I love starting lists of things I
should do. It makes me feel productive, better about myself and my life. Accomplishing these goals is a whole different issue. Here are my 30 before 30 (which is happening next week- eep!) goals revisited:
- Finish the quilt I started sewing for my mom (like five years ago).
- Create an outdoor space where my husband and I can go to relax.
- almost 100% complete; start date: ~last summer
- Finish my wedding recaps.
- Begin and stick to an exercise regiment.
- attempting to train for a marathon; have finished two 5k races
- Be more optimistic, act more positively, and try my best to be a happier person.
- Read a biography.
- Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks; Into the Wild
- Take a camping trip and/or spend more time outdoors (when the temperature finally starts to go down, of course).
- Become more organized (both at home and at work).
- finally
purchased invested in a planner; created a better filing system at the office
- Start the journey to becoming meds-free.
- started last summer; discussed/created timeline with rheumatologist during last visit
- Eat healthier/ eat less red meat/ eat less processed food.
- Eat more meals at home.
- Become debt free.
- Hang pictures of my husband and I in our house (we still don't have any up- I know. I know!)
- Pictures have been hung in our living room and study area
- Stick to a regular blogging schedule.
- Keep a journal or sketchbook.
- Sew more, and get better at it.
- I'm not sure if I am necessarily a better seamstress, but I have taken on more sewing projects this year (compared to last year)
- Learn to read sewing patterns, and become good at it.
- Start a craft club.
- Held craft nights in the fall and winter- maybe make this a a seasonal thing?
- Open an etsy/big cartel shop- even if it only has one item.
- Disconnect from social media a few nights out of the week.
- I tend to do this on weekends
- Outline my personal goals for the next 10 years.
- Make a list of goals for my husband and myself, as a couple.
- We have started doing this every Janurary
- Throw a dinner party.
- Celebrate a holiday at our house.
- Spend more effort on my work attire and dress more professionally.
- work in progress- started collecting items that can be used for work and mixed and matched
- Take more pictures of my husband and me together.
- Create a substantial rainy day fund.
- work in progress- started regular contributions to an online savings account
- Learn how to take better photographs.
- Start an herb or vegetable garden
- Start a compost pile.
- purchased a composter earlier this year and have quite a bit of dirt for future garden projects.
So I finished about half of my goals in one year- not too horrible. Some of these items are constantly in the back of my mind, but I just haven't gotten around to them yet! It's amazing how quickly a year goes by.
