2020 Blogging Goals // Tan Sweater Dress + Black Sock Boots
As I sit here sipping on day old champagne, leftover from last night’s midnight toast to ring in the new decade, I can’t help myself from devising my latest cliched list of New Year’s resolutions. Freshly inspired and drowning in that tangible New Year spirit, here we go.
Wake up EARLIER
Organically reach a minimum of 2% consistent engagement on Instagram
Increase my yearly earnings by at least 25%
Utilize my content calendar and post daily
Push myself to be more creative with my sponsored content
Reduce photo editing time
Incorporate home decor shots into my feed
Clear out my inbox and aspire for more timely responses
Increase my affiliate sales
Take on a new freelance position in influencer marketing
Plan our next vacation
Three tips to actually achieve your goals:
Be realistic with your resolutions. If you’re a wanna-be-morning-person like me who currently rolls out of bed at 10am, making it your resolution to start waking up at 6am is just setting yourself up for failure. Rather, make a plan to wake up thirty minutes earlier than you normally do. That way, you have a shot at being successful.
Write out a detailed plan of action and check your progress every week/month. Looking back at last year’s list of resolutions, I realized that the goals I didn’t even come close to achieving are the ones I actually forgot I made, like scheduling my day like a 9-5. Oops. Checking in on your progress will keep your goal top of mind and help you stay motivated.
Tackle one goal at a time. They say it takes 40 days to create a new habit, so keep that in mind when pushing yourself to change.
