Monthly Goals September 2020

I made it to a second round, woohoo! :D

Last month I was able to accomplish all my goals and I was able to do a few more. So, I can’t complain.

You can follow my progress of last month here.

I’m hoping to accomplish a lot this month:

-         A bucket list challenge: learn how to bake chocolate chip cookies. But I want to challenge myself a bit more with this and do a different kind every week. Every day would probably mean trouble for my belly and my wallet. Four full weeks and four different ways to prepare chocolate chip cookies. But I’m going to keep it a bit of a surprise how I’m going to do this. 😋

-        For my goal of learning French, I’m hoping to complete the level 1 lessons in the Duolingo course online. They’re relatively easy, so it should be possible. I also want to finish a couple of the Duolingo French Podcasts. And I also want to create a to-be-read pile on Goodreads with French books.

-        I've started the challenge: one book a month for a year. I’m hoping to finish more. But I don’t want to pressure myself too much with this one, as I’ve heard reading like this can result in the dreaded reading slumps. This month I want to at least finish To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. I’m hoping to also finish Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

-       I want to be an Excel wizard, so I’m going to try and learn everything there’s to know about the program.

-      Create a list for 100 things that make me happy.

-       Start decluttering my appartment and get it thoroughly cleaned. It’s really necessary after all the renovation work.

-       Research social media platforms so I’ll be able to use it like a real blogger.😎 I need to learn how to use Instagram, Goodreads, Bloglovin’ and Pinterest. Lol, I feel like such digital noob right now. + Set up a social media schedule.

 

This means a busy month, but I think it’s doable.

Visiting ‘s-Gravenwezel, Belgium (Schilde part two of three)

Image
Last week I started the trip to Schilde in the Province of Antwerp. You can read all about it here . This week we started the second part of the trip, as the town is divided in two submunicipalities: Schilde and ‘s-Gravenwezel. We visited the other site of the town (‘s-Gravenwezel). There’s one castle there, but it wasn’t accessible, I had a feeling there were people living there as it was all closed off. There was lots of nature, but lots of places were hard to access for people   who are on foot. If you want to visit here by bike, that would probably be more enjoyable and safe. My journey in photos:                                                                                                             ...

Blue monday update

 Another busy week, another blue Monday. This was what I was able to accomplish this week. -           I wrote a book review about Mr. Bliss by Tolkien, you can read all about it here . -           I’ve read some other books too. I’m seeing some progress with Dune. But it’s been a long time since I’ve read these type of big books. So I takes me a bit longer to get through it. But so far so good. -           I’ve created a blogpost about Instagram for blogging newbies you can read all about it here . Since the Covid-19 infections are rising a lot here in Belgium, I didn’t go out this weekend, as it probably isn’t so safe. The government made some restrictions for bars and restaurants for a month, but they were placed in action today, which probably meant lots of people went out to have a drink or party last weekend. So we probably wouldn’t ha...
