I promised myself last year that I would not wait until the end of the year to review my goals and then be surprised by what I forgot I said I wanted to do. Now, I am a bit late on doing this review but at least it’s the end of the year!!!
As I reviewed this list, it became clear to me that I will not meet everything on this list. But that’s okay because the list is intended to be grandiose.
As I mentioned in my 2022 Want to Do blog post, I fully expected that I would work on smaller projects not on this list. I’ll review those at the end.
QUARTER 1-JAN-MAR
I actually did do a first quarter review which you can read here.
I did not do quarter 2 which covers April through June. This review will cover quarter 2. The quarter 3 review is for July through September and will be posted in October.
WHERE ARE WE NOW-GOAL CHECK IN
HOME
KITCHEN
-paint cabinets-not yet
-replace light switch in order to dim the lights-not yet

DINING ROOM
-clean out the hutch-not yet
-get rid of the armoire-DONE
-remove boxes and other stuff that doesn’t belong-in progress My dining room table is a catch all place when I work on other projects. I have removed many items but some remain. I have some boxes from my 3rd floor storage waiting to be gone through.
-re-arrange furniture-undecided
MISCELLANEOUS

FITNESS/HEALTH
Set:
-monthly workout goal-yes
-monthly nutrition goal-yes
-monthly step goal-yes
While I don’t meet the goals each month, I am setting them and striving to meet my health and fitness goals.
CREATIVE
-continue with project life monthly-yes
-make a digital or traditional page each month-NO I’m actually glad that I reviewed this because I’d been focused on making only a traditional page and forgot that I gave myself permission to make digital scrapbook pages as well.
-make and send cards to family and friends each month-kind of. I have made some special cards (like a graduation cards) but I haven’t been sending out cards each month as I intended.
SPIRITUAL
-continue gratitude journaling-yes
-read one personal development book each quarter-NO
-engage in some form of self care weekly-yes. I use the term self care very widely. Everything from the typical masks, baths, massages, movies to spending the day doing nothing and not feeling guilty.
FINANCIAL
-weekly budget review-not consistently
-monthly budget review-not consistently
-participate in a weekly savings challenge-yes
WHAT ELSE HAVE I DONE
These are the small to medium sized projects that I’ve completed since the start of the year.
- Removed the broken mirror
- Removed the tv stand
- Removed the bookshelf
- Finished the living room refresh
- Cleaned out the coats closet
As we move into the fall season and toward the end of the 3rd quarter, I am feeling the push to “get going.” I have a few smaller projects that I want to work on along with a couple of bigger projects. Prioritizing will become quite important as we head into the holiday season as it is normal for projects and to-do’s to fall off or shift into new directions.
I’m very happy with where things are right now and look forward to getting some new things done as well.
