Woohoo!! I love talking goals and sharing resets! I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know in the comments if you make it all the way through and what your goals are for the year or quarter! It's going to be a GOOD ONE!!!

I don't make any goals until March. Winter is the season of rest so I go with nature and I start mulling over but don't make any changes. I found that the last few years I've gone with this, I've been more productive, more rested and more successful throughout the year.

I usually do my goal planning in stages starting in November but couldn't for this year, this might by what I try because I spent the first few weeks of the year beating myself up over night having it done, but here in mid-February and it's still not set up the way I want.

Same, my goals start March 21st. Rest and reflection and prep work is Jan and Feb

Increase my income, but not decrease my joy! I love that!! 🎉

i always use january as my reset month. i feel like i am so stressed with holiday stuff that trying to "fix my life for the new year" in like a week after the holidays is too hard. for january i used the whole month to reflect and set up the baby steps to help me succeed for the rest of the year.

Such a good idea to have January your foundational month. The holidays are busy enough, so it’s nice to not worry about it so much then

How wonderful that your graduate students send you copies of their published books. Very rewarding for a teacher!

I liked the lists that you put up on the screen so we could read along as you talked about your goals . I watched all the way to the end, I always do because I enjoy your videos! I just started this week meeting with 2 other writers in an accountability group, and that feels really good. We are all beginning writers and we all hope to publish our first book this year. I feel encouraged by them as I struggle to get all the little fiddly details in place to get my author business going.

I love the jar idea! I might try the same and put my 2024 post it’s in a frame of some kind

I’m just someone who likes to see things labeled…lol. Anyway, I’m also planning to make a new kanban board for my indie publishing timeline that I made up too. I made drawings of both of these in my journal and can’t wait to put them up on my bedroom wall. Some of my goals might seem small, but it’s just me pacing myself and being realistic.

My biggest goals for 2024 is to grow my channel and to keep learning how to make my videos better.

I have two main focuses for 2024, and those are my book sales and my Wattpad. My absolute dream is to earn back the money I’ve spent publishing my books (I rebranded last year and renamed/republished my book series), but that’s going to take a LOT of sales 😅. I also want to build my Wattpad reads and engagement. I’ve published my best book ever on there, and I truly hope it gets more reads. I also plan to write and publish at least one more book in that series for my Wattpad.

My big goal is to see an endocrinologist. I want to see if some solutions to my health are from the endocrine system. For writing: I have 2 books and a short story collection that are ready for publishing except for copy and proofreadings. I want to get at least 2 published by August so I can do a local author event. I also have a 4 book ready but it's the first in a series and I want to at least be outlining Book 4 before I publish that one. I lowered my reading goal from last year. Last year I had a goal of 40. I always have the same method of setting a reading goal: the number of books I read the previous year+1. 2024 goal 27. My biggest crafting goal is to learn how to tablet weave. I've done a couple already, but I want to be able to keep consistent tension and make 2 meters of trim.

Now it's get more sleep so I'm not such a grouch to my family and I have more energy to have fun with them and be fun to be around (extrinsic). Was: eat better to feel better (intrinsic). Now: eat better so I won't get migraines, so I can show up for my family in a good mood, instead of laying in a dark room by myself (extrinsic). Was: decorate my house because I deserve to live in a beautiful home (intrinsic ). Now: my friends and family deserve to experience beautiful surroundings and not a construction zone. 💖🌞🌵😷

I heard you mention signing up for your newsletter, but I don't recall you asking people to subscribe or 👍. If you want your numbers to increase you've got to ask people to participate. ... The best time to ask people to subscribe is when you say: I've got this video coming up so make sure you're subscribed and make sure you click the solid bell and not the outline of a bell.

In this video you mentioned it twice that one of your main goals (for years now) that you were trying to increase the number of subscribers to 75k, (26:45 and 38:43)... And my comment above was meant to say that if you did the basics more consistently that you might get those subscriber numbers faster and achieve your goal of 75k this year! Truthfully I can't remember the last time you reminded viewers to subscribe, but 🤫 my memory isn't too good these days. I know from personal experience that when I first started KZread, I would forget to subscribe and get notifications. So those reminders from channel owners really helped me. Also, "reminders" that they had more than one channel also helped me to subscribe to both. Ps. 🤫 There's nothing wrong with asking for people to both: sign up for your newsletter and to subscribe when you cover so much in one video. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵.
