I love a new year. While lots of people trash on a new year or making resolutions, I have to disagree. A new year is always a time of reflection and hope for new things.
While I haven’t been writing as much lately, I have had a bunch of life changes and have been trying to settle in somewhat. Hopefully, my posting schedule will get more regular in the next few weeks.
One thing I started doing years ago (2020, to be exact) was start a list of things I’d like to do, read, try, accomplish throughout the year. I found the idea and list pdf from gretchenrubin.com!
Last year, I did 23 for 23 books. It was the first time I did a list for reading. While I didn’t complete every book on the list, I did read over 23 books for the first time in years, so I found it quite inspiring. This year, I decided to do two lists. One for books, and one for goals/life.
Here’s my reading list for 2024!
Here’s my 24 for 24:
1. Read 24 books.
2. Pay off credit cards.
3. Full sketchbook.
4. Post 52 articles on Medium.
5. Create daily (cooking counts!!)
6. Practice crafting/diy.
7. Try making tinctures.
8. Learn to can.
9. Weekend getaway with just the husband.
10. Plan monthly coffee or lunch date with a friend.
11. Try new recipe.
12. Try new restaurant.
13. Be consistent with planner.
14. Read Bible through.
15. Create functional studio/office.
16. Resale items online or consign.
17. Replace plastics in home; don’t buy more plastic.
18. Written budget monthly.
19. Monthly date night.
20. Create life/home binder
21. Learn to see/mend.
22. Go hiking.
23. Go camping.
24. Submit artwork and writings to contest/galleries.
So, busy year ahead of me. I am looking forward to it.
Best,
Jomad
