I never forget my birthday. I plan for it. I plan some more. And for a little extra ... I plan a bit more. I always know what I'm going to make and what my cake or cupcakes will be.
Nothing. It's 6:48PM on the 28th and I have nothing.
So instead of thinking about that, let's talk about 2020.
A new year to me always feels like a clean slate. I have goals, I always do and they're almost always the same.
50+ books
Try new things.
Try to be healthier
Try to save...blah blah blah...
Sometimes I actually break those goals down a bit and really focus on them. They always sit in the back of my mind. Waiting. Hoping I'll fail. They never really seem like I put much thought into them. Maybe for the month of January, then all they do is mock me.
Not this year. No siree...I've got a plan. I've got a little word that will help me focus (ok two little words)
FINISH IT!
That's right. Finish it. I'm the mistress of starting things and suck at finishing things (some things anyhow). I have a laundry list of things I want to accomplish in 2020 and in order to even consider getting half of them done I need a plan. Which I'll figure out eventually. For now...here's the list of things I WANT to do in 2020.
