I turned 35 in June and have spent a few weeks sulking about it, while also contemplating why I should really make this year count. I feel like by 35 we really are expected to have out shit together, I absolutely do not have my shit together.
I have a good job, I rent a nice house (emphasis on the rent, and by nice I mean it’s a good size in a nice area, it’s actually little shabby), I am in good health, I exercise 3–4 times a week, I am married and actually want to stay married to my husband, who is the father of my child, and my child is awesome. So I guess on paper I am doing well.
However, I just feel like everything I do is half arsed, I do well in work but I don’t try particularly hard, if I tried harder I could earn a lot more (a get a commission based bonus). I had a business that was going really well but had to close, I have set up another one since and don’t put half as much effort into as I should, however it’s doing ok and could be a lot better. I run and lift weights but am progressing at such a snail pace that it’s hardly noticeable, if I got my diet in check I would be making a lot more progress. I paid of £24,000 of debt and then just decided to stop and have hovered at £3,000 for over a year, which has now crept back up to £4,000. You get the idea! It’s like I constantly stop myself from doing really well.
I really want to stop doing that, so I have set myself some goals for my 35th year.
Money
- Be debt-free by the time I am 36.
- Get my savings put up to £3000 (Currently £1428.57)
- Have £10,000 in my bank on payday (After my pay goes in)
Business
- List 365 new listings in my 35th year on both Etsy and Ebay
- Write 365 Medium Articles
- Post onto my Instagram and TikTok every day
Fitness
- Run a 10km (The Furthest I have done so far is 7km)
- Loose 2 Stone by the time I am 36 (Currently 15 Stone 9)
- Get my waist down to at least 33inches (Currently 36)
- Be able to do an unassisted Pull Up (Currently got not chance!)
- Squat 100kg (Currently can do 12x50kg)
Leisure
- Read 5 Books
- Book a Trapeze/Circus Skills Lesson

So these are my goals, I am hopefully going to do weekly updates with some progress on them, which will help towards my 365 medium articles!
