2022 Goals: Q3 Update

Q3, cannot believe we are heading into the remaining months of the year! 

Let’s get into it

I Iike to follow the SMART goal approach. 

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 business, finance, health, family, and personal. 

Business Goals

These are definitely evolving as different opportunities present themselves

1. Yoga – COMPLETE
   1. Bring back beach yoga!
      Deadline: Summer 2022
      Scheduled to start 7/2
   2. Get some non-members to my yoga classes at GWCF
      Deadline: 12/31/2022
      2 regular non-members, and 2 more occasional non-members 😊

2. Google Ads: generate enough traffic to qualify for Google Ads on this here blog
   Deadline: 12/31/2022
   Unsure on this one, I cannot seem to be consistent enough on treating this as an income source. 

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 – no change fro Q2
   I believe I will qualify for loan forgiveness with the new administration, this goal is currently on pause. I’ll leave it here so as to not get too political.

Health Goals: 

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

1. Crossfit on average 3x per week. 
   Status: 114, fell behind by 3. 
   Trying to step it up in the last quarter to make up for lost opportunities.

2. New Skill: double unders – COMPLETE 3/11/2022
   Performed during the Open work out 22.3 Rx! Q1 Update gives a bit more info. Making strides at sustaining 

3. Independent cardio 1x per week @ 30 minutes
   Honestly, borderline given up here. Need to revisit. 
   Status: 16 😰behind by 23

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 

Beyond on track, I think we have this super undercontrol. Definitely able to find time for family, marriage, and our respective social lives. I won’t bore you with activities. Feeling a sense of safety to remove this goal as I progress as a partner, parent, and friend. It’s clearly a priority that does not need extra attention.

Personal Goals: 

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

1. Finish both started knitting projects
2. Read at least 3 books 
   Status: 2 book3 down, 1 project down! 

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

Progress is overall not on track. Hopefully Q4 yields more results! Looking forward to crushing the end of the year
