An Update

Hello! Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog! I am currently busy with school and reviewing. I'll be back when semester ends. In the meantime, kindly follow me on my Instagram at @armimarieee 

After the semester ends, I will be active on my blog again. I have already made some blog posts to be shared when I get back but some still needs polishing. Also, I am preparing something new. Details will be posted when I get back. 

Hope to see you here again soon! :) Take care!

Monthly Goals: August + Life Lately

It's that time of the month again, wherein I will share my goals for the month. To start, July wasn't really a good month. I was sick for almost the entire month. I'm feeling much better now but, the stress is slowly taking over my mind and body. Honestly, my body isn't really good in handling much stress. The more I force myself to do everything, the more stress is coming in. In my opinion, when I'm stressed the quality of my work sucks and, I don't like that.

So, this month, I will dedicate my time to do less to make more. The photo above is just a preview of my schedule for July. But, if you'll see my schedule for August, I'm sure you will cringe to see or even think how busy I am. The heart means it's a priority. On my August schedule, every weekday has at least 4 to 5 hearts. Basically, to be able to accomplish everything on my planner, I have to wake up by 4am or else, I will end up sleeping at 12mn.

From August 1 to this date, everything is not on my favor. My schedule has to be changed last minute and, most of my major tasks was needed to put on hold. Frankly, I dislike delay very much, especially if I know I have 5 priorities to accomplish and most of it are time-sensitive.

Anyway, what I'm trying to point out here is: If you are dealing with something similar to mine, what would you do? Would you lessen the priorities you have or keep pushing yourself to do everything even if you know you couldn't? I have thought about this deeply; I have chosen to let go of a priority because I don't want to jeopardize my other priority. It's hard to accept it but, it's okay to not do everything. Sooner or later, you will thank yourself for not juggling everything. Think about your health. Think about the things that might occur if you have forced yourself to your limit, would it be all worth it? I'm currently working on an article about this, I might post it after our exams.

Overview of my goals for August:

• Dedicate time to do less to make more.
• Focus on health

How about you? How was your July and, what are your goals this August? 

Monthly Goals: July

what my overview calendar used to look like. I made a new one today.

July will be the start of my very hectic schedule. 

Hello! How are you doing? I hope you are doing great! I am getting better from a cold. Take care of yourself! Don't get sick like me, okay? :)

Today, I am going to share my goals for the month of July. June went by so quickly, isn't it? I wasn't even able to accomplish all of my goals for that month. Lol! So, for this month, I made sure each goal is achievable and detailed. Let's start! 

• WORK 

01. Minimum 30 Lesson Hours - I started tutoring last June 14. So far, I am enjoying every lesson I have with my students. I think, setting a required hours would help me not over thinking it.

✗ 02. No Absent (office) - I am very thankful and lucky to continue working here. In return, I will try my best to not commit this and also, finish my tasks on time. Note: I will talk more about the story in a Self Improvement/How-To post.  

• BLOG

03. Three (3) Blog Posts in categories: a. Travel b. Self Improvement c. Style d. Beauty

✓ 04. 1k PageViews at the end of the month

• SELF 

05. Exercise 2x a week - I started working out yesterday, I was still sick but bearable. Also, twice a week is convenient for my schedule. 

06. Do Something Creative - I have an idea for this but not quite sure yet. Any suggestions? :)

07. Look Presentable 100% of the time - OKAY! So, I used to fix myself before I started being a working student, which was before September 2014. Now is a different story. I'd rather sleep than do my make up or fix my hair in the morning. I must change that habit.

✓ 08. Declutter Wardrobe -  I am going to do the Capsule Wardrobe. Note: I will talk more about this in a Style post

09. Donate Unused Clothes - This is partially finished! I just have to give it away. I will give the first batch tomorrow! :)

10. Finish reading a book then write about it - This one is a challenge! 

• JOURNAL Notebook

11. Keep Track with the Finance Tracker - I am going to be strict with my money starting this month. A finance tracker will help me know where most of my money is going to. Note: I will talk more about this in a Self Improvement/How-To post.

As you may have noticed, I didn't set any goals for my school. I don't usually set goals during the start of the semester. I set goals after our prelim exams. So, those are my goals for this month! What's yours?
