DAY 3 OF IMPROVE MY WRITING IN 30 DAYS: 'IN THE NEXT YEAR, I WANT TO....'

In the next year, I want to focus on projects that can generate income. I will stop creating massive to-do lists only to leave them unfinished. I admit that, as a mom with four kids, my time and energy are limited. It's time to stop chasing too many things at once. Instead, I will focus on becoming excellent at one thing.

I want to dedicate 15 minutes a day to reading and another 15 minutes to reading to my kids. I admit I’m not a natural reader, but I want to set a good example for them. I recently came across a website that recommends books with just a single prompt, which I think is really cool. This is the resource I’ll use to find new reading material. First, I need to finish Where the Crawdads Sing—a book recommended by a dear friend. I only got through the first chapter before stopping. If it meant enough for him to recommend it, there must be a good reason, so I’ll make it a priority to finish it.

I also want to spend more money—not recklessly, but intentionally on things that help me grow. To get where I want to be, I need to stop thinking small. My habit of not investing in knowledge has held me back, and I’m ready to change that.

I want to be a better mom. I plan to spend more one-on-one time with each of my kids and find activities that suit their unique interests. They deserve my undivided attention, and I’ll make sure they get it—all of them.

I also want to be a better writer. A close friend told me that improving my grammar would make me more professional and show that I truly care about my work. I know he is right, and I’m committed to making that improvement.

Here’s to an amazing 2025!

Cheers to my best friend for all the support and memories. Wishing us both a year filled with success and joy!
