This was a weird year for resolutions. I was very much letting the year steer itself, both hands off the wheel. Which resulted in me not striving towards these goals in the slightest.
So How did I do?
**Buy Nothing Year **
HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahha omg no.
I tried at first. I was easily swayed while out with friends. I kept trying to rededicate myself to the Buy Nothing, but it just never stuck. I think around March or April it just fell off my radar and I totally forgot I’d even made this resolution until I re-read the original entry a month ago.
January Cure/Uncluttered
I fell off the wagon for both of these items. I don’t remember why, I also don’t remember putting any effort into following the respective plans. Maybe I forgot?
Home Efficiency review + resulting repairs
I got the efficiency review completed. But we have done exactly NONE of the recommendations. Yet. We have a few more months.
**I would like to save 15% of my gross income **
This is one thing I got right right! I saved 25% of my income! And that’s not excluding what I give to charities (which is not a comparable percentage, just to be clear). Is it bad that my immediate thought was “I can do better”. I’m not sure I can, especially with home repairs and a new car on the horizon.
Get out of my own way
Turns out it’s not so much me getting in my own way as mental illness. There’s definitely room for improvement on the me front, but I think I was doing pretty good, especially with working on the Greenhouse, for a while. Then my mental health took a bit of a nose dive and motivation went with it.
Spend more time creating
The Art Room was a lovely little haven for about half the year. It still could be, but I’ve been spending more time in the reading room with M, reading comics and researching deities. I was in the art room again today for the first time in a while and I definitely need to spend a little more time in there. I just really like hanging out with my husband. It has been nice having a space dedicated to my hobbies.
