Q3 Goals & Halfway Through 2021

Share The Love!

July!?! JULY! Quarter 2 of 2021 has ended and Q3 has officially begun. Q3 is my favourite! It’s summer, the days are longer, and I’m so happy to be living closer to the beach.

We’re officially been here in Milton for 3 months, and it definitely feels like home. We’ve painted our kitchen, and dining room, and just this week we had 7 new windows installed! Still lots to do though, we’ve ordered a new metal roof, and are planning on adding some insulation to the front part of the house, that doesn’t have any!

Let’s recap my Q2 goals:

Get to inbox zero – I made a good dent in my inbox, but I still have lots sitting there to be dealt with. I have managed to delete thousands of emails over the past 3 months, but unfortunately with more coming in, it was hard to keep up. 

Get 2 more VA clients – I have officially signed on 4 VA clients in the last 3 months! I’m so excited that they have chosen me to help them with their business. I’m putting a pause on accepting new clients for now! So grateful I started this business

FB ads course – I didn’t even touch my FB ads course, however I have been taking a course on Instagram reels. Trying to make time each week for continuing education, I’ll try to be better at that going forward!

Continue strength training – I haven’t completed as many strength training workouts as I wanted, but mostly because I have been opting for walks since the weather has been good. 

Quarter 3 Goals

Stay Under Budget For Groceries

Our grocery budget has been out of control since we moved. I think it’s a combination of groceries being more expensive here, not planning ahead, and indulging in more treats.  Our budget will be $175 every 2 weeks, I’m considering going back to a cash budget, we’ll see!

Set Up The Profit First System

I’ve been reading Profit First by Mike Michalowicz, and although I’ve already been doing a lot of the things he sets out in his book, I want to officially set up the system. 

It’s very similar to the sinking funds I use for my everyday life, so it should be very easy for me to get the hang of, I just need to head to the bank and set it up.

Go To The Beach Once A Week

I know it sounds silly to write this on a goals list, but I need to remind myself that the beach is really close, and I need to enjoy it. I want to go at least once a week for a walk, or to sit and enjoy.

2021 Goals Update

I thought I’d also do an update on my big yearly goals, since we are halfway through 2021!

Work Location Independent

Check mark! I can work from wherever I am, and that makes me so happy! I left massage therapy when we moved, and haven’t looked back!

Renovate Our New House Within Budget

I have a blog post coming up with the financials of our new house, but for now I’ll just say that we are in budget so far, but some options projects will be pushed back!

Eat More Veggies

I’ve definitely been more intentional about having more veggies. I find getting meal kits helps with my vegetable intake (but not necessarily my budget!!). Even if it’s just adding some cucumber slices to my plate, I’ve been a lot better.

Read 14 Books

I’m currently reading book #5, so I’m very behind! I went through a period between February and mid April where I had no interest in reading. Now that summer is here, covered porch reading will be on my agenda!

That’s it! I have lots of great blog posts lined up for you, I can’t wait to share them.
