2015 Goals and Resolutions

It's the New Year.  Time for my yearly goals and resolutions...

Blog and Reading Resolutions:

1. Read 30,000 pages -- Figured I'd try and make this an attainable goal this year.
2. Read at least 75 books -- Passed this number in 2014, hoping to keep the momentum going.
3. Read 20 new fiction authors -- I have a ton of never read authors on my shelves.  Want to get to some of these this coming year.

Life Resolutions:

1. Focus on OLW 2015 Home -- I have an entire blog post about my choice and intentions, but I also put it here to stress the importance of incorporating Home into everyday life.
2. Set up more 30 Day Challenges -- I liked the idea in 2014, I want to continue this for 2015.
3. Write more personal posts -- I don't want to rely on too many memes... I want to write more personal blog posts.
4. Be intentional about meal planning -- Did decently in 2014, really want to focus on this in 2015.
5. Create and stick to an exercise plan -- Yeah... I'm not going to say that I will lose all the baby weight, but I definitely want to start some sort of exercise regime.
6. Work on creating livable rooms -- New house = randomly decorated and placed rooms.  Now to focus on creating a home and truly livable spaces.
7. Make progress on my 101 in 1001 list -- I'm restarting this challenge in 2015 after failing the last one.  Hopefully I made my list challenging by doable.

Revisiting 2014's goals and resolutions:

1. Read over 50,000 pages —Fail. I didn't even make it to 30,000 pages this year.  But my reading was good considering the baby.
2. Get rid of at least one box of books —Success! I ended up taking probably 10 bags of books to sell at HPB over the course of the year.
3. Add in my new features/update weekly schedule —Success!  I changed a few things around and it seemed to work a lot better.  More changes will be coming this next year.
4. Focus on reading my own books — Success!  I really got a ton of those long languishing books read.  Want to keep this up for next year.
5. Focus on my perpetual lists —50% Success! I got a decent start on these lists, but need to read from them more.
6. 30 Day Challenges —Success!  I planned a ton of these and completed at least half of these.
7. Documentation through Project Life —Success!  2014's albums are 90% complete.  Being in Indiana for 5 weeks put me a bit behind, but I'll catch up by the start of February.
8. New food adventures —Success!  We tried some great new restaurants and made some new recipes this past year. Want to keep this going.
9. Losing the baby weight —Fail. Yep, I didn't lose a single pound this year.
10. Exploring the Bay Area —50% Success!  The baby and I explored a ton of parks and baby related spaces, but could have done more.  Next year will include a ton of exploring by necessity.  We now have all of East Bay to explore.
