My Goals for 2026

Dear Adventure Avenue,

Goal #1: Volunteer six times this year!

Goal #2: Read some super old books:

1. The Bible
2. The Iliad
3. The Odyssey

Goal #3: Actually Strength Train and Exercise this year…

And make an actual plan to do so, integrating other workouts (like yoga and Pilates). Minutes did not motivate me enough, but a well developed plan just might work out (pun intended).

I’m planning on 4 work outs a week for January and February.

Goal #4: Spend more time outside!

Outside at least 25 days a month. I’m doing this in the vein of 1000 hours outside. Let’s not be couch potatoes!

I’m going to try out some habit tracking apps to help me keep track of this!

Some things I’d like to do this year:

• Hike
• Swim at the pool
• Kayak
• Go to the beach
• Horseback Ride
• CAMP!!!

Goal #5: Create a Blog Posting Schedule and stick to it!

I want to post all of the fun trips I took in 2025, so I can remember them and easily find all the places I’ve been!

And if this goal helps get rid of the 13,388 pictures on my phone, even better!!

I’m going to start with scheduling one hour a week sessions to write blog posts + 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week to post on Instagram and Pinterest.

Goal #6: Read 26 books this year.

With getting my MBA this year, I think it may be a little difficult to hit 50 books, so I’m focusing on 26 for 2026 this year!

Until next time,
