Reading Goals and summary from 2021

 I spend so much time on the computer these days, that when work is done for the day, I don't want to spend another minute sitting down. Plus not much going on in Covid Lockdown world, Eat, Work, Sleep, Walk, Repeat. I haven't had much reading mojo either and of course, I had to get through Brigerton first! 😋

But now I feel like reading a little bit again, my first book was a young Adult dud! Do not recommend. And I'm currently reading The Apple Orchard (which needs to pick up SOON or its going to be a DNF)

Last year, I read 21 books. I think my favourite of all of them was Educated. And I also really liked The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. I'll try to keep better track this year, I read them so long ago, I can barely remember the plots. And did I mention I have 40 books at home in my To Be Read pile and what do I do, I ordered 5 books from the library. 

My Goal for this year is 40 books again. Here's to a big snowy blizzard and a day off to just read.

March Goals and Habits

Before we get to the March goals, lets see how February played out...


1. Send one card. (I actually sent 4 cards; 1 Sympathy, 1 Thinking of You, 2 Valentine

2. 15 minutes of stretching or yoga or strength training (Hard FAIL!) I think I did this twice although I did locate my weights and bands, I'll keep trying this one.

3. Spend 15 minutes cleaning up computer (emails, photos etc) I regularly try and delete emails but I need to spend a little more time cleaning up this old computer

I also did pretty well, keeping up with my Jan Goals; keeping sink clean, Reading( 3 books in Feb) and blog posts (only 6 so short by 2 but not too bad)

March Goals
1. Go the the Gym once a week. After keeping my gym on hold for over 3 years, I needed to make a decision. I'm committing to once a week, likely Aquasize but we will see how it goes.

2. Do 5 Donation requests for Loonies for Lindor (I'm a little early with this but it's very time consuming so I wanted to get a start. Plus you have to approach a large number to have any success.

3. Find a Retail store(s) to sell some of my cards. I finally got around to organizing my cards and I found that I have over 500. So I pitched my product to one store and was successful. More on that once I sign the contract and have gathered a sampling together to pitch to another store. Well I don't expect to make a ton of money, it's fun to see if someone will buy your product and I really need to make room for more.

January Goals

I'm not sure about my 20 in 20 yet. I still have to do a recap and I have a feeling that I didn't accomplish too many. But that's ok, I don't really stress about completing everything. Life is busy. For me, they are just some ideas to keep in mind. But I was reading a couple blogs and those people decided to break things down to see if that keeps things more on track.

So for January, I've decided to adopt 3 habits or goals. Recently I had a neighbour come by and pop something in my fridge. Confession: I had been extremely busy the day and night before and I left my kitchen in a mess. Sigh!  So my habit for Jan is to try and leave no dishes in the sink (I usually drip dry as I don't have a dishwasher) I didn't quite start at the beginning of the month but there are no rules here.

1. Leave no dishes in the sink nightly

2. Spend 15 minutes a day reading, working on Planner, shredding documents (I find if I just get started I keep going)

3. Do 2 blog posts a week. (A more concrete goal then so many per year)
