I'm rating myself with a stoplight system for lack of a better way.
This is my 2010 list:
ART:
- learn to knit --Need more practice but have the concept down
- use the supplies I have instead of buying new --only purchased garage sale/thrift store supplies
- finish my circles quilt --DONE
- open an Etsy shop --open, stocked and have made 2 sales!
- complete my Nature altered book --not yet but am getting closer
- Be Creative Every Day --it's not always art but I feel I do something creative most days
- get back to eating healthy --the holidays have been a set back
- get back to my exercise routine --not at the level I want to be...goal needs to continue for sure.
HOME:
- paint the kitchen cupboards --nope
- plant more veggies --Yes..will plant more next year
- de-cluttter in prep for a monster garage sale --YES! huge sale
- repurpose and recycle more --hard to measure this one but I think I have
I must be a glass half-full kind of person because I see the goals that I haven't quite met not as failures as some would but as stairs I have climbed on my way to the goal.
Over all I'm glad I made this list. Obviously, I didn't do everything I wanted to but really...who does? I'm going to think about my goals for 2011 now. I think accountability is a great motivator.
You are exactly right. If I don't make a list like this, then I tend to nver get things done that I really want to get done. So this is a great idea for everyone. Looks like you did great actually. I've had years that I do good and years that I don't do so good. But like you said, I don't count them as failures. Well, I'm off to make my list as well. Thanks for sharing this.
