This next year, I'm going to set 52 goals for myself.
I may need help on this; the setting of these goals and the accomplishment of said goals.
My first goal is to set realistic goals. I've been known to have some flair. This flair leads me to setting mind blowing goals. For example. When I was 24, I decided to retire at 30.
To be fair, I had been going on that path very nicely, however, instead of staying focused (another major issue of mine) I then took it upon myself to check out two years early and travel Australia. Now, I'm unemployed, with no savings. Epic fail.
So realistic goal ideas:
2. No shopping. This might seem unattainable. But seriously, since I'm unemployed, I want to prove to myself, once again, that happiness isn't in the items in my closet. When I feel the urge to shop, I want to do some exercise, or go for a climb or something that doesn't cost any money. Spend more time volunteering, or with my family/friends. I will explore my city. Some of the things I'd like to steer away from buying: NEW clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry, handbags, ANTHING name brand, fast food. I want to take this time to learn to cook and eat right. Exercise. I don't include waxing, haircuts, or dinners with friends or the boy. I shouldn't include frivolous gifts, except I've already committed to buying my friend Amber's 30th birthday gift....so maybe to exclude that one purchase??
3. Time Management- Using spreadsheets and day planners and all the cool things that normal real people use.
4. Budget living- living within a set budget, successfully
5. Learn to pay attention. In small doses, like maybe 10 minutes at a time- my attention span is that of a five year old. Well, now that I've been hanging out with my two year old nephew, I realize that my temperament may be a bit more like a two year old.
6. Learn to cook. More than just pasta and chicken
7. Volunteer again!
8. Do not buy anything name brand. This may fall under no shopping; but I just want to make sure that I reiterate if I fail at goal 2 it won't be for goal 8.
9. Start climbing again.
10. Start working out again.
11. Run a half marathon
12. Maybe by starting with a 5K.
13. Follow my moms footsteps and be more crafty.
14. Squat 130 pounds. -
15. Have creative date nights with the boy, once a week
16. Come up with more realistic goal ideas.
