My Goals for 2020
I’m not usually one for making New Year’s resolutions, because I don’t love the idea of setting a year time limit to accomplish some task or form some habit. However, I do like setting long-term goals for myself (but I’m not necessarily limiting myself to achieving them within a year). While some of these goals are a bit more on the long-term end of the goal-setting spectrum, I also try not to set goals that are unrealistic or downright unachievable. So without further ado, here are my 20 goals for 2020:
Read 40 books in 2020 (I read 35 in 2019)!
Continue climbing at least once a week.
Pass my lead climbing test at my gym.
Cook dinner at home at least 5 nights per week.
Bring my lunch to work at least 4 times per week.
Spend more time outside on a daily basis, whether that’s going on a walk before work, or taking time to journal on our back porch.
Work on organizing our apartment on a regular basis!
Declutter my closet and really pare back my wardrobe.
Start investing and saving more of my money! (I’ve worked very hard on paring back my spending in 2019)
Continue to put my physical and mental well-being first and use more productive coping mechanisms to deal with stress.
Blog and write more!
Begin doing more freelance writing for local publications.
Discover more music in 2020!
Keep wedding planning stress to a minimum.
Find a way to stay informed going into this election year without getting stressed or overwhelmed (hey a girl can dream)!
Get involved in whichever candidate’s campaign speaks to me most and volunteer!
Try more new restaurants and explore more San Francisco neighborhoods that I haven’t spent much time in.
Go on more date nights with Brad!
Journal more as a way to chart my mood and my emotions and remind me to stay present.
Move to another state! Eeep, I can’t believe I’m writing this one down, but Brad and I have a big move out of California planned for this summer and I am simultaneously incredibly excited and extremely nervous. I will be sharing a lot more about this process in the coming months once more things are finalized but a new adventure awaits us in the middle of 2020!
