Monthly Life Goals June 2015

Before I get to this month’s goals, let’s check in on May's goals and my progress.

  • 30 Day Challenge: 60 minutes of reading – Success! With my focus on reading, I managed 13 books and 4383 pages this month. Great goal!
  • Put up kitchen curtains – Fail. I think we are destined to not have curtains in the kitchen. The bareness doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would...
  • Clean out my closet for spring – Success! I completed this one the first week of the month.
  • Plan a Favorite Things party for late May/early June — Fail. Never got around to this one. Maybe for July or August.
  • Stay ahead of meal planning — Success! I'm still working ahead and simplifying my process.
  • Fill out our summer bucket list notebook – Success! I updated our list for lots of East Bay attractions.
  • Take books to HPB and clothes to Goodwill — Fail. But I did organize the bags to go. I just need to actually go!
  • Make a Lasik appointment — Fail. Never got around to it.
  • Document a Day in the Life -- Fail. I have the worst time remembering to do this right in the morning...

This month's goals:

  • 30 Day Challenge: 30 Miles in 30 Days -- I really need to amp up my exercise. Maybe an easily attainable but consistent goal will get me motivated.
  • Stick with my capsule wardrobe with update -- I jumped into this challenge yesterday. My goal is to stick with it, but also do check-ins monthly.
  • Start my Beatles song library goal -- One of my 101 in 1001 goals is to listen to every Beatles soon. I'm think of at least starting chronologically and then maybe jumping around later.
  • Visit San Francisco with all three boys -- I want to make at least one SF trip a month in June and July. We will probably end up at the CA Academy of Sciences or maybe the wharf area.
  • Start my TED talks goal -- Another 101 in 1001 goal. I want to watch at least 100 TED Talks, but more importantly actually do some mini reviews of them.
  • Institute reading hour -- During Arthur's naps, I want to have at least one hour of quiet reading. No electronics allowed except for my iPad if I'm reading a book on it.
  • Do a twins and mom date -- I want to go out and do something with the twins sans Arthur. We will see how this goes.
