So, here we are with a mid-year update! I can't believe it. The first five months of this year have flown by! And truth be told, I only came up with 17 goals for this year, far short of 24. However, I feel really good about the ones I've chosen, and I'm totally embracing my 17 for ....er....2024?
Here's an update on how I'm progressing on some of my goals.
Buy less plastic. This means I buy bamboo and canvas organizers, cardboard egg cartons, etc. And I've been sticking with it. However, I did notice a giant plastic peanut butter pretzel container in the pantry the other day and made a mental note to look for an alternate option. But I'm thinking about it, and that's half the battle!
I have several house updates on the list including a basement window repair and a dining room update. No progress here...
Read two books/month. I was sick this month, so I made AMAZING progress. I've already read over 24 books this year, so I could actually check this one off as completed. However, I've read a lot of mediocre stuff, and could stand to challenge myself with some more complex reading material, so I'll focus on that the latter half of the yar.
Play the piano once per month. Nope. Not at all. The thing is totally gathering dust. I must revisit for the next several months!
Donate blood. This is so important! I was scheduled to do this several months ago, and I had a conflict that prevented me from completing this task. However, my employer holds blood drives throughout the year, so I know I can get this done!
No Buy Month. I did it! April was my no-buy month. More here.
Monthly Meal Plan. I have a dry erase board in the laundry room with the entire month's meal plan listed. It's been very helpful for my family and me in setting expectations and coordinating shopping lists. I highly recommend!
Obviously, this is not all 17, as I always keep a few private. However, this should give you a good sense of where I'm tracking in my 24 for 2024. And, if you're interested in learning more about this goal-setting method, check out more information, here.
