I still can’t believe that it is October 1st! It’s time to publicly set some goals to help keep me accountable. I have been lazy when it comes to accomplishing tasks that I have been on my to do list for months. Here are my goals for this month:

1. Write 2-3 blog posts a week. I have been neglecting this blog, so I want to get started on a routine to create more content.
2. Get at least 1 new client for my Pinterest Virtual Assistant business. I started my Pinterest VA business this year, so I’d like to gain at least 1 new client this month. I currently work full time, so this is one of my side hustles.
3. Meditate at least 3 times per week. I just watched Shark Tank and downloaded the app Simple Habit. It has 5 minute meditations, so I will try them to see how I like them. I have a couple other meditation apps that I like, but I thought I’d give this one a try.
4. Clean out old clothes from my closet and kids’ closets, as well as from the basement. We have lots of old clothes sitting in tubs in the basement and taking up space in our closets. I want to get rid of them, which means I’ll probably donate them. However, I think I could get some money from some of the kids’ clothes, so I am debating about selling them in a local Facebook group.

What are your goals for October? I would love to hear them!

Welcome to Imperfectly Balanced Mom! Glad you came to visit! You may be wondering what you can expect when you visit here. First of all, I love personal finance and health and wellness. Those are the two main topics that I plan to write about and how they relate to a busy working mom. As a disclaimer, I’m not a financial professional, nor a personal trainer/licensed health practitioner, so whatever I share is just my opinion.

Some topics I plan to cover:

• Investing and saving – easy ways to get started investing and learning about investing, different ways to save
• Early retirement
• Health and Wellness – getting fit and healthy as a busy working mom, healthy tips/recipes
• Working mom issues – career, affordable outfits, etc.

There may be more, but my main focus will be finances and health. Those are the two main areas of my life that I have been working on and they seem to go hand-in-hand. You can save and invest all you want, but if you don’t have your health, then none of it matters.

Studies have found that people who were satisfied with their current financial situation were also more likely to stick with their health resolutions (http://www.cnbc.com/2015/01/26/fix-your-finances-fix-your-health.html). All the more reason to get financially and physically fit at the same time!
