Since I&#8217;ve been blogging, about goals, I get far more done than I really ever think I&#8217;ll get done. I put more work into my blog and in my personal life when I have goals that I can see and cross off. I mark them as I do them. Yes some are simple and easy to do. Others take more time and might take all month.<\/p>\n<p>This month is a very different month for me. I have not really been healthy over the last year. I&#8217;ve had some slightly serious medical problems. And now I&#8217;m gaining my health back. My health comes before everything and if it means saying no to people. That is what I&#8217;m going to do. If it means pushing back on making something because I made my health first, that is what will happen. October&#8217;s theme for my family will be health and fitness first.<\/p>\n<p>So what are you goals this month? Leave a goal you are working on in the comments!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/3dinosaurs-monthlygoals.jpg\" alt=\"3 Dinosaurs Monthly Goals\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Blog Goals<\/h2>\n<p>I have huge goals for my blog the next little while. The first one will be a big one and then I hope to keep up with the smaller things I have started. The last month I will say I did not get as many goals completed as I would have hoped. But my reasons for that were really good. <\/p>\n<p>I do know next month and those to come, I&#8217;ll be working on a few more selling products. I know that selling stuff gets me hate mail, but I need to cover expenses more than I have been. I really do love creating things and putting them out for free. I love when I get comments and feedback from people as well. I encourage people to remember there and live people behind blogs not little machines that can make and do for everything at a moments notice. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Change hosts for my blog<\/li>\n<li>Start a News Letter<\/li>\n<li>Finish up next BIG Selling set for January<\/li>\n<li>Finish 2 smaller selling products<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t buy any new craft supplies, use only what I have or limit what we get<\/li>\n<li>Clean up my blogging area DAILY. I feel and work better when things are not cluttered. If it takes me 5 minutes to find something it is too messy.<\/li>\n<li>Update 2 old post each week or update two download pages with links to the blog. (ON GOING)<\/li>\n<li>Come up with a system to keep track of printables completed but not out.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a better list of projects started but not finished (I have around 33 projects started. I started lots of printables I did not finish this month.)<\/li>\n<li>Post more of our crafts and gross motor activities.<\/li>\n<li>Do a 30 days of Gross Motor Challenge for October &#8211; Post Coming Soon!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Family Goals<\/h2>\n<p>I can say that my goal of 15 minutes every day in decluttering has been amazing in what it did for my house! I got one room half way cleaned and I threw out so much stuff. I posted some pictures on <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/3dinosaurs\/\" target=\"blank\">Instagram<\/a> with my progress. I loved crossing off it daily on my to do list. I was amazed also how much more of my house remained clean at the same time. I also felt better about myself as well. Octobers family goal is to get some toys and older books out of the house.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep a TO DO LIST! I need this I get more done even if I don&#8217;t complete it all<\/li>\n<li>Declutter one area 15 minutes every day until one area is clean. The areas I&#8217;ll be cleaning are kitchen, stairs, my bedroom, the office room (Look for pictures on <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/3dinosaurs\/\" target=\"blank\">Instagram<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Have no laundry to fold at the end of the day. Then keep track on my to-do list, so I don&#8217;t forget laundry in washer.<\/li>\n<li>Remove some older toys and books from the girls room.<\/li>\n<li>Read more to my girls not less<\/li>\n<li>Add to the girls chore list<\/li>\n<li>Get the girls outside to play at least 3 times a week<\/li>\n<li>Plan out a gross motor month for us in October<\/li>\n<li>Plan out lunches and snacks for school<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Personal Goals<\/h2>\n<p>September has been a great month for my personally. I did let tons of projects and other things go and put me first. This was also the first month in over a year that I was not having major healthy problems and started to finally feel great. It is also the first month that I did not wonder if I would end up having an emergency surgery at some point. This last month has been a huge turn around for my physical health. I&#8217;m not feeling drain or sick all the time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daily Fitness &#8211; This means fitness comes before ANYTHING else. Including this blog and printables, yes this will be a challenge but health comes first. I did this in September and it make ME feel better and get more done.<\/li>\n<li>Make 10,000 steps EVERY day. I&#8217;ll be using a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00N2BW2PK\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00N2BW2PK&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=YI3OCZ3U3JBX634Z\">Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Activity Wristband<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=3dinos-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00N2BW2PK\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> to help with my tracking.<\/li>\n<li>Keep making healthy choices<\/li>\n<li>Work on a Daily, Weekly, Months Cleaning Chart<\/li>\n<li>Read 5 fun books during the month &#8211; Don&#8217;t always get new books, enjoy rereading books as well.<\/li>\n<li>Finish two books on my <a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/parenting-help-books\/\">self help and parenting books<\/a> list.<\/li>\n<li>Limit all sugar and no soda &#8211; VERY important<\/li>\n<li>Record all my food<\/li>\n<li>Stretch three times a day to avoid problems<\/li>\n<li>Color in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1780674880\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=1780674880&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=KC72RDNSTK7PNWDR\">coloring book <\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=3dinos-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1780674880\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> when I get stressed or need a mommy time out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I know the comment or message will come what no new printables?
