3 in 30 – January 27

3in30 e1304446364370 3 in 30   January Goals

The last week of January is already gone?  Time for a 3 in 30 check-in!

  1. Discover Perfect – I’m loving my word for 2012.  It’s not an easy word, but I’m learning so much.  I had the opportunity to share at Must Love God this week.  Take a look!
  2. Preserve Memories – Urgh.  Yeah, big fat fail.  I did two layouts at the beginning of the month and then everything went downhill.  I had a computer freeze/crash that ended in a couple of hours of lost work.  I got frustrated.  I decided to upgrade my Photoshop Elements (courtesy of an Amazon gift card from Josh’s parents for Christmas) and now it’s just to sit down and try again.
  3. Take Blog to the Next Level – I did another 4 days in 31 Days to Build a Better Blog this week.

Much of my time was redirected this month into finding ways to meet our goal of paying off Josh’s student loan this year.  Our goal is to find an extra $500 a month.  So far this month, I’ve come up with almost $300.  Not bad.  Not the goal, but without the goal, I wouldn’t have made it that far.

I also spent a lot of time working on my new ebook Finding Joy in Depression.  I sent my final draft over to Lisa at For Love of Words to work her “wordy” magic on it.  The barebones website is up and you can sign up for the email list over there to get more information on the book, the release, and opportunities to be an affiliate.  I have a wonderful sponsor that I can’t wait to tell you about too!  Current target is March 12, 2012.

What were your goals for January?

    31 Days to Build a Better Blog?  Is this a book, or a seminar?  I think maybe I need to look into this.  We had computer problems this week too!  There’s only so much you can do when that happens.  Good job sticking with it though!

      It’s an ebook.  It’s on the pricey side, but a wonderful resource.

    Amanda, you second post broke my heart for you.  I know how frustrating it is when computers ruin our plans, especially when our plans are computer based. It still did not leave you stagnant tho’ and that is  a good think.

    Keep going forward.

      It was frustrating.  I think that trying to run a program 4 versions back on the latest OS was a lot of my problem.

    I love your comment, “…without the goal, I wouldn’t have made it that far.” It’s so important to remember that!

      It’s amazing what you can do when you have a specific goal.

      Yup.  Got my edited draft back from Lisa yesterday afternoon.  Now into design and layout.
