I’m back with my goals for the month!
Well, sort of.
I sat down to write goals and realized I needed better, more consistent habits to help me be more accountable for my overall goals. (So I don’t make the same mistake I made this month!)
I downloaded a ‘Habit Tracker’ template from Clementine Creative’s website and sat down to match up my “habits” with the goals I’d like to accomplish.
Source: Clementine Creative
February Health Goals:
- Eat less.
- Sweat more.
- Reduce my impulsive urge to go through the drive-thru for soda.
- Meditate.
February Personal Goals:
- Write more snail-mail.
- Write in my journal.
- Bring back my Happiness One-Sentence-A-Day book and use it daily.
- Read. If only 10 pages a day.
February Blogging Goals:
- Write extra posts this month to bank. (For days I’m too lazy to wake up at 4:30AM and write a decent blog post).
- Sign up for more affiliate programs.
- Update my old posts to include better keywords.
- Set up Buffer to push out old posts.
Hopefully, by tracking these habits daily, I’ll be more successful this month. Wish me luck!
Questions of the Day:
- What are your February goals?
- Do you have a habit tracker template you use?
Dominique says

Carrie Willard says
That habits printable looks cool. I create a simple one in my BuJo (there’s that word again 😉
I make goals yearly, not really monthly. Things I want to do this month:
– close on our house!!! So, packing.
– finish studying the MSoAM course
– make sure all my pin boards and top pins have good SEO descriptions.

Woah I need to get this! Seriously it’s like an accountability partner without the human element but better really because it is ALWAYS there for you!
I am giving up on affiliates because brands are always changing who they partner with and leaving my blog with broken links Uggg.
I hear you on getting ahead of posting! I am working on that as well.
I am seriously going over to the link to check this out! Thank you!

I actually use HabitRPG (http://www.habitica.com) for habit tracking. It gamifies habits and to do lists in a quirky fun RPG way.

I have a vision board and it has worked well for me. I am thinking about starting something monthly also. This is a great suggestion.

I always have to resist the urge to get drive through frozen soda! I thought you wrote swear more which made me laugh but then I realized you said sweat more which is also a great goal!

Sara @Saraduggan.me says
Hi, Divya. I use a big wall tracker. I made it in December to track my ‘going off of coffee’ goal. Well, that didn’t get past day 20. Coffee keeps me alert in order to work. ^_^
I still use the tracker, though. I use it for daily exercise, daily reading, and daily sitting. LOL, I know you’re probably like, “sitting?”. Meditative sitting. ^_^
I shared your post on StumbleUpon as I know I’ll want to follow up next month to see how you did.
Have a lovely weekend,
❤ Sara @ SaraDuggan.Me

I like reading your blog posts. Your goals give me inspiration to make my everyday better. Thank you for a worthy read.
Mary Varville-Rodriguez says
The tracker sheet looks incredible. I would like to believe I can benefit from one of these. Right now, I am at least tracking ideas, topics needing research, etc…in my planner. I hope to graduate to more formal system of organization eventually. Writing daily notes is a first step for me. I’m going to keep this post as a resource for later. Thanks for sharing this strategy!
Brittany says
Hi there! Your habit tracker is so clean-looking and your goals are great! Can’t wait to see how you do!
Tina Gleisner says
Very organized but not ready to write on paper … hmm (have taped somethings to keyboard though).Thanks for sharing & good luck with your goals.

These are great goals. My goals for February are to make more money through campaigns on my blog and get through this last month 1/2 of pregnancy.
Chrissy says
My February goals are to 1) learn to better my blogging game, 2) take more photos, 3) email more, and 4) meet more people.
Toughcookiemommy says
I’ve been trying to eat more healthy this month too. It’s hard when you are addicted to chocolate.
Danielle says
Love the habit tracker!! I also love your goal of sending out snail mail. I just headed over to Buffer, and see they have a free option! I may need to check that out.
Shorikka says
This is totally cool.
I dont have that app. But I need to go over my goals again because I did accomplish all 3. I take 1 goal at a time. 1 goal a week
Marielle Altenor says
I never thought of getting a habit tracker before. I can see how that would be beneficial too. It only takes 30 days to learn a habit. My goals for February is to be better with time managing.
Lisa Rios says
Every new year starts with new goals and it is a fresh start for everyone of us every month. Your health goals are quiet inspiring and I would really need to set myself goals on Blogging as well to make the best of it!
Jessica Bradshaw says
You have great goals! I love that you set them monthly and do your recaps! Such a great way to stay accountable!
kerbey says
Just reading that made me go get a soda. In my defense, I just mowed the yard, so I worked up a sweat, which you included as a goal.
Vicky says
I haven’t really set specific goals for February, but overall a traffic increase would be great. My first interview about my blog goes live in the next few weeks and I’m continually updating and tweaking my social media strategy so hopefully it will pick up soon!
Dawn says
I’m with you on the soda and eating less. I haven’t had any soda since the first week in January but I really want it bad recently! Something I need to work on it everyday. You can do it!
Amy H. says
THANK YOU for posting this Habit Tracker…I love it! I think it would really help me with writing down and tracking my goals!
Jess says
These are great goals and that looks like a great habit tracker! I’ll have to check it out. My goals this month are to write more blog posts and meditate at least 4 days a week.
Good luck with your goals!

Wow, I love this post! I think I need to copy this habbit! It’s nice to set different kind of goals and making a list of this. Thanks for sharing your idea!
Author Brandi Kennedy says
I think this is likely to help you a lot! Tracking habits daily helps keep you really conscious of what you’re doing with your time and how you’re managing the time you have each day. It doesn’t change things right away, but it does make you more mindful – or at least, it does for me. And that’s where the change comes from.
