Checking in with my 2020 Goals and Resolutions - Obviously this turned into a very strange year and some of these goals and resolutions just couldn’t happen.

House Goals/Resolutions

• Successfully move into our new house! ✓

• Make a list of house renovations/projects and complete at least 50% - Nope. Quarantining put a weird damper on this goal.

• Create a plan to tackle the house one room at a time ✓ - We do have a more solid plan.

Life Goals/Resolutions

• Get back into a gym schedule - We dropped our membership due to COVID, but did buy a treadmill in July and have been more intentional in using it.

• Complete our 52 Weeks of Soups and Stews Around the World (adding some permanently to Paprika) ✓ - We completed 53 different recipes.

• Create a spending budget and stick to it - Nope. I completely forgot about this.

• Create and stick to a new weekly routine for Quentin and Arthur - Nope.

• Plan and complete a fun summer road trip! - Nope. Cancelled.

• Plan and complete a reading retreat! - Nope. Cancelled.

Reading Goals/Resolutions

• Read 200 books / 50,000 pages ✓

• Decrease my physical UnRead Shelves by 50 books - Nope. I didn’t get very many completed.

• Decrease my ebook UnRead Shelves by 30 books - Nope. But I did get closer than the previous goal.

• Create a library/reading space in the new house ✓ - Loving my space!

• Follow my reading whims/cravings instead of rigid reading challenges ✓

Craft Goals/Resolutions

• Finish all currently in progress projects - Nope. Completely unrealtistic goal.

• Organize a craft space in the new house ✓ - In December, but I did it!

• Take stock of my supplies and use them! ✓ - I need to do a bit more organizing and weeding, but I did buy less this year.

And now on to 2021…

House Goals/Resolutions

• Tackle at least one big renovation project - We’re thinking it’s probably going to be landscaping and the deck. The deck is going to be a safety issue pretty soon so we at least need to remove it this summer at some point.

• Lay out a kitchen renovation plan - The actual construction won’t be for a few years, but we need to figure out most of the plan soon as it might impact some other house projects.

Life Goals/Resolutions

• Set a treadmill goal for every month - I am really enjoying the convenience of having a treadmill in the basement. I need a firmer schedule, but it has been going well.

• Plan and complete a reading retreat
