I’m back with another month of goals! Let’s see how I did on my October ones first.
Create a great couple’s costume.Check. I’d say our Bonnie and Clyde turned out pretty good.- Check out Old World Wisconsin’s Legends & Lore. Nope. In my defense, it was exceptionally cold last weekend. Plus Stranger Things just came out. (I’m the worst.)
- Make three (or more) apple recipes. Not even one! The month got away from me kitchen-wise. Good thing apples keep a long time.
- Anything tarot. Stop trying to make tarot happen, Lisa. It’s not gonna happen.
Scary stuff.Done! I’ve been listening to Lore and Welcome to Night Vale, and watching Unsolved Mysteries, Salem and Murder Maps all month long.
2/5. Not my best month, but that’s OK. Not every Halloween can be the spookiest.
- Finish half my Christmas shopping. I cannot deal with the stress of last-minute shopping. I can hardly deal with the stress of on-pace shopping. My goal this year is to have half my gifts purchased before December rolls around so I can maximize my baking and crafting time closer to Christmas.
- Have a cozy Black Friday in. Last year, for the first time in my adult life, I had the day after Thanksgiving off of work. To really celebrate the day, I spent a good portion of it in my jammies and then I made Michael take me to see Fantastic Beasts. I feel part two coming on this year.
- Unplug a bit. I do not need to look at Facebook on my phone multiple times a day. I do not need to keep up with every Snapchat. I do not need to answer every text immediately. To separate myself from technology a bit (not entirely, though – I love this blog, I love my job and I love Etsy) I’m going to take a step back, remove Facebook from my phone and get comfortable with not having it nearby all the time.
- (Lightly) rebrand Kaminski Handicraft. I’ve got something up my sleeve for next month, so I think a very light rebrand for my Etsy page and business cards is in order.
- Make 5+ new designs for Kaminski Handicraft. Ambitious! If you have any good ideas for hoops you want to see, I’m all ears!
That’s it for me this month, and seriously, folks, if you have any ideas, send them my way!
“Stop trying to make tarot happen, Lisa. It’s not gonna happen.”
That cracked me up. 🙂
Good luck with the rest of your goals for the month!
Saw this via Writes like a Girl. Good on luck your goals (I really enjoyed taking most apps off my phone….. of course, they are all back on now, because I had a baby and I caught up on social media during his morning feedings. Should take a page from your book and delete FB from the phone again….)
I’m only a few days in, but I’m definitely more productive! I think it’s a good middle ground between total obsession and deleting my account entirely.
I love this. I’ve really been trying to scale down my to-do list during the holidays so I can really enjoy them this year. Fewer errands, more pajama days!
