Focusing on what's important in 2016

Sunday 3 January 2016


I wrote a post very similar to this last year - I think it was one of my very first posts in fact! So I wanted to carry on the tradition and share with you what I want to focus on in 2016. This isn't quite a new years resolutions list as it is more specific and by the end of the year, I want to have said that I put my time and effort into all of these things.

Revise and work hard for my upcoming exams in the Summer - I have some important exams going up (as I unfortunately do every year) and I want to put lots of effort into achieving the best results I possibly can. I am planning to start revising a little earlier to avoid the stress of last minute revision. 

Take more interesting photos - Photography is one of my main hobbies and I have got to a stage where I'm not very happy with the photos that I am taking. They just aren't meaning anything at the moment and I'm just pointing a camera at pretty flowers. I want to be able to build a portfolio of photos that are interesting and I am proud of.

Paying more attention to current affairs - Recently, I have been keeping up with world affairs but I definitely should have done more in 2015. I think that it is very important to know about the world around you and have your own opinion on what is happening in that world. 

Learn how to cook - There will be a whole post about this soon but, in brief, I am a terrible cook - absolutely horrific. Being able to cook is an important life skill and I intend to develop this skill in 2016 to more than just soup and beans on toast. 


What are you focusing on this year that is important to you?

  6. I've just found your blog via Bloglovin' and I'm really enjoying reading your posts! These are all really great goals to aim for and focus on. Keep persevering with the cooking, especially - it'll take some time but once you've mastered a few dishes it'll be more than worth it. Some of my goals are to keep doing the best I can in my degree, spend more time socialising and committing lots of time to my blog. Good luck with yours!
