Resolutions -- 2022

My resolutions for 2022:

10) Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. 

Increasing this from last year, from 6 glasses to 8. I think I'm ready.

9) Exercise consistently 5 times a week.

I don't know if I can keep this up. We'll see.

8) Keep my nails nice.

Now that they've been not bitten for six months, let's see if I can keep them that way.

7) Get good at this job.

Now that I've got a job, I want to really improve. I've only been there a couple months, but there is so much I don't know.

6) Fix three things about the house

I'll keep this one.


5) Make $100,000.

I'll keep this one, too. Just to see if I can do it with my job and my side gigs (which will have to pay me almost as much as my job to pull this off.)

4) Work on my freelancing book

Now that I'm not teaching the course this would be based on, it's time to put it to paper. Especially before I get too far away from the freelance life.

3) Read 10 books

Dropping this WAY down. I think the only way I'll be able to do it is if I put read a chapter on my to-do list a couple times a week.

2) Get this house clean

I don't know how I will do this, and I don't care. Through hired help, or weekend work, or having my kids actually do chores, but this house is far too messy and it's getting worse and worse now that I'm not home as much.

1) Fix all landscaping and back deck.

Overgrown, mulch doesn't stay down, weedy, too close to the house, and I haven't even TOUCHED the back, which is just barely hanging on.




For my kids and I, I resolve the following:

5) Help them navigate tween-teen years, be someone they can trust and love.

Keeping it

4) Get their rooms cleaned and organized so they can decorate the way they like

3) Save $10,000 more each for them.

Keeping. 

2) Have one conversation with that that lasts 10 minutes or more a day. (Dinner doesn't count.)

1) Teach them to cook

We used to do a thing during home school where one would help me with a dinner every night, switching. I'll dial this down a little because I like to listen to podcasts, but once a week for each one should do it.
