So, new years resolutions will be getting made but what do you have planned for the first month of 2023?  Do you have any set goals you've made or are you just trying to get into the swing of 2023?
For me, December I neglected my own self care a lot and defo over worked myself! So, a big focus for me is to get into a routine and get back on the workout train (I know, very cliche for the new year!). I am also looking to get actually organised so I'm going to get my filofax organised....you might be thinking 'is this lady secretly super old' and you may be right as I am a total filfax/stationary nerd
Share your January goals here and let's motivate each other | |||

"Mine is I need to stop getting fatter you look in very good shape to me,,"I agree with him! But I am the same....I guess as well as working out I should probably eat better too....but naughty foods are just so much yummier  | |||

"We have 2 Tough Mudder’s booked for 2023. We both need to get back in to the rout of working out regularly, it’s been to easy to come up with an excuse not to go the gym the last month or 2. I need to get fitter, stronger and lighter." Oh wow! I’ve never done one, you’re so badass booking in two! Good luck with the training though!  | |||

Mine are not revolutionary: to get back to reading more; to continue to be consistent at the gym, but to be more disciplined with the eating (you're right, it's just a damn shame the bad stuff tastes so good!); and to sort my diary out so I can plan whether I can do any of the big socials in the next few months..." See you say you need to sort out your diary but it would be so much easier if you had a Filofax 
Oh yes I remember your reading goal! What book are you thinking of starting with? | |||

And my main thing is to focus on bringing happiness to others, by being less in my own head but equally not putting up with crap. Real joy. And silliness.

"I am a last minute kind of person and it drives me mad. Everything I need to do gets jammed into a tiny timeframe piled on top of each other because there is always just enough time for me to do it all still, until there isnt(it always, always works out though) So, I am going to do things on a more timely manner and try and get the adrenaline rush from knowing I am Miss Organised instead of Miss Chaos. Bet you I dont "Oh my days I am exactly like you! Everything gets done after procrastinating and usually it all works out but it’s a mad dash/panic! And usually I end up stressed and missing out on sleep eek! I’m going to use you as motivation to try and not procrastinate as much….I’ll maybe start tomorrow next month hopefully you will get the Miss Organised crown | |||

I also need to weigh less than I currently do! " A birthday, even more depressing!! No, happy birthday in advance. I do the 5:2 diet roughly, so two days of the week I just have one meal of chicken and rice. Gives me my calorie deficit for the week and don't have to be miserable every day of the week! And I go to the gym, try to make at least 3 visits a week. I was doing very well then the world cup happened and I went straight home to watch football instead, then Christmas happened so my schedule is gone. | |||

"I'm not sure if it's a January specific goal but I'm going to be brushing up on my Italian for a very exciting holiday which I'm going to create a ringbinder for. I'm going to step up going to the gym. Not because it's a New Year, more because my vain self likes what she sees in recent videos/photos and wants to carry on. Also, sex is better when I'm a bit fitter.
And my main thing is to focus on bringing happiness to others, by being less in my own head but equally not putting up with crap. Real joy. And silliness.
"Oh my days I know I should be excited about your holiday but I just got all excited and was going to ask about your ring binder!
You have been doing so well with the gym! Are you feeling better for it? hehe ooooo I like silliness
I think happiness is going to be one of my focusses too. Defo just copying everyone’s goals | |||

I dont think its a big enough rush
But, lets do it! (Have 3 weeks of uni work to catch up on in a day before the term starts up again) | |||

I think happiness is going to be one of my focusses too. Defo just copying everyone’s goals "I've not purchased the ringbinder yet, might do so this week! Need to get organised and booking various things. Don't be excited about the holiday, I'm going to not post much about it bar vague planning references. Because I love love love planning. I think it stems from spending a summer working as a PA for a CEO. I'm feeling better for gyming yes. The past two weeks have been a bit of a write off bar very good sexercise but I really want to keep it up. Being able to shop in normal shops is an utter revelation for me - never been able to do it in all my adult years. I've got January to really step it up and dazzle someone at the end (he's so lucky). how is your gyming going?
Happiness should always be a focus! Something we aspire to make people more. There's a lovely little quote about making those who make you happy, happier. I'm going to adopt that and remember it more.

"I like these threads, Bootyful, but the 80s called and they want their filofax back. Mine are not revolutionary: to get back to reading more; to continue to be consistent at the gym, but to be more disciplined with the eating (you're right, it's just a damn shame the bad stuff tastes so good!); and to sort my diary out so I can plan whether I can do any of the big socials in the next few months...

Oh yes I remember your reading goal! What book are you thinking of starting with? "I will consider the filofax, but I am too old to carry one ironically. People will just assume I can't use a phone, probably correctly. I've got a few books on the go, so just need to commit to one and finish!! I've still got 'Middle England' by Jonathan Coe to read (3rd of a trilogy and I loved the previous 2) so maybe I'll make that the first! | |||

It's oxblood leather with embossed butterflies and is a thing of beauty. Every year I scour etsy to find a set of inserts I like - it's a joy to use! I don't keep contact details in it or use it as a diary (my phone is more convenient for both). I use it more as a journal and a goal planner. When I'm job-hunting it's convenient to use a page for each job, when I applied, when I heard back, who interviewed me and what feedback there was from the interview. Then I can easily remove the pages for applications that don't get a response or roles I withdraw from. Sometimes no matter how many apps are created, paper and pen is the system that works best! | |||
