August 2020
Saturday came and I was so relieved to flip all my planners and calendars to August. July was rough, especially the last few weeks. I found myself dealing with a hard case of depression where all I did was wake up, work, and then watch four hours of 90 Day Fiancé, and then go to bed.
So when Saturday came around, I was ready to start a new. I spent most of the day still in bed, but I focused on what I could. I set up my new planner, set up a to-do list for the weekend, wrote some content, and went on a walk.
Saturday was the first good day I’d had in a while. I’m hoping to carry that momentum the rest of the month. Even though I didn’t post them in July, I had several goals and they all fell apart about two-thirds into the month.
I’m not even going to worry about those, they’re in the past. Let’s just focus on the new month and new goals.

There is a lot to August but I’m going to stay focused and check in with these goals every week. Even if they aren’t here, I want to check with myself every week and stay accountable. What are you hoping to accomplish?
