A Year-End Task
December 28, 2012New Year’s Resolutions
December 31, 2012So, what do an elf's new year's resolutions look like? I make more resolutions than most folks, because they are less resolutions than goals. I'll share my goals here (though I will keep some private):
- Take 2 minutes off my 5k time.
- Bake bread from scratch.
- Can at least 4 separate foods.
- Complete at least 1 household project a month.
- Create an updated will.
- Decrease my diet soda consumption (I will have decreasing limits each quarter).
- Do 4 things I've always wanted to do.
- Don't let any Netflix disc celebrate a one-month birthday in my house.
- In season (March-October), visit a farmer's market at least once a month.
- Do at least some stretching and functional exercise once a week.
- Save a specified amount of money. (I'll do this by making a specific transfer to savings at the first paycheck of the month. Money moved to mutual funds, CDs, and an IRA counts as saved.)
- Begin to use the beauty products I've collected.
- Make dates to catch up with 6 friends I haven't seen for a while.
- Weigh no more on December 31st than I weigh on January 1st.
