, it’s something. 

Status: 3 😰

If you’re into maths like me then:
3x a week on average equates to at least 156/year, 39/quarter, and 13/month.
2x a week on average equates to at least 104/year, 26/quarter, and 8-9/month.
1x a week on average equates to 52/year, 13/quarter, and 4-5/month

Family Goals

This goal went so well in 2020 & 2021 and was the one goal I fully accomplished both years, so I’m going to keep it the same 🙂

1. 1 date night a month – childfree 
2. 1 family event/outing per month 

Both mine and my husband’s parents are wonderful about watching the kids, we have had some date nights and completely child-free nights, it’s been awesome! 

We did do some breweries: Tuckerman’s in NH and Berkley Beer Co. in Taunton. We also were able to get dinner a couple times. 

As for family days, we had 2 long weekends up in NH; one on NYE weekend and the other President’s Day weekend. Most notably though, Faye and Ewan were invited to their very first friend birthday! It was adorable seeing all our friends’ kids playing together! And the adults had fun catching up too 😉

Personal Goals: 

I am desperate to accomplish these. DES.PER.ATE.

1. Finished both started knitting projects
2. Read at least 3 books 

Status: Slight progress in both areas, nothing complete…

Here’s a tidy list of all goals:

1. Business Goals
   • Yoga attendance
   • Enhance blog and generate passive income
2. Finance Goals
   • Pay off student loan
3. Health Goals
   • Crossfit average 3x per week
   • New Skill: Double unders
   • Independent cardio average 1x per week
4. Family Goals
   • 1 child-free date night with the hubs monthly
   • 1 family outing monthly
5. Personal Goals
   • Read
   • Knit

Not too shabby for Q1… Definitely crushing some goals and slacking on others. Still so much year left and I’m looking forward to how it will go, stay tuned!

I’d love to read your goals in the comments or any input you may have on how you stay focused! If you have any other questions or want assistance with your goals, you can also reach out on the contact form 😉
