So this year I have given myself 6 areas of focus: Family, Home, Friends, Health, Finances, and Work. I have broken my "resolutions" down into small quite do-able activities that have a flexible end goal. I am looking at these goals as an ongoing project that can and will evolve throughout the year and may even be transferred into the coming years. I have named this "Project: TWENTY FOURTEEN". I know original, lol.
Every couple of weeks I will be choosing 2 goals to report on through this blog and give you a break down on the positives and negatives experiences I have had. If there is something that interests you or you would like me to elaborate on please feel free to comment.
So what exactly am I working towards this year...
FAMILY:
- Go on a family holiday outside NSW and show my kids something new.
- Have more one-on-one time with each family member, especially my husband.
- Introduce a family fun night once a month where we can make memories together.
- Create a unique outdoor living space. Even try to source recycled materials to do so.
- Have a more sustainable lifestyle by growing my own fruit, vegetables and herbs. This includes making more things from scratch and not packeted items.
- Organise my family day-to-day activities better, including having clear expectations on everyone's duties.
- Arrange a get away with my girlfriends. Can be anything from a day trip somewhere to a weekend away.
- Contact my close friends once a month for a chat or get together.
- Randomly do something unexpected or thoughtful for each of them.
- Lose 20kg which equates to 1/2kg each week.
- Join a sporting team or take up a new sport.
- Do the City2Surf on Sunday August 10, 2014.
- Reduce debt, specifically creditcards!
- Set up bill schedule and stick to it to pay bills on time and ultimately be in credit.
- Be more frugal on my living expenses and look for ways to cut costs of unnecessary items.
- Organise my work time better to have a routine.
- Create and publish 2 patterns.
- Use blog every 2 weeks to update on progress of "Project: TWENTY FOURTEEN".
I look forward to sharing my coming year with you.
