“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
― James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
01: Get 6 – 7 Hours of Sleep Each Night [120/126]
I have been so disciplined about going to bed early that I’m starting to struggle to stay up beyond 10 PM! I am finding that I naturally wake up on weekends – and my mornings are so productive!
02: Purge 1000 items [412/1000]
My oldest daughter came home from college, and she cleaned out her closet, too! The following items left: 73 articles of clothing and 1 water bottle. How do we accumulate so many water bottles?
03: Organize the Attic
Still, no progress in this area!
04: Read 100 Books [25/100]
It’s summertime — which calls for lazy reading on the beach while enjoying a salty, ocean breeze.

Atomic Habits: This is part of my current book study!

Nonfiction Reads (25 complete)
05: Try 52 New Recipes [6/52]
I really need to find new recipes! I’m so behind on this goal!
06: Get in Shape
After 3 weeks of celebrations that included two college graduations, educator appreciation week, Boss’s Day, and many evenings that landed us in a “grab and go” situation, I am diving back into E2M Personal Training by embracing the Nutritional Plan.
07: #OneMonthGoals with Michael Matera
Three years ago, I joined Michael Matera on his #OneMonthGoals journey. I ran every single day for a month – and it was glorious. This year, I am committed to selecting (and sticking with) one new goal each month, which I will document here.
January 2022: Close my Apple Rings [23/31]
February 2022: Exercise every single day! [27/28]
March 2022: New Nutrition/Exercise Program
April 2022: Still embracing a New Nutrition/Exercise Program!
May 2022: Still working on a New Nutritional Program: Plants & Fasting!
08: Write/Send 52 notes/cards [15/52]
I knocked out another one this week… almost caught up!
09: Maintain a weekly blog [12/52]
I took a three-week hiatus, but I’m back! I feel like I actually have something to report!
10: Simplify my life
I am continuing to pause and enjoy life: I completely unplugged to enjoy a weekend college graduation celebration for my oldest daughter, took a day off of work to enjoy my youngest daughter’s Dual Enrollment graduation, enjoyed quick dinners out with dear friends “on a whim”, and spent today simply enjoying an afternoon on the beach. I’m remembering how it feels to unwind and simply enjoy life.
11: Organize my mother’s photographs
I have digitally backed up the ones that have been scanned, and I’m chipping away at Box 2!
