How I Track My Goals

After struggling to keep a planner this year I realized that I do have a method of organization that without it, I'd be totally lost and unprepared. I thought I'd break down my method for setting goals, tracking habits, and sticking to projects.

Tip #1 Break Your Year in Quarters - Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4

Tip #2 Know Your Short Term & Long Term Goals

Tip #3 Create weekly habits to achieve your goals

Tip #4 Review Your Month in Stages - Beginning, Middle, End

Tip #5 Set Time for Play

Tip #6 Have a Wall Calendar / weekly calendar / a cork board for inspiration or receipts

Tip #7 Set Alarms

Tip #8 Be Realistic and Flexible

Tip #9 Learn to make a budget and stick to it

Tip #10 Plan the Night Before

For Reselling, my biggest tips for tracking progress is to set goals that are attainable and achievable, and to do that, you need data. I was able to push myself little by little every month to where I almost make $400 per month.

Keep a list of everything you sell that year using an excell sheet.

Keep all your receipts. Using pirate ship is a great way to keep track of all your shipping costs.

Review what sold every week.

Make sure you check in on your goals to see if you are meeting your stats.

Make sure you write down your monthly goals.

Write down your goals for every quarter.

have a lot of time for reflection! Every week is a good chance to reward yourself for your hard work and see how you can improve.
