Financial Check-in
June 29, 2015Long Holiday Weekend
July 3, 2015Today ends the second quarter of 2015. That makes it an especially good time to do a quick check-in on your new year's resolutions.
Go find your list and honestly assess your progress. Where are you being successful? Where are you falling behind? Where should you focus your attention in the next quarter?
I've taken a good look at my resolutions and things are not going well. I may have to adjust my savings goal. With six months under my belt, I''m beginning to think my goals may have been too ambitious.
My efforts to clean and de-clutter my house have stalled. I still have almost two rooms to complete and my kitchen organization is straining at the seams. I am keeping up with the dishes and papers and laundry. I did pretty well with "meaning tos" through April, but then life just got away from me. I have done a bit of crafting, starting to replenish my baby blanket stash, but I haven't been able to dive in the way I'd like to. The weekly tidying and regular filing are getting better..
My fitness resolution has been the real disappointment. I'm still not working out regularly and I'm not losing weight. I'm just not putting in the work.
Overall, I'm a bit disappointed in my progress so far this year. I need to find my focus and discipline this summer.
