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.

What Sold in my bookshop October 1 - 7

🎃👻This is the first week of October! Let's see how much I made. Sadly this was my slowest week in sales in 3 months - only 6 sales!

November Plan With Me / 2020

I have an online secondhand bookshop using Etsy, Depop, and Mercari. I also have a rare nerve disease called CRPS that is gradully getting worse. Hyla brook Books isn't just a distraction, it's a benediction. I applied for my dream job: an children's librian assistant at the library. I had hope that I could make a living of $300/ week reselling - but my record sales in a month was $351.13 (August report). It's my dream to make a living selling my art and books.  What are my top 3 goals for the month of November? Make $390 - sell my art work - list 300 items across all platforms What are my weekly goals to accomplish my monthly goals? One resin project a week - make a scheduling routine-  focus on books with high resell value - create space to photograph  What could I have done differently in the previous month to improve my shop revenue? List every day 2-4 items or 10-15 listings. Use art to heal. Engage more. List clothes! | How Much Did I Make in October ?...

What Happened To the Declutter Deathpile Series?

 There were two main objectives in the Declutter Deathpile series, or The Minn Game: 1. Get rid of clutter by removing items from my apartment.  "out with the old, in with the new."  "everything must go"  "letting go of what no longer serves my business" and not listing items that are not worth my time. 2. complete within 30 days removing 1 pound of stuff on day 1, 2 pounds of stuff on day 2, and so on and forth. "a weight off my shoulders" "quantifying how much I let go." "make sure items are removed by midnight that day" I had planned to make consistent content, a video update every 3 days throughout the month I cleaned out stale inventory.  Declutter My Deathpile / The Minn Game / Days 1 & 2 New Years Resolutions Declutter with Me// Reseller Deathpile/ Days 3,4,5 of The Minn Game Declutter my Deathpile with Me / The Forgotten Stories / A Poem Declutter my Deathpile day by day / reseller plays minamlist game I want to br...
