February 2017 Goals
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.

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?
I love the look of that habit tracker – the colours look so pretty! I hope it makes a difference 😉
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.
Wonderful tracker, I use a very simular one in my bullet Journal. Great blogging goals also!
Great post and wonderful goals! Especially writing some snail mail. Everyone loves to get a real letter! What grade do you teach? Bless you, because all teachers are saints as far as I am concerned.
Thank you so much for following my blog – I am honored. Please pop in any time for a visit _ I would appreciate your comments!
PS I love the name Divya!
I don’t have a tracker of my habits, but I am a huge habit implementer. Habits make eveything so much easier. Love that you are doing what is right for you.
Great posts! I love how achievable they are as well with a little bit of effort. I need to update my old posts too!! Nikki x
I write my goals weekly in my planner and read them daily. It helps me focus and stay accountable. We have some similar goals that KS for sharing yours and a great way to track and hold yourself accountable.
Nice idea to write goals each month and see how much we actually achieved at the end of the month ! Happy February dear
Love your layout Divya….very clean and thought out. Wishing you well on your Feb. goals..
Wow, I definitely need that habit tracker in my life!! This month, I want to try and send out more pitches to magazines/websites and update my blog a bit!!!
Excellent goals – good luck in achieving them!
Well, this is a new one one me! I love this idea of tracking your habits, what a great way to eliminate some bad ones, and improve on the good ones. I need to go get this. Thanks so much for sharing
Love this idea of tracking habits to obtain goals. So smart!
A habit tracker is a great idea! You’ll have to let us know how it goes.
I love that you are checking your habits against your goals. That’s a great way to track your improvement this year and beyond! Great tip!

Good Goal. Hope you achieve each of them. All the best.
Love this list! Especially eat less, sweat more 🙂 best of luck this month accomplishing your goals and excited to see how you do!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Good Luck! I am waiting to hear the end results 🙂
Thank you for sharing! After reading this I realized how useful a habit tracker would be for me and to meet my goals! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
This habit tracker is a great idea! I also want to read more and this would be a great way to make sure I don’t forget and keep track of those days when I watch too much Netflix!
I love your goal of sweat more! Thats always a good one. I mean even 20 minutes of walking a day makes me feel good about myself!
I don’t have a habit tracker just my planner to keep me organized. This is great so that you can easily see your progress from month to month. My goals this month is to write more and prep better for next month. Good luck with you goals! If I were you I’d stay away from soda all together if you can, it will always have you wanting more 🙂
I need to set some healthy goals for the month too. I think it’s pretty cool that you’re going to work on writing more snail mail.
Good luck in accomplishing your goals! Nice idea to set up monthly goals, they are easier to follow up.
Love the goal for the blog. Might have to steal some of them!
Thanks for sharing your goals for this month. I would love to start including meditation in my days.
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!
Eat more. Sweat less. << These are life goals! (haha) I am working on promoting more affiliates this month as well as signing up for those my audience may like. You have some amazing goals for the month. I hope you accomplish them all.

I like this post especially February health goals. I don’t have February goals but I am trying to make better my lifestyle!
Great goal for this month. I love the tracking for everything. I need this to keep me going.
I never can find good affiliate programs, not sure if I just get bad luck or what. I have to add this to m must to list for the month as well! Hope you reach your goals
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 love the idea of a habit tracker! What a cute idea. Way to kick your goal’s butt.
I just started a habit tracker as well! Although several of my habits im still kind of failing at, i do like that daily reminder to do them!
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!
We share a few similar goals for month of February. I would definitely like to excersise more and to eat healthier. 🙂
Good Luck with your February goals.
Happy Friday and Have a great weekend.
:):) xoxo
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.
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!
Hi there! Your habit tracker is so clean-looking and your goals are great! Can’t wait to see how you do!
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.
My February goals are to 1) learn to better my blogging game, 2) take more photos, 3) email more, and 4) meet more people.
I’ve been trying to eat more healthy this month too. It’s hard when you are addicted to chocolate.
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.
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
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.
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!
You have great goals! I love that you set them monthly and do your recaps! Such a great way to stay accountable!
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.
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!
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!
THANK YOU for posting this Habit Tracker…I love it! I think it would really help me with writing down and tracking my goals!
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!
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.
