2014

I'm not usually one to be overly enthusiastic about a new year. Usually, I'm with the masses going, "It's just another year / you can start change within yourself at any point." I never understood the big deal with New Years Resolutions so I never made any or felt compelled to stick with them.

I'm feeling a little different this year. When looking back on 2013, I've had some good times. But I've also had some things happen that I think I could have handled better/prevented. Reflecting on this, I just feel compelled to focus on self-improvement. Unfortunately, I have no clear direction on how I want to go about that, but I am working on it.

This year I wanted to make goals for each month that would focus on me just becoming better. A better friend, girlfriend, overall human being, whatever. "Better" is really subjective, but it is also relatively easy to obtain. After all, if I'm doing slightly better than yesterday, then I am automatically doing better.

I don't know what exactly I'm going to focus on improving each month; I think for January I'm just going to focus on exercise since I started on that before the end of 2013. We will see though, as I haven't one hundred percent committed to that yet. I will hopefully have a post on my goals for January up soon. My bookish/blog-focused goals will go up next Tuesday with Broke and Bookish's Top Ten Tuesday. Once I have goals for each month lined up, I will try to post them and at the end of the month, let you all know how I did.

Do you have any goals for 2014 or even just the month of January? What are they? Leave them in the comments. 

Blogging New Year's Resolutions

So I am a little late on this but better late then never! I don't generally like doing New Year's Resolutions because I am a believer in constant change, but I thought I would share the changes I would like to make with my blogging habits.

1. Blog more consistently 
Yes, I am busy nine months out of the year with school stuff. But I am still reading for the most part. Or at least I am trying to read throughout those nine months. But I really get caught up with my reading challenges over breaks. Let's say this averages out to about one book a week (and it usually does because I read about 50 books in one year). This means I can post at least one review every other week, since I have trouble reviewing some books. And so I don't forget I can write them in advance and queue them up Which bring me to my next change.

2. Review more books
Some books I find that I have nothing interesting or intelligent to say about them. Or I have trouble figuring out exactly what I want to say. I feel like I can work on this. I am going to work on this.

3. Interact more with my subscribers.
There are around 10 of you and I would like to get to know all of you better.

What are your blogging resolutions?
