I’ve given up feeling as if I need to write a list of 10 things I want to accomplish, instead, here are a few things I REALLY want/need to do this year.
- Find a permanent job – the role I’m currently in is fixed term until the end of March; I have a mortgage now (still somewhat surreal to say), so NEED to find something before I finish what I’m doing at the moment.
- Get out of Wellington more – I love this city, but I have Cabin Fever Like Whoa, and really need some time away. We’re going to Auckland for my birthday, and to Canada in July; I cannot wait.
- Save for Canada – I really need to stop spending money on crap I don’t need and set some funds aside for our trip to Canada. I’m planning on setting a certain amount of money aside each pay week and then transferring everything I haven’t spent into my savings account when I next get paid.
- Get another new passport – I (FINALLY) got a replacement passport for the one I lost (in 2004) in September when we were going through the process of buying our apartment, but our Canada trip has been booked under my married name, so I need to get a new one.
- Lose at least 10kg by the end of the year – I got weighed at the doctor’s beginning of last year, and it was the kick in the ass I needed to finally do something about my weight.
- Write/blog more often/on a regular basis – I think this has been a goal of mine for the past two years…
- Read more – This is another goal I’ve had for the past two years; I used to be SUCH a bookworm, I just have such a short attention span now, and if something doesn’t ‘grab me’ within the first page, I give up. If you have any recommendations you think might capture my attention let me know.
- Be less negative – the other day I posted on twitter that ‘constantly miserable was getting old’. I’m really sick and tired of being unhappy. Here’s to figuring out how to make that happen.
Yes on reading more! I’m with you on that one.
