My 2016 Goals
Every year I try and make myself a decent sized list of goals that I want to achieve throughout the year and then I break them down by month in hopes of making them easier to accomplish. By far my biggest accomplishment of 2015 has been creating my blog and achieving the point of success that I'm at in under a year.
With that being said, I have much bigger goals for myself in 2016. This is also the year that I'll be graduating college (sorry, what?!) and many more big, exciting events that I cannot wait to share! There is no better feeling than having an entirely clean slate to work off of in 2016 though, and I'm so excited for what is in store this year!
I have a TON of things I want to accomplish this year both personally and having to do with blogging, this list is longer than expected...
- Get back to my fitness plan and healthy eating
- Work on creating more high quality photos
- Create more content ahead of time
- Double my page views each month
- Get my blog redesigned or upgraded
- Travel SO much more
- Work with at least one new brand per month
- Give old posts some serious face lifts (especially my oldest posts... eesh!)
- Step up my social media presence and gain more of a following
- Find the positive change in myself that I'm seeking
- Make more blogging friendships (they're the BEST!)
- Apply for Big Brother!!
- Update my style to my liking
- Stick to my blogging routine/editorial calendar
- Try new things I wouldn't normally do/try
- Be more consistent on social media postings
- Use a scheduler more for social media
Out of all of my goals, these are the most prominent and ones that I want to achieve most! I'm so excited to see what the new year brings for me personally and on my blog. I have so many exciting things coming and I already have my editorial calendar planned out through mid-February, score!!
What are your main goals for 2016?

I wish you the best of luck! I never make goals for myself - I prefer to wing it and go from there :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone is making me feel guilty that I didn't set any goals for myself lol. I guess I'm going to have to think of one or two to set. I love yours and might just borrow a couple of your ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and great goals, I really want to travel more and I also want to improve my image quality on my blog :D

Great list of goals! My goals are to be more consistent with posting content and to avoid burning out after running a marathon!
ReplyDeleteThese are great goals to work towards. I wish you luck especially finding a brand to work with once per month. I've not got there yet - rather too shy to do anything about that one.
ReplyDeleteI so want to travel more. Where would you want to go this year?
These are lovely goals and some of them need to be on my list as well! I hope you're able to do all of them justice, if not BETTER! Happy New Year!

My goals are to finish writing my Ebook, read at least 50 books and stop complaining.
ReplyDeleteI hope you rock your goals. My goal is to make the most out of every moment and opportunity.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. Definitely look into getting a template from Etsy because they're so much cheaper until you can pay someone to do a design. Now these days people charge so much. lol
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with these ambitious goals! I am also graduating from college this year! I'm so glad to run across a fellow college blogger, and would love to swap stories. Connecting with other bloggers is also one of my goals!

BLogging wise my goals are to be more consistent and schedule posts. Personally, I am continuing on my fitness journey and concentrating on being a more confident figure bodybuilder this year.
ReplyDeleteI have a few goals, mostly personal.
ReplyDeleteExcellent list of challenging goals! I'm working on my goals for 2016.
ReplyDeleteblogging friendships are the best -- I'm looking to make more this year as well!

ReplyDeleteYou have such great goals, and I love that you've thought this all through. I really need to write mine down!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you have goals for 2016, we must set smart goals than make a resolution.
ReplyDeleteLove that you've made goals and not resolutions! I hope this year will be an awesome year for all of us!
ReplyDeleteGreat 2016 goals!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you'll achieve them.
Also, definitely start using a social media scheduler more -- it works wonders for me.
xoxo, Jenny
You had a great goals. My goals in 2016 was not yet done.
ReplyDeleteTraveling more is definitely one of my main goals for the year. I enjoy it so much and always wonder why I don't do it more often. I just need to make the time!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on completing all your goals for the year! It seems like you are well on your way so I'm sure 2016 is going to be an awesome year. My main goals are to grow my blog, expand it into more of a brand, and be able to run 3 miles nonstop by May. We'll see how it goes :)
ReplyDeleteAll the Best,

Apply for Big Brother.. that's quite a goal... all the best I hope you get accepted! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat goals! I am with you on the blog and social media goals!

Yay for the healthy eating and living. More blog posts is one of my resolutions too!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I love the idea of working on creating more high quality pictures. That has been on my list for a while. I'd love to take a photography class some day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals, girl. I am sure you'll be able to tick them off. Applying for Big Brother sounds SO COOL <3

Lots of great resolutions! I also need to work on taking better photos :) As well as doing more new things. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good list of goals. I like the way you word things - goals rather than resolutions. I think goals are more constructive and do-able by design than resolution hopes.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals! Improving my health is my main goal.
ReplyDeleteI have not exercised the entire holiday season and I really need to get back to my fitness plan and healthy eating. I love your list.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals!! Thank you for sharing!

That's a lot of resolutions! I like the way your blog looks already so if you improve it, it's definitely going to look amazing (even if you don't necessarily need it)
ReplyDeleteMika from La French Connection
I love the way your blog looks already FYI, but we have so many of the same goals! Love it! Let's do this! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your goal of making more blogging friendships! It's something I definitely want to do as well. One of my goals is to create more content ahead of time. We make a calendar on my blog, but last year I still found myself writing the post an hour or so before it was supposed to go live.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on all of your goals (and especially Big Brother)!

Sounds like you are ready to kick 2016's butt!!! Good luck with your goals :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're starting 2016 off right! :) I have several of the same goals, and I'm hoping this is the year that my blog grows even more. I want to travel sooo much, too--I'm kicking off the year with a trip to Ireland at the end of this month. SO. EXCITED. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAwesome goals you have set for 2016! I need to do a lot of facelift on my older posts too and this reminded me of that, so thank you! Wishing you a fantastic 2016!

ReplyDeleteThose are so great goals. I am just looking to love and care for myself more than I have previously.
ReplyDeleteLoving your goals! My main goal is actually to start working out, something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I just never had the motivation to do so!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. It helps so much when we write them down and have a reference list. I love your goal of Big Brother! I love that show.
