ROW80 - 2020 R1 Goals

I'm annoyed with Wordpress right now and have been since they introduced the block editor. I've been wanting to take a pen name anyway, so I'm trying Blogger out.

Remember when I posted that pretty list of 20 goals, many of which were daily for 20 minutes?

Yeah, well, there's not enough time in my day for them because I'm not a robot!

I know. I'm shocked too.

Anyway, I've had to tweak things for the round.

There are two things I want to mainly focus on this year more than anything and those are writing and French. So here are my Round 1 goals with an update on how I'm doing so far:

FINANCES

- 260 minutes of budgeting: I have been working on this weekly.

FITNESS

- 60 home-cooked meal days (3 meals = 1 day): I have only had one lunch that I didn't make. I'm actually aiming for one 1 day of eating out per week versus nearly every day.
- 60 workouts: 3/7 possible so far, but I've been doing a lot of decluttering.
- 5/20 lbs lost: This is tracked on Wednesdays, so more to come.
- 5/20 kata memorized: I haven't started this yet, but we went through every kata we know at our first class of 2020 on Sunday.

FRENCH

- 1,820 minutes of French: I have done well over an hour here.
- 60 French words learned: I've learned 2 so far.

HOME

- 1,820 minutes of chores: After several afternoons, I don't think I'll have trouble meeting this, though actually keeping track of time spent is hard.
- 60 pages digitized: I've done 1 here, but recycled a few others.

PIANO

- Instead of 20 minutes daily, I'm going to do two 30-minute periods on weekends. Part of my declutter had me take apart a table I wasn't really using in my dining room and relocating my piano to my dining room. I really love this change!

SELF-CARE

- 1,820 minutes of knitting: 0, but I usually do this while watching TV and haven't been watching much TV. I'm not worried about it.
- 1,820 minutes of planning: Since I had to setup my new planner late, due to it coming from China, I've been spending a lot of hours on this. There might be one or two more habit trackers to add at some point, but it's mostly set and I can just use it.
- 1,820 minutes of meditation: I've done about 80 minutes here.

WRITING

- 260 minutes of grammar: 0
- 60 new English words: 3
- 60 pages written (approx. 15000 wds): 91 words, but I have been planning my screenplay, planning my schedule, and decluttering like a fool.
- 5/20 books read: I'm about a quarter through Pagan Paths by Pete Jennings.

2024 - Week 5

It was still January for most of this week, a.k.a. The Neverending Month. Then it became February!  Each month, I do pull a card from my Music Oracles deck. Last month was Bob Marley. February's card is Nina Simone. A piano playing rebel & multiple genre legend will hopefully make for a phenomenal month ahead. I still haven't done a goals post for 2024. January was a lot. My goals for this year are: - Complete Sparker  and query agents. - Complete The Curse of...  and submit it to a screenplay contest. - Complete the declutter of Tiny Condo. - Blog at least once per week. - Cross train for curling and softball. - Learn piano. - Self-care with crafts, reading, gaming, and sports. I've tweaked my schedule to make this happen. I'd also like a partner, but I feel weird about setting it as a goal.

2024 - Week 43

Arts & Crafts  I started a summer quilt. I got the fabric a long time ago and it was a straightforward quilt as I just had to join the 20 fat quarters together. I'll need a backing fabric and a border to complete it, but I figured it's worth doing while the weather continues to be summery. I'm thinking a white backing and pink for the border. I've made progress on my Fairy Cross-Stitch, but there is a lot to go yet.  Decluttering & Minimalism I started the week by working on the space to sand my shelf. I didn't get through it all on Monday with work and everything else that day, but it was closer than it was before. Tuesday was curling, so I couldn't the shelf done then. I was really tired on Wednesday because I'm not used to curling being so late yet. Thursday was the last day of softball. It was Friday before I could really work on the shelf, though I kept working on the workspace. The packed weekend left me no time to do this, but I realistically ...

ROW80 2020 R4 - GOALS

I've gotten zero writing done recently, however, I had other pressing things.  HOME As my new bed frame was due for arrival last Friday (more on this later), I hauled ass and purged a bunch more stuff from my home. I brought a full carload to donation and started loading up again. I also dealt with my old mattress, which I'm repurposing for a couch. Now, I didn't fully complete it as I haven't figured out all the pieces, but I did get it cut up appropriately and moved out of my bedroom. I'm currently sewing it back together. As for my bedroom, I was able to do a major declutter and access areas I haven't been able to in months. But that area now has bathroom stuff in it. There is more to do, but I'm really happy with my progress of late. I've cut myself numerous times on the couch project including my heel finding a tiny piece of glass, my palm finding a wayward staple, my knuckle finding who knows what, my one thumb having a run in with a box cutter, an...
