With the kids heading back to school and life getting more routine, I love to re-examine and reset my goals for the year!
Who says you can only make goals in the New Year? I love reevaluating my goals for the year at the start of the school year so I can finish the year productive and strong.

My 2024 Goals Reset
At the beginning of each year, I sit down and think about what I want to accomplish in the next year. In January, I shared my 2024 goals, so now that we’re more than halfway through the year, it’s time for a little check in to see how I’m doing.
Here are my goals from January 2024, and how I’ve done so far:
1. Take one day off every week to focus on long term projects, or just do nothing. I’m doing so well on this one! I had to work on Thursdays a few times this summer, but for the most part I’ve taken off every Thursday and it’s been a glorious choice in my life. I feel like a week day off each week to go to appointments or do a longer workout, or see friends, or go to the temple, or get home projects finished has rejuvenated my weeks and helped me feel much more balanced.
2. Get Invisalign again. I did this one too! I’m on my last Invisalign tray and it’s been a really smooth process with great results. I’m so happy with my smile and this was worth the extra effort to get it done.
3. Dedicated date night every other week for Philip and me. We have NOT done well at this. We’ve never been great about date night, but I’m recommitting for the rest of the year!
4. Increase weight lifting. This summer I’ve been doing Orange Theory Fitness at a local gym, and it has been the best jumpstart to get me back on track with my fitness goals. I’m lifting more than ever and have seen major muscle gains, and I’m so proud of myself. Now that our home gym is almost done, I can keep it up at home.
5. Post regularly on TikTok. Nope, failed miserably at this. I just don’t like Tiktok very much and haven’t felt connected to it, so I’ve spent almost no time over there this year.
6. Build studio in the basement. The basement was supposed to be finished in June, but here we are in September and it’s still a few weeks away from completion. But at least there is progress here and it’ll for sure be done by the end of the year, so I’m doing great on this goal if we look at it that way.
7. Finish kitchen renovation. We did this! It’s done and it’s gorgeous. I did a whole post about it RIGHT HERE.
8. Prep better for mornings so things go more smoothly and work starts by 9:30am. I’ve actually done better about this! During the summer, when I was doing Orange Theory classes, I’d go to an early class and be done by 8:15. This helped tremendously, and now that the kids are back in school, I’ve been pretty good about getting up early and doing my workout in between school drop offs so I’m fully done with it by the time all the kids are gone. I’m definitely not perfect at this, but I feel like I’ve done better this year than I have in years past.
9. 12 times to the temple. My plan was to go once per month, but during the summer when the kids were home, I flaked out on this. I think I could go twice a month for the rest of the year and get my 12 times in, so I’ll make that my updated goal!
10. Improved personal scripture study. I’ve been using the WE BELIEVE app, and have used that consistently this year, but my study could still improve. Now that the boys are back in school, I need to figure out a new time to work this into my schedule.
I’d love to know what goals you’re working on for the rest of the year!
What makes Sveta NYC stand out is the fantastic combination of classic flavors and contemporary presentation. The ukrainian menu is thoughtfully curated with traditional dishes like varenyky and solyanka. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection, and the atmosphere in the restaurant made for a wonderful night out.
I’m commenting here because the post is expired/not working and i am so so sad! My family has used your hot chocolate recipe the last 2 years and we went to make our first cups last week and your hot chocolate post says it has a critical error and can’t be viewed. we tried another recipe and it was just not the same 🙁 Would you re-post your original post or do a new post? The people are in need of this hot chocolate as fall starts 🙂
