Goals and Aims for 2020

Happy New Year!

The new year is always a great time for me to set some new goals and aims. Not to put pressure on myself but just to give myself something to aim for.  For me, I find if I have some goals I can focus on these a little more and then hopefully achieve that little bit more.

Every month I do a little goal for the month post, where I plan the month coming and look back at the month that has just gone. However at the beginning of the year I like to plan the big goals for the whole year. One that will require a little more effort. Here are my goals and aims for 2020.

Personal – These are ones for us as a family to achieve:

1. Focus on our money – This year is a big year for us with money as I have big plans and goals. With this in mind, we need to stay focused on our outgoings and incoming.
2. Eat more of a variety – At the end of last year we got stuck in a rut with the same meals. This year I would like to start trying a few more dishes, including maybe trying out a few more vegetarian dishes to add to our menu.
3. Look after ourselves a bit more – Admittedly last year was a bit chaotic with all the house bits going on, this year is all about recharging and looking after ourselves a little better. Lazy days in, no work and just a bit of TLC.

Work – These goals are for the blog and other work sources for me to achieve:

1. Blog a regular schedule – I was doing quite well on the blog until the Christmas run-in. So now I want to be a little more regular on the blog.
2. Share more recipes – I would love to bring a bit more food to Mummy Vs Work. I love cooking and baking so it makes sense to share a bit more of that on my site.
3. Earn more – As always, I would like to earn a little more money on the blog this year.
4. Earn smarter – Tying into number 3, I am going to focus on spending time streamlining income rather than chasing income this year. I want to work smarter when it comes to making money, not harder.
5. Work on my traffic – Over the last year I have been working on my Pinterest and it was doing really well until they suspended my account, without any real explanation even after I asked. I did get it back however it has left me a little wary in using it. This year though I need to get back on this and the keyword work to help drive traffic.
