To accomplish in 2018 ✨

To accomplish in 2018 ✨

Helloo!

As it’s still the beggining of the year, I just wanna do my little list of what i’d like to accomplish for 2018 :3 I know quite alot of people do it over here but eh, it can get motivationnal right?? Sort of like ” well .. now it’s written down so I have to atleast try my best; people over the internet will be SO let down by me !” XD

As with my 2017 recap of what I learned post, I’ll have two section. Bookish / bloggish and then real life; however I will concentrate most of it for books & blogs.. so reverse of the other one as I didn’t really took any big resolutions nor anything this year.

So, without further blabla from me, here’s my list!

Bookish / Bloggish part;

  • Goodreads & #BeatTheBacklist goal of 12books for the whole year, so about one book a month.
  • I have a review of “in a dark dark wood” by Ruth Ware sitting in my drafts that I actually finish the book… if I could do that and post it by the end of Jan/early february that’d be cool.
  • If I could try atleast one different version than paper (aka audiobooks or ebooks) that’d be nice!! So I could combine more than one at different moment and thus, read more ! 😄
  • Keep posting on here; preferably my usual mondays & thursdays (with an added saturday every two weeks, you will see why later!), but once per week + occasionnal saturday would be good enough
  • I’ve been quite good from July to January; but keeping using my planner until the end !!! (And maybe plan my way for a bullet journal … id so want one!)
  • Keep interacting with bloggers; both on wordpress & the bookcommunity on tumblr.
  • Finding out where to get inspirations for posts and such.. maybe get creative a bit. Also get to test the “conversation” posts over here rather than always on tumblr, once in a while..
  • more reading before bed and less gaming (woops..) ; I shall get a bedside lamp, as my lava lamp don’t do much light and that’s why I don’t, I don’t wanna get back up to close it 😡
  • read more of my feed’s blog posts !

 

Non bookish nor bloggish part, for reminder;

  • Go get my begginer. I know, I turned 23 and didn’t even went yet?? Yeh. 😂 now that I’m no longer anxious about speaking english as I speak it all day at work now, I shall proceed. One less fear in the way.

 

Well, that ended up alot more than I originally thought hahah 😅 lets start this year on the good foot, shall we? :3

 

Have you took resolutions/blog & books goals this year? What are they? ✌🏼

  3. I had the same problem at the beginning, but the beautiful thing is that you can put in whatever you want… and once you start it really come easy!! 🙂

  5. I also published a post of my 2018’s resolutions, however it’s much shorter than yours 🙈
    How do you keep a planner? I try, but more often than not I don’t check it or forget it for days 😂
    I know when a review has been in your drafts folder for so long, sometimes I also forget about what I thought of the book 😅

    1. ahah well I thought it was gonna be short ! but I started to write and write and.. 😂​ yep I was the same ! even at school I just, never much used it. I have a post on tips with what helped me get the habit if you’re interrested 🙂 https://booksanddachshunds.wordpress.com/2017/11/23/advices-for-developping-the-habit-of-journaling-planners-%E2%9C%8D/

      Well with my review in the draft I haven’t even stopped reading so .. hahah Id like to write as I go so I can also have like, my genuine reaction of it ? idk ..

      1. I’ll have to check out that post, thank you!
        You should probably do that, a few times I forget what me reactions were while reading the book, and I had to re-read it. Writing down notes would be better, though I don’t do it because I’m not the kind of person to do it 😂

        1. Same 😂 I know lot of people either write in the book or on a postit or something… but If I pause to write something i’ll definately flew off of it 🤷🏽‍♀️

  9. I keep a bullet journal as well but I’m still in that stage where I’m experimenting and figuring out what works for me. As for reading before bed, mine would be to read less so I can get to bed on time haha

  11. My goal is trying to catch up on books that I already own that are sitting in my Kindle or on my bookshelf. So I’m doing Beat the Backlist too! Which group did you get sorted into? I’m on Book Bards. 🙂

  13. Trying audiobooks is on my list, too! Good luck with the reading challenges you’re taking up this year and I hope 2018 would be super amazing for you <3

  17. What an ambitious set of goals, Kristina! I am impressed with everything are working to take on. I am personally SUPER into audiobooks. I have a dog and quite a commute each day, so I find that I make quick progress through them. The trick is finding a good narrator!

    I don’t personally bullet journal, but I love seeing everyone’s journals! Will you be sharing your progress on this blog?

    I haven’t written any 2018 goals yet… but I’m pondering them!

    1. Ohhh right, this must be quite handy while walking the dog(s) isn’t it ! Yeah, the narrator does make a difference, I see it.. now i dont know how to choose myself so eeh 😅

      I haven’t started one yet! I bought a standard pre-made planner in july, which had the rest of 2017 and the whole 2018; so I have quite a while in it. For now I don’t really decorate it either.. just keeping notes of my day and blablabla …
      Well, I wish you goodluck on your soon-to-be goals list! 💕

  19. I hope you can manage to achieve all of these goals in the coming year! The one about less gaming and more reading before bed made me smile. We all have those things which distract us from reading sometimes… 😛 And being consistent with blogging can be really difficult sometimes (I struggle with that) so I hope you can achieve it!

    1. Thank you! Yep… I still haven’t started that one 😂🙈 although I acquired a little camping lamp, gaming is too much appealing ..

  21. It is nice to explore book formats – at first I was skeptical, but now I really enjoy all book formats and I find it easy to keep track of my reading better (if that makes sense).

    Have a great year! I hope you will accomplish all of your goals!
