Monthly Goals: August

It has been brought to my attention that recurring posts are the thing to do. And true to form, I have decided to jump on the bandwagon. I am going to start with doing monthly goal posts, hopefully I will be able to complete these goals each month and find something new to strive for.
So as I sit here, babysitting for my next door neighbours, sitting as far to the left as I can so as to still be connected to my home Wi-Fi, and buzzing from one (okay, two) coffee's, I've decided to give it a go.

AUGUST

1. Complete Couch to 5k three times a week. I have been doing this for awhile, however due to my lack of consistency I have been stuck on week 1 for about a month. Earlier in the week I finally decided to try week two (with longer running durations and shorter rests) and was suprised with myself. I hope to continue to move through this program at the proper time frame and build up my stamina.
2. Read 6 books. Atonement. The Book Theif. The Memory Keeper's Daughter. The Wild Things. A Little Princess. The Secret Garden.
3. Make a budget AND stick to it! I plan to document exactly where all of my money goes and aim to save up the remainder of what I need to buy my new laptop.
4. Stay up to date with all of my university work and readings. I aim to complete (at least) one Pomorodo cycle per day, to build up my discipline and concentration.
5. Push on with my Project 10 Pan, trying to use up as many products as I can. I want to ensure that I take time out every day to complete this. By this I mean giving myself time in the morning to do proper make-up application, and also in the evening to apply hair treatments, fake tan and any other skincare products I've got hanging around. I also want to build up a beauty bank so that I have some money ready for when I finish my P10P.
6. Watch the first season of Mad Men. This is a goal I don't think I'll have any trouble completing.
7. Finally, I aim to work on my blog by posting every day (eek!)
