For The Love of Books Blog 
I’m impressed with all your goals! I’m sure you’ll be able to manage all of that easily. My goals are simple, I’m just trying to get my book review blog off the ground. I’d love for you to check it out if you have the time at themustreads.com
Other than that, I’ve made a goal to read 50 books this year. I read 62 last year, but I’ve started working on getting my Master’s degree in teaching, so I know I won’t have as much time to read this year as I usually do. Do you have any tips for someone who is just starting out with a book blog? I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Blimey, so many goals! I have a few big resolutions and then smaller goals every few months to help meet those resolutions and check myself often. For example, if I want to get in shape, I make the goal to go to the gym 3x a week to start and see how that goes! Good luck.

Some of those would be on my list too but I couldn’t cope with that number of different goals. How on earth do you keep track of them all?

I keep looking back on them all each month. I donāt necessarily plan on completing all of these but Iād like to achieve as many as possible. Itās always nice to review the goals at the end of the year to see how far Iāve come. š

Wow. That’s a lot of goals, how do you manage them all? I loved doing NaNoWriMo, did you know of CampNaNoWriMo? I did that last year. I don’t really have many goals, for some reason if I have too much to do I get overwhelmed so I’ve scrapped the meditate everyday, exercise, writing, read this and blog every week.. I’m focusing on finishing my first draft on my novel which was on hold last year. My other two goals are fun: read books I keep meaning to read and cook new recipes. Best of luck! Remember to have fun and chill too š

I try and look over them each month. Theyāre more of a guideline for me to look back on at the end of the year to see if I achieved any. I donāt expect to achieve them all, but if I complete some Iāll be happy. š Not heard if it before, what is CampNaNoWriMo? Glad you enjoyed it last year! If goals overwhelm you, youāre definitely doing the right thing and I hope youāre able to finish your first draft of your novel this year! Thank you š

Camp NaNoWriMo is like the normal one but you choose your own goal. You are put into cabins or set up your own where you can chat to the people in your cabin. Good luck with your goals
