I may have said this before, but I'm not really a big fan of New Year's resolutions. What's the point of committing to something that you'll keep going for maybe a month? But I do like the idea of goals, especially goals that I can work on in shorter amounts of time. So I'm going to, by the grace of God, follow Jon's example of setting goals in the 7 core areas of life to work on over a period of 52 days. Without further ado:
Financial
Balance my checkbook daily; know how much money I do or don't have
Save $20/month
Physical
Sleep 7 hours 80% of the 52 days.
Work out 3 days every week.
Lose 10 pounds in the 52 days.
Cut out junk food and pop
Social
Invite people over 2x/month
Mental
Read 2 new non-fiction books a month
Career
Go back to school
Work on growing Digitally Yours
Family
Call Grandpa 1x a week
Spiritual
Journal/keep track of prayer requests and answered prayers
I won't necessarily quit working on these things after the first 52 days are over, but I may modify, delete, or add things depending on how everything works out. So hopefully in 52 days, I will have established a few new good habits and done away with a few old bad ones :-)
