In 2018 I set myself 18 goals for the year. Slightly over ambitious, not all were big life goals some were smaller and simpler but I didn’t complete them all.
I did manage to tick off:
- Join a society at uni.
- Get a new tattoo.
- Get better at eyeshadow.
- Visit a new place.
- Get back to the gym.
- Put myself out my comfort zone.
- Get a new job.
For 2019, I want to set smaller goals and if I complete I’ll then set some more. So here they are:
1. Save money
It’s time to start being an adult and thinking about the future. Mortgages, cars, holidays. I have a really big holiday coming up this year which I need to save for. I also have big travel plans for finishing uni and if I don’t start saving now I am never going to achieve them.
2. Pass the second year of university.
This was a goal I had last year and it didn’t happen, which was probably the best thing for me as I got to move to a new university and onto a course that I love. However, now that I am on a course I love I want to put in more effort and pass the year without worrying.
3. Go on holiday.
I have been with Nick for 5 years. We live together but have never been on holiday alone together. This will be changing in May as for my Christmas we have booked to visit Iceland! I cannot tell you how excited I am for this holiday I’m already planning away.
4. Read two books a month.
Reading is one of my favourite things and I really don’t set enough time aside for it so I am making an effort this year to read. Even a chapter a night before bed should see me hit this goal. For this month I have already hit this goal which I am super happy about.
5. Start a YouTube channel
This has been something I have wanted to do for a while. Now we have a camera and some exciting trips planned for the year I am hoping to create some amazing content.
What are your goals for 2019? Let me know in the comments!
I’ve got a reading goal for this year, so good luck with your 2 books a month! Also you would be amazing on YouTube!
Love, Amie ❤

Hope it goes well for you, I have been loving reading again! Thank you, I just need to bite the bullet and make some content for YouTube!
Have an amazing time in Iceland!! Sounds like such a great trip. I don’t really set myself big yearly goals, the only one I really have this year is to read more x

Thank you! I am so excited about it. Reading seems to be one for most people this year!
Saving is a big one for me too this year as I’m awful with money! I really love that you want to get a new job too; that’s also on my list x

Thank you! I think I will start uploading some things in February!
I love the you’ve recognised that smaller goals are more manageable for yourself!
My and my OH have been together nearly 7 years, and we’ve never been abroad together. We do live together and we’ve done UK trips – but abroad! Hoping to change that this year 🙂

Hopefully, you can get a trip abroad planned for this year!
Love these goals, especially the reading one. I love to read too but somoften feel guilty if I spend time doing it. It’s nice to have the reminder that setting aside time for things you love is important.💛
Yes definitely! Even just allocating an hour before bed for reading makes such a difference!
Hi love this post, this year sounds like it’s going to be a good one for you.
You’re fist goal of saving money is literally the hardest thing for me to do! 😂 good luck with all your goals for this year.
If you have a chance would love for you to have a look through my blog

Thank you I am hoping to upload some content in February!
I feel the same way. Me and Liam haven’t been on holiday but we going Disneyland Paris for my birthday this year!
How exciting! That will be such a fun trip
Looks like you had a very successful 2018, achieving some great things. You have great goals for 2019! I have always wanted to start YouTube, but far too self conscious for that 😂🙈 I would subscribe to you, so let me know when you take the plunge! 2 books a month sounds great! I need to read more this year for sure! Thank you for sharing ❤️xx
Thank you! I think getting started is going to be the worst part but I am hoping to upload some things in February. I’ve started dedicating an hour before bed to reading and it has made such a difference!
That’s great!
I will subscribe no worries 😊
Those are some great goals – I feel like setting smaller goals that are more achievable helps you stick to them, rather than the bigger ones that can feel like such a fail when it doesn’t go your way. How exciting that you’re going to Iceland!!! I went to Reykjavik last summer and it was amazing. I hope you have a great time when it comes around ☺️

I definitely think that life can get in the way too much for big goals! Ah I’d love some advice / info about Iceland if you have any, I am so excited x
Those are some great goals! I hope you will achieve them! Creating a YouTube channel is on my list as well, but it kind of scares me haha
Xx
It is a scary thing but I am hoping to start uploading content in February! Everything is scary the first time but I am hoping it becomes easier!
That is definitelty true! I hope so too!
