Here we go something new on the site. Rather than unrealistic monthly goals I am going to start doing quarterly goals for different aspects of my life going forward. I am hoping that this just takes off the pressure off just having a single month to complete a goal whilst also giving me some smaller goals to be able to achieve that end of quarter goal. These goals are going to be broken up into the categories of: Work, content, fitness & finally life, I am hoping that by having a few goals in each of these categories is going to help me lock in and really push to tick all the goals off by the end of the month and with 3 months to achieve those goals I am really looking forward to seeing how things progress. I am really wishing this idea came to mind in time for quarter one so that I could have done a fully years worth but quarter two is also a good starting point so let's look at those goals I am setting for myself...

Work

Launch a new website for the 9 to 5

This quarter is going to be all change in work and fingers crossed it is going to be a big change in the right direction. We are setting up a new subsidiary of the current company which is going to start off as an online store with the potential to grow into a physical store if things go well. The goal for quarter two though is going to be simple, just get the website launched.

Work on building a work wardrobe

I really want to level up my work wardrobe going forward so throughout quarter two I am going to work on thinking of what I currently wear to work and how I can upgrade the outfits for a change. There is so much potential when it comes to my work wardrobe and I want to start adding new pieces in quarter two too so that I can finally start dressing how I want rather than just dreaming about it.

Bring in over a certain amount of money from the new website

Now I am not going to say the exact amount on here however, if I do achieve it I may share it. I am hopeful though that in quarter two I can really knuckle down in work and really begin the build for the future rather than coasting along. At the end of the day all this will be mine one day so I need to put a whole lot more effort into things. That amount is in mind so it is time to work towards it.

Take on more responsibility at work

I really want to step up and show just what I am capable at in work going forward too so that is going to mean taking on another role, nothing too big that is going to overwhelm me but something that is going to help me improve day on day to maximize my potential and help business get better. I have the perfect role in my mind for this so I just need to see if the boss would be happy with it.

Track the wins

Throughout quarter two I am really wanting to track the wins so each Friday before I head home for the weekend my goal is to take 15 minutes to look back at the week and track the wins for me within work. This could be a load of little wins or some huge ones but the goal is just to make sure I am sitting down reflecting and seeing what I am working for.

Content

Post on here every Monday to Friday

Quarter two is where I am going to be really locking in on here and making sure that I am producing content for the website and not ghosting it for prolonged periods of time like I have previously done. I am challenging myself in quarter two to post five days a week for the next three months, is it too much of a challenge? I really hope not but I guess we will soon see.

Grow my Instagram

My Instagram account has sat in the same follower area for a while now and I want to change that, I am determined to lock in on posting and not ghosting for months on end and I am hoping I will finally start to see some growth from doing this. I have so many ideas in mind for my account I just need to stop procrastinating and get on with things for a change and let's see if that growth comes.

Revive Edge of the Area

I am going all in now, no messing around as I have big dreams that can come true by locking in on Edge of the Area. Again I am terrible for procrastinating when it comes to the football site however, with what I want to achieve from it I really need to start focusing on this and putting a whole lot of time into it. The season may be coming to an end however, I am going all in on the revival & working hard in the business end of the season & start of the off season to make sure I am in the right place for the 2026/27 season kicking off later in the year.

Get back in front of the camera

In recent months my weight has gone up a bit and my skin has had numerous breakouts which has really made my confidence plummet. I have been really struggling to get the confidence built back up so I can get back on the camera however, I am determined to really change that within quarter two. By the end of this quarter I want to have got a bit of confidence back and have a few shoots with me in front of the camera. No more holding back.

Reach out to a brand

This is a big step out of my comfort zone however, when I have got to a good position by working on the goals above I am going to reaching out to at least one brand to see about potential collaborations going forward. This will be one for if the above goals work out so could be towards the very end of the quarter but I am hoping things start to fall into place and this is something I am happy to be doing so let's see how this goes.

Fitness

Be below 90 Kg

Now this one is going to be a big challenge as I am still in the 100's at the moment however, I am giving myself three months to lock into this and hopefully see the results I am chasing. As I say this is going to be a massive challenge but if I get my head right I am sure I can push for this and see a big difference on the scales. Just over 10 Kg in 3 months it is go time.

Go back to boxing

Things are quietening down now and I am hoping to make good use of the free time. I am going to use that free time to help me get in shape so one thing I want to do is to head back boxing... these sessions are so good for me and I know I can achieve a lot by getting back to these sessions so it is time to stop delaying the return and get back to at least one session a week in quarter two.

3 home gym sessions a week

Now I am using the home gym instead of having to travel to the gym I have no excuse for not smashing out 3 workout sessions a week. As I also have a bit more free time coming up I think this is more than achievable and I am hoping that in my wrap up post I can say I smashed this one and am seeing plenty of progress from doing this.

Drop a clothing size

In the next three months I want to be at least one clothing size down. If I smash the above goals in this quarter then I could potentially drop more but I will be more than satisfied by just hitting one clothing size dropped as I have been stuck where I am for a while now. I am looking forward to trying to achieve this one and reporting back on it at the end of the quarter.

Sort out the home gym

With me using the home gym a whole lot more I want to make sure I am making this space perfect for my needs. Over quarter two I am going to be going through the home gym and rearranging it to make it perfect whilst also getting rid of items we don't need in there to make space for bits that will help us achieve our goals. This will also give me three months to consider the changes I need to make to this space too which will help me out a lot.

Life

Have two date nights

I feel like I have neglected our relationship recently and I want to change that so going forward in quarter two I want to try have two date nights in restaurants we have wanted to try just so we are spending some time together without the dog. We really need to start doing more of these and quarter two is hopefully just the beginning for this.

Have £1,000 in my savings

I am determined to grow my savings and not dip into them so I want to ensure I am using quarter two to build healthier habits when it comes to money. In 3 months I am more than capable of saving more than I spend by changing my ways so again let's see how this one goes, I am hopeful for it.

Have £800 in home savings

Again I have been dipping into my savings too much however, with us wanting to crack on with the jobs around the house we really need to start adding to these pots and keeping them there not taking money back out. £800 is a small but achievable goal for the next 3 months so let's see how this one goes.

Decide what to do with my car

Liam got a new car recently and put me on the insurance and let's just say I love it. Since getting that car my own car has barely moved so I am going to use quarter two to sit down and work out if I should keep or sell my car going forward. It just seems like a waste sat there but will I miss the independence of having my own? I have 3 months to decide.

Fully declutter & start rebuilding my wardrobe

My wardrobe is a nightmare at the moment I am overwhelmed and don't wear 90% of those clothing items. My goal for this quarter is to go through everything I have and get rid of those pieces I am never going to wear. Once I have done this the plan is to make a list of items to purchase for what I am calling a hybrid wardrobe, but more on that another day.

So there you have it let's see how this quarter goes and just how many of these I am going to get ticked off the list. I am really hopeful that these next 3 months are going to be great productive ones which are going to help take life into the direction I am aiming for.

Let's do this.

See you soon,

Lucy
