For 2020 I’m working on some new goals, and to document them I’m switching up my “hello this month” posts to this new format.
I’m including links to help you if you might be on a similar path. Some of these links may be affiliate, which means I’ll earn a small commission at no cost to you. My full disclosure policy is here.
I’m working on three areas each month
- Learning a new skill or stretching to improve an existing skill
- Reading more (instead of low quality scrolling social media)
- Diving deep into a new topic each month on Skillshare
What I’m working on January 2020:
New or improved skill – I’m working a doodling challenge. The Petite Planner has a You Tube channel with a free doodling challenge for 30 days of Bullet journal doodles. I don’t actually keep a bullet journal, but I love to doodle and want to get better at it, and practice is always the answer.
Speaking of practice, the super good hand lettering class that I did two years ago is starting up again – the first month is completely free and there’s no obligation to continue (although fair warning – I became completely hooked and couldn’t quit). Sign up here.
For January 2020 reading I have Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think by Hans Rosling downloaded from the library. It was on a summer reading list From Bill Gates.
On Skillshare, I’m taking a deep dive into product photography this month. If you aren’t familiar with it, Skillshare is kind of a Netflix for online learning. You pay for a subscription, and that gives you access to as many classes as you’d like, and you can even watch them over and over if you want. If you use this link, you can sign up for a free trial of two months. Like many trials, you’ll need to set up an account, but as long as you cancel before the trial runs out, you won’t be charged anything.
Your turn –
How about you – working on anything interesting this month?
