I've been encouraged to create a workbook or printed pages, but I've not yet gotten around to it (I probably should put it on my 101 list! lol). Instead I have lined paper, a handy pen and I sit down at the end of every month and go through my lists to come up with what I want to work on the next month. Since it's the beginning of the year, I also made a list of little changes to update/change some of the numbers from last year.
Here's the breakdown for this month. I hope you enjoy or find inspiration. :)
365- maintain the same journal I have for the past few years that includes: quote, weather(2011), gratitude (2012), 5 good things (2013), something magical (2014) and now I am going to track my 30 day progress and if I wake with a song in my head, that gets added too.
52- keep trying new recipe a week, including making them up.
Now I'm adding the 52 week money challenge. $1 the first week, $2 the second, etc for the full year.
30- According to studies at least 10 minutes a day of fuzzy pet contact (not just watching, engaged contact) is good for the overall physical and mental health of a person. Do this with the cats and actually make and effort to notice changes.
12- at least 2 Books, one must be from the 30 book challenge list
A "Greenman" style or inspired drawing a month
4- Submit to a writing contest or publication
Clean out dresser and nightstand drawers
Items from 101 List:
A. Family/Friends: Wreath paintings for gifts, 2nd Sunday- New To Me, possible Sunday Social
B. Business: 101 in 1001 workbook pages
C. Hobby: Make scrapbook/design book for inspiration for remake it projects
D. Writing: 1 chapter on Addie, 1 chapter on Dove
E. Heath: Eat at least 1 serving fruit or veg per day
F. Financial: Start 52 week money challenge
G. Spiritual: Yule 2014 art journal pages, Entry in Determining Sacred Journal on the virtues of quiet progress
H. Bedlem: Characters Welcome sign, fill out more drink recipes for book and seal them in.
I. Travel/Adventure: 1 Popsicle stick location*
J. Material: Clean out jammie/nightie drawer and nightstand drawer
K. Learn: Art journalling
*Last year I looked up a bunch of weird, small local destinations online- from tiny museums to parks- and wrote them on popsicle sticks. I then put them in a small bucket and when I want to do something but am at a loss, I pull one out.
Already this month I have accomplished F., mostly completed a Greenman piece of art, have half of J done, this weeks recipe (marrow broth), and am sticking with my 365, 30 day and E goals. They are small so that helps a lot towards not being discouraged.
What does your January look like?
