2013 Goals for Reading/Blogging/Life in General

I did this last year, and it helped me set myself up for the upcoming year. I think this will be a fixed feature on January 1 of each year I blog.

One of my resolutions for 2013 is to be more organized – in life and in blogging. After Bloggiesta this past September, I came up with a blogger planner – a calendar/to-do list specifically for blogging. It was really helping me stay on top of reviews and planning posts in advance. Between work and the holidays, that kind of fell to the wayside, but I plan on going back to using it.

Reading Goals:

• Reading Challenges – I really enjoy participating in these
  (posts will go up in the next few days for the challenges I am signing
  up for) and I have picked ones this year that I really want to do.
• My bookshelves – Once again I am going
  to concentrate on reading the books I already have. To this end, I purposefully selected reading challenges that will lend to reading my own books.

Blogging Goals:

• Reviews – I am hoping to stay current with my reviews – and using my blogging planner will definitely help with this.
• Commenting – I am hoping to be more diligent on responding to comments left on my blog as well as commenting on all the blogs I follow.

Personal Goals:

• Exercise
  – Despite some injuries that have sidelined me throughout the past year, I really enjoy working out and plan on making exercise part of my everyday life. I am really into yoga and meditation and plan on making these a priority in 2013.
• Organization – This will be the major focus for me in 2013. I plan on going room by room through my whole house, getting rid of what is not necessary and making sure everything that stays has a place – no more piles of stuff all around!

I
have really come to enjoy blogging and look forward to this upcoming
year. Have you created any reading or blogging goals for the year?
