New Year's Resolutions?

[gatorsmom]

Anyone been thinking about what they'd like to do different in the new year? Now, I'm not a believer that you can make a lasting effect pn your behavior by just making a big, abrupt change overnight. But there have been some things I've really been wanting and needing to do and I figure announcing it as a New Year's Resolution to the world might give me that extra push to get started. Here are mine:

1) I will NOT stay up all hours of the night for any reason. Sleep deprivation is making me batty.

2) I will devote a MINIMUM of 20 minutes every Monday morning to filing. I won't let it pile up to a dangerous height like I have been doing for the past year.

3) I will eat better and exercise a MINIMUM of 3 days per week. My goal is to lose weight for my class reunion in August with the added benefit of having more energy and being healthier.

4) NO MORE EXCUSES- My children will watch a MINIMUM of 2 hours TV per day. And that in the afternoon while I'm making a healthy dinner.

Ok, I'm feeling empowered. Anyone else want to share?

A MINIMUM of 2 hours of tv? (I think you mean maximum - the sleep deprivation is really getting to you, Lisa! :)

I was thinking the same thing. Ok, I'll start thinking about resolutions... Not sure if I've ever followed them.

I already have big changes planned for next year - my son is due to be born in May and I will be stopping work to be a SAHM once my current assignment is finished. I don't know what else I want to change yet with two such big things going on!

None for me. Too much pressure. :) I like to spread my life changes out throughout the year and take them in baby steps. There are things I do want to change though and will get to:
-stay on top of my emails
-promptly thank people for gifts, volunteer help or anything else because I am good 90% of the time but that 10% makes me feel bad
-eat more produce
-keep an ongoing list of where I put things when I think I am putting them in a "safe", obvious place because I usually can't recall that spot when I need the item!
-pursue some new friendships with people I would like to get to know better
-remind myself that I only get one shot at this life and it is going by too quickly! Savor and reach for goals.

We are going to go through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University this year. So I hope to become more intentional about spending and saving this year.
