Big Goals for 2023: A Reflection

Here I am – at the end of 2023. Let’s see how how I did on these goals!

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 1178/1000}

SUCCESS! I stopped counting at 1178 on Week 30 – but I continued to toss. My life is noticeably less cluttered!

02: Organize the Attic 

INCOMPLETE. I organized about 2/3 of the space. All of the boxes match with QR codes that take me to a list of what is in them. I’m confident that I can finish this goal in 2024.

03: Read 100 Books {Status: 52/100}

FAIL. I did, however, read 52 books. I’ll keep this goal for 2024.

04: Try 52 New Recipes {Status: 22/52}

FAIL. But, I enjoyed the concept of this goal. I will likely keep this goal – but, reduce the number. Quality > Quantity, right?

05: Get in Shape

SUCCESS. While I’m not in the shape that I want to be, I am further along than I was 365 days ago. This year I:
– Completed a Peloton workout every single day.
– Cycled > 3000 miles + > 15,000 minutes
– Completed 8 PZ Challenges
– Completed 3 100 Days of Peloton

I’m keeping this goal for 2024, with a twist.

06: Write/Send 52 notes/cards {Status: 11/52}

FAIL. I’m ok with it…

07: Maintain a weekly blog {30/52}

FAIL. Perhaps I will move towards a monthly update for 1024?

08: Organize my mother’s photographs {in progress}

INCOMPLETE. Although, I’m still motivated. Might keep it for 2024.

09: House Projects {15/23}

INCOMPLETE. Not terrible, but needs attention. I’m going to revamp this list for 2024.
