In this post I’ll be sharing my 2025 goals. I didn’t plan a ton of goals for this year, mostly because they’re things that will probably end up taking a long time to complete as well as things I just want to prioritize more of.
Let’s dive in!
1. Prioritizing God.
If you know me then you know that my faith is one of the most important things for me. And it’s easy for me to get caught up in all the things I need to get done with my work and go days without spending quality time with Him. I want to also glorify him in my writing and how I spend my time.
2. Publishing My Book.
For the past three years I have been working on an adult contemporary romance book. I feel like each draft I get through I feel better about publishing it. It will be a lot of work but if I push through enough, I think I can publish this year or early next year.
3. Read 24 Books.
Normally I can read a book in two weeks, but since I started writing haven’t been reading as much as I used too. Then when I have the time, I find myself scrolling on Instagram or TikTok instead.
So, I want to replace some of this time with reading instead of scrolling. 24 books seems doable.
4. Learn Spanish.
This one applies to my personal life as well. I have met several new people over the past year who aren’t fluent in English.
I would love to be able to hold a conversation with them and eventually in the future be able to translate my books into Spanish.
5. Drink More Water.
I used to drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day without drinking much of anything else but have had to start limiting how much I allow myself because of my headaches.
I will allow myself to have my first and only cup in the morning while I start my day then in the afternoons switch to water and drink this for the rest of the day.
6. Working on Managing My Time Better.
Since I started taking my writing more serious 5 years ago. I have struggled with finding and managing my writing/work time. I’d get up in the mornings to start working then by the afternoons I’d get lazy or switch over to doing things around the house and every now and then squeeze in a little bit of work at night.
Time is such a limited resource, and I want to just use some of the afternoon time a bit more wisely.
Well, these are the six goals I will be focusing on in 2025.
