Big Goals for 2023

The difficult I’ll do right now. The impossible will take a little while.

As I enter 2023, this quote speaks to me. I have big goals — really big. And, I am committed to making them happen. I expect that these goals will take a while. That’s fine. In the true “Atomic Habits” style, I will strive to improve 1% each and every day, chipping away at the barriers between my goals and me!

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 0/1000}

I worked tremendously hard on this goal last year, and I saw a huge different in the organization and clarity of my home. I still have several areas in my home that need attention, so I’m keeping this goal for this year.

02: Organize the Attic 

I started this goal last year. We organized one corner of the attic (purging along the way), and floored several spots. There is still work to be done, so this goal stays on the list.

03: Read 100 Books {Status: 0/100}

Reading is part of my daily routine, so I’m keeping this goal. It’s a good one.

In Progress

Complete:
Pleasure Reading: 0 books.

04: Try 52 New Recipes {Status: 0/52}

I’m not sure if I accomplished this goal or not. Either I did not reach the goal or I simply forgot to record my progress, I’m not entirely sure. Let’s try this again!

05: Get in Shape

I’m on a 7 week, 35-day streak with clipping in to “ride the bike” (as Dennis would say). With the new year, I am embracing specific goals in 4-week intervals specific to fitness, health, and wellness. See below:
