Hi everyone and Happy Motivational Monday! It’s the first Monday of the new year so I thought I would share some of my 2017 goals and tips on how I plan to stay organized and achieve those goals. Plus I’m sharing the long-awaited Haute Off The Rack office closet tour along with a special giveaway at the bottom of the post!
My 2017 Goals:
- Travel more and bring Blake along! We’ve already booked an 18 day trip to Italy and Greece, but I would also love to visit some new places in the US too. Other places on my list include: Napa, Vermont, Canada, Cabo San Lucas (again), Nashville, Washington D.C., New York (always), Chicago and
- Save up for a house! My goal is to buy or start building a house at the beginning of 2018.
- Exercise & eat better! I plan to do some type of physical activity at least four times a week even if it means just going for a walk or riding my bike.
- Maintain a clean and organized home! This one is difficult for me because we live in such a tiny house. However, since I work from home, I need a clean space to help me stay focused and organized so this resolution is key to a successful new year.
- Learn Spanish! This has always been a goal of mine. In fact, I’ve had Rosetta Stone dowloaded on my computer for the last six months, but I’m finally going to sit down and do it at least once or twice a week starting now.
How I plan to stay organized & achieve my goals:
- Wake up earlier! I always complain about not having enough time in a day, but I know that waking up earlier can definitely help contribute to more hours in a day.
- If I put I workout clothes to leave the house, I must also work out!
- I mapped out a full 2017 editorial calendar to help me better plan trips and creative content for you all throughout the year.
- I’m going to stop saying “I’ll do it later.” I’m just going to suck it up and do what needs to be done right then and there. I strongly believe that this will help me keep my house and life cleaner as well as more organized.
We live in a rental home with only two bedrooms and little to no storage space so I came up with a way to create my own little makeshift walk-in closet. I hope you enjoy the tour!
