I'm constantly coming up with goals for myself and my family. Some people (esp. husband) say I have unrealistic expectations and I set my standards way too high; I know they're right. But that won't stop me from setting some resolutions, especially this time of year. The satisfaction of crossing things off that list of goals is just too satisfying.
Plus, I love looking back and comparing how I wanted things to be with how they actually turned out. It's pretty much a guarantee that I couldn't have planned for a life as good as the one I end up with. Even when things get crazy hard, I'm learning and becoming a better person.
Organization goals:
-have a place for everything even if that means getting rid of stuff (rephrase: that DEFINITELY means getting rid of stuff)
-put things away right after they are used
-prepare at night for the next day
-make a side-of-fridge wooden canned food storage thingy
-make something to store Evie's hair accessories
Photography goals:
-launch a portfolio website
-blog my past work
-create new pricing which includes mini sessions
-save for 35mm 1.4 or 24-70mm
-learn more about lightroom
-offer one on one mentoring sessions for illustrator, photoshop and lightroom
Family Goals:
-have a family night once a week
-have a date night every week (even if it's a stay home date)
-consciously spend at least 15 minutes a day playing with E (maybe switch between activities she wants and ones I want to show her)
-learn how to parent a highly sensitive child
-learn more about my husband by asking new questions
Personal goals
-do not criticize myself or others
-do not complain
-see the good in life and each one of my family members
-make new friends and get to know current ones better
-be grateful
-be ME
-do more of what I love
-let go of the past
-make time for myself
Believe it or not, I have even more goals than this, but they are just for my eyes. By the end of 2013 I hope to have a stronger marriage, be a little better mother, have greater self love and peace, and be more positive over all.
