Just a few goals for the new year…

I’m heading into 2017 with a new computer (finally making the switch to a Mac), which is a good thing because my old computers have almost certainly become boat anchors, the laptop a few months ago and the desktop today.  So as the bubbly chills, I am trying to remember, retrieve, and construct passwords.  I am resolving to sign up for one of those password-generation thingies.  I am thanking my lucky stars for my backups but kicking myself because I have to retrieve one file at a time.

So in 2017 I will (in no particular order)

  • clean up my digital life at least a little bit (passwords first)
  • write more handwritten notes
  • continue (and expand) efforts to de-clutter at home
  • explore more places away from home but nearby
  • connect with more people and connect them to one another

I could go on, but I think I will work on these five things and give myself a break on a few others. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of challenges in 2017, and beyond these goals I will simply try to do what I can where I am with what I have for as long as I can.

Who’s with me?

  1. Paula, I like your idea of limiting the verbalizing of goals. Perhaps I could achieve more if I did that. Happy New Year!

  2. Wow other then number 2 we’ve got the same goals. Oh and I want a six pack this year we’ll see how that goes, considering I keep baking tarts.

  3. I’ve settled on a New Year’s resolution. I resolve to become minimally competent regarding household repairs such as hanging curtain rods, replacing filters, repainting and repairing walls if minor, mending drooping wallpaper, etc., etc. etc. I own a drill and will become comfortable using it! And this summer I will probably purchase a lawn mower that has a power start – the only thing stopping me from mowing the law.
