March Goals
Reset time.
I’d like to think that, unofficially, 2026 started yesterday. I don’t want to think about the last two months because they sucked and I’m at the point where I’m in the motions so deep, I have to just force myself into doing things. To be honest, I’m not sure I set February goals. I think I did but with the idea that they could easily go out the window with the death of my grandfather.
It’s been a month and I need to get to work. Not even because “it’s been long enough” to grieve or anything like that, but I want to get back to work because I feel in the last few months, even before all of this happened, I’ve lost a lot touch with my creative side and I miss it.
For so long in my life, I didn’t think of myself as a creative. I can’t draw to save my life, I’m not big on arts and crafts. So as a kid and even a young adult, I always felt that because I didn’t like those things, I couldn’t be creative.
It time and work to accept that I am creative, even if it looks different than what I grew up believing. But lately, I feel so out of touch from that side and I need to find my way back. So, my goals this month are a combination of trying to get back to that, but also taking care of things that will take up clutter in my brain so I can focus on my creativity.
March Goals
Writing Goals
brainstorm a new version of my stand-alone book, Lost in the Canyon. I needed to change up my writing schedule, so I’ll be brainstorming and outlining this month to give myself plenty of time to get it ready to write in April.
Marketing Goals
finish redoing my author website, I’m rebuilding it and redesigning it in spurts.
post on social media regularly, you know, to promote my books.
Health & Wellness Goals
Journal at least 3 times a week. I’ve been using the Apple Journaling app off and on this year, and I love it because it syncs with my devices, so I can start on my phone and pick up on my computer if it’s a long journal entry.
Plan for Quarter 2. Needless to say, Quarter 1 was kind of nightmare, so we’ll plan for Quarter 2 this month with the HB90 method.
Other Goals:
Spring clean my house
find a new job
read 10 books
maybe go to the pool at the end of the month? I usually wait until April, but I went mid-March last year and it was 85 degrees or more multiple days this past week in February, so I think we might go the last weekend of March if it’s still warm.
Spring going into Summer is always the time that I feel most at peace. The warm air, the sun on my skin, hitting the pool, I’m ready for the warmth. And to crush some goals I hope.
Here’s to hoping March is worth it.
