Looking back at 2010 I realized that I actually managed to accomplish a lot without even trying. I managed to work out how my brain ticks a long with learning some very valuable lessons. So with that in mind I wondered what would happen if I actually tried to accomplish things.

Those of you who know me well wont be a bit surprised to know that I’ve made a list. I’ve deliberately not made it sound like it’s things I have to do. I know that if I did that I’d be setting myself up for a fall and I’d actively avoid doing any of it. Saying that I also know that if I don’t set myself a goal I’ll never get anything done. So I’ve titled it Challenges.

So here in no particular order are my Challenges for 2011:

  • Go out on my own more.
  • Make time to read blogs and other things that I’m interested in.
  • Blog more.
  • Start cooking some real food for meals not the preprocessed crap that seems to have taken a front seat in my day to day life.
  • Do more craft stuff.
  • Learn how to do other crafting stuff.
  • Make time to write more.
  • Choose something new to learn.
  • Make time to read more.
  • Go out with the camera more.
  • Geek more.
  • Spend less time in front of the TV.
  • Be more organized.
  • Learn to use Lightroom (photo processing software).
  • Looking at it. It seems like a huge list. I don’t know if I’ll achieve all of it. But that’s not the point, for me the point is to have something to work towards. A goal to reach. I haven’t put down things that I’m likely to fail at, like lose 20 pounds by June. That will happen just by being busy. I don’t want to wast time sitting here most days doing nothing, so the list will help me stay focused on what I want to achieve. Don’t get me wrong there will be splat time, in front of the TV. I just don’t want it to be the only thing I do.

    So with that list in mind. Bring it on 2011! I’m ready for you show me what you’ve got!

    A very happy New Year to you all. See you next year.

    1. It’s a big list but it does seem to fit into a few general categories, and there re things that fit together. Making time to read/write more will result in more blog posts read and written. Doing all that stuff you want to do more will result in less time in front of the TV. Learning to do new craft stuff and use LIghtroom are new things you’ve chosen to learn, and going out with the camera and writing more are kinds of crafts (though I know they’re not want you mean! they’re still all about creativity and making things of one sort or another).

      Good luck with it all!

    2. Great post AND great idea!! I know you can do it!
