Really? One Year to an Organized Work Life Filled with Hapiness?: My resolutions

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

My resolutions

My resolutions this year are to:

1. Finish the half-read books on my nightstand.
2. Finish half-started projects on home my to-do list.
3. Exercise regularly and improve eating habits.
4. Pay off our truck.
5. Finish half started and put off projects at work.

I will put in some details--count of how many and which books and which projects. I'm reluctant to say how many pounds I want to lose--not because I don't want people to know how much I need to lose, but because if I exercise three times per week I have succeeded even if I don't lose all 20 pounds. I have to think about that one. Perhaps I'll post it to facebook and see what my friends think--one of whom is a Weight Watchers success story.

I'm feeling groovy, as Simon and Garfunkel would say!

Home Habit of the Month

Month 3: Get rid of and file all mail and incoming paper from school, work, and play as soon as it comes in. (Touch it once!)

Accomplished on: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

This includes reading newspapers and recycling right away and cutting coupons and recycling the remaining paper right away. There are two visual measures to this success in my house.

1. Dining room table free of clutter

2. Kitchen counter free of clutter

On May 1 the dining room table is pristine. The small kitchen counter has a to do pile, which I'll put in a folder so it isn't as noticeable. That way I will have a visual reminder. Is the small counter clear? Yes. Good. No? Take care of it every day!
