- Visit the Christmas shop at our local garden centre, it's always so magical.
- Find the perfect balance between posting here and on The Book Journal. I completely underestimated the amount of work it would be to start a second blog but I know I can make it work, somehow.
- Donate some books I won't re-read to the charity shop & pass along some unloved products to family. It's something I've been slowly doing throughout the year and I'm quite keen to live within a more minimal space. It's a real balancing act because the desire to to try new things and read new books is something that I will always have, but I think I'm getting there slowly.
- Try to use my time more wisely. I'm definitely guilty of spending a little too much time doing nothing in particular when I could be doing something productive.
Do you have any goals for November?

I also need to donate some books! I have a tendency to hoard books even though I rarely read a book twice x
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to keep hold of the special ones I think <3
DeleteI am joining you on the 'use time more wisely' part. I need to hand in the first draft of my Bachelor thesis in a month and I am still wasting a lot of time, whoops! I really should start analysing my data now.
ReplyDeleteOoh good luck!! xx
DeleteMy main goal this month was to get most of my Christmas shopping done, which I'm pleased to say is almost accomplished!
ReplyDeleteRachel x Sparkles and Starlight
Yay, you're very organised! xx
DeleteI will also be donating some books and clothes to a charity shop! :)

DeleteInspiring post :) I agree with you, I also need to spend time wisely and stop procrastinating ! I honestly have a lot of free time that I use to do Nothing while I could do something productive..

Here's to being productive! xx
DeleteI work at my local garden centre and our Christmas display is amazing, we even have real reindeers coming in next weekend! I'm definitely going to try and start my Christmas shopping this month rather than doing a last minute rush, I also want to think of some more unusual but thoughtful gifts for this year. x

Aww that's so lovely! xo
DeleteI need to do this. Such a good idea for getting focused and ensuring I plan to do nice things that I can enjoy outside of the usual 9-5. :o)

It's definitely good to plan things <3
DeleteGreat goals! I also want to donate some books to charity soon. I have so many old uni books that I need to get rid of due to lack of space! x
ReplyDeleteTelina | Love, Telina
Always good to have a clear out <3
DeleteI completely agree with your last goal. I have a habit of doing the same, so need to make the most of the time I have before the year runs away with me! Lianne xx

It's amazing how quickly time flies by! x
DeleteI agree with donating things! I got rid of a load of stuff recently and I felt so much better knowing it wasn't cluttering up the house!

Thank you, you too! x
DeleteI definitely need to pass a bunch of books/trinkets on to the charity shop and I really need to spend my time more wisely! My procrastination gets out of hand this time of year. Good luck with getting through this list!
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
DeleteThe last point is so true, I am guilty of that either haha
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, November is a month full of exams and study work for me :(
But I am so excited that its almost christmas, doing a lil' christmas shopping end pf the month :)
xo M.
It's a lovely time of the year <3
DeleteI completely agree with the last point. I do some much of nothing but somehow I still love doing it. I think I would to donate present to charities especially during the holiday seasons. :)
ReplyDelete<3
Deletenice list, i need to make one too. I totaly agree with the last one.
ReplyDelete<3
DeleteCreating a more minimal space is on my to-do list for this month as well! I started with my wardrobe and I'm now working through my makeup.
ReplyDeletenueyork.blogspot.com
It's really refreshing! x
DeleteRead more! I can't keep using money and lack of time as an excuse, I need to hit up my charity shops more and ask friends & family for their unloved books!
ReplyDeleteTara x
Definitely look in charity shops, so many bargains to be found! x
DeleteI wish we had more charity shops, which are like the ones in the UK, here in Vienna. We have a lot of charity shops for fashion or second hand furniture, but not a lot for books :( When I sort through my stash of books, they usually end up in my friends appartments or a coffee place where you can donate books to. It's good to know that they find another home (does that sound weird?).
ReplyDelete(P.S. I don't know if you are reading this, but I tagged you with the 1989 meme.)
Thank you for tagging me, I had a lot of fun answering the questions! x
DeleteI have a list as long as my arm! It's so hard to find time to do anything since Jude arrived x

DeleteI need to finish some books if I'm going to reach my Goodreads goal thing by the end of the year! xxx
ReplyDeleteI was too scared to set a goal haha! xx
DeleteGo go Jennie! I tried balancing my blog with a books review blog to start with and managed for a couple of months, but found it too much work, even when unemployed, to keep up both! But I'm sure with some discipline and scheduled post you can make it work :) I'm aiming to donate books that haven't been receiving love this month too. x
ReplyDeleteTamsin / A Certain Adventure
I'm going to try my best for sure! xx
DeleteTime managing can be quite an ordeal sometimes! I liked this list, good job!
