It’s mid-June and I’m just now setting a few goals because I spent the first week at home in Boston and then spent the rest of last week trying to get my life together in some form! It’s wild to me how not having some downtime to get myself settled and in order really messes me up in terms of my routine. But most of the time it’s worth it to break out of my routine to do something fun. Here’s what I’m hoping to accomplish and enjoy in the second half of the month.

read 10 bookscrush (or at least survive) the 10K I’m running- start Couch to 5K
go to a book swap (it was this weekend, and it was awesome!)- create a summer vision board
figure out the basic arc of the novel I’ll start writing soonparticipate in Week in the Life and take relevant photos- add a “now” page to my portfolio site (h/t to Alex Laughlin for the idea)
- organize photos each week
keep my bookstagram up to datemaybe eat some vegetables?write more blog posts!

- warm weather
- tough conversations that lead to really good outcomes
- a clean desk for the first time in far too long
- being able to walk 3 blocks to the library
- making character playlists for my novel and feeling really excited about it in general

- a Dodgers game
- book club
- a Betty Who concert (last night!)
- relaxing at home
- lots and lots of writing

- read 6 books
- clean bathroom toiletries
- outline first half of novel (ambitious, but exciting)
- go to a Dodgers game
- list extra acrylic stamps for sale
- finish Week in the Life project with journaling and embellishments

Ambitious given that it’s July 17? Definitely. Am I cool with that? Absolutely.
