2015 Goals and Resolutions
It's the New Year. Time for my yearly goals and resolutions...
Blog and Reading Resolutions:
- Read 30,000 pages -- Figured I'd try and make this an attainable goal this year.
- Read at least 75 books -- Passed this number in 2014, hoping to keep the momentum going.
- 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:
- 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.
- Set up more 30 Day Challenges -- I liked the idea in 2014, I want to continue this for 2015.
- Write more personal posts -- I don't want to rely on too many memes... I want to write more personal blog posts.
- Be intentional about meal planning -- Did decently in 2014, really want to focus on this in 2015.
- 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.
- Work on creating livable rooms -- New house = randomly decorated and placed rooms. Now to focus on creating a home and truly livable spaces.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Focus on my perpetual lists —50% Success! I got a decent start on these lists, but need to read from them more.
- 30 Day Challenges —Success! I planned a ton of these and completed at least half of these.
- 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.
- New food adventures —Success! We tried some great new restaurants and made some new recipes this past year. Want to keep this going.
- Losing the baby weight —Fail. Yep, I didn't lose a single pound this year.
- 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.
