2020 Vision (or - how to have too many goals)

2020
A NEW DECADE & NEW START
OR JUST ANOTHER YEAR?

I'm thinking this list is too long! Let's see if I can prioritize it and stick with it quarterly, monthly, weekly.

·        Research changing primary care doctor
·        Research how to address gum issue

Enrichment/Learning
·        Set non-family travel budget & dates (San Antonio or Santa Fe and somewhere with beach/mountains)

  3. I like your list, it varies from health concerns to connecting with family and friends and learning new things.

  4. I love posts like this. Love a good list. List maker myself. Had not thought about this coming new year being the first of a shiny new decade. Wow! Exciting and a bit scary.
    Nodded in agreement and solidarity on so many of your goals, so much of your vision. Clothing budget - I have bit the bullet and registered for the GYPO capsule wardrobes. Now to shop my closet more, create my own versions of outfits for each seasonal challenge, and to purchase only things I truly love. Continuing on WW, and weight lifting, and going to the gym. Love the plans you have for connecting with immediate and extended family. Appreciate your ideas for finances, home improvement and health.

    1. Thank you for your inspiration. I decided not to sign up for GYPO as I have plenty of cool weather clothes and just need to play with styling them. Post your learnings from the process please!

  5. I too love your plans for scheduling time with family. It's too easy to let time slip by without a plan in place. Think I will steal that one.

  6. Oka now that I'm in hotel and not reading on the road I love the patron thing. We have alot of small local theater and orchestras. The clothes and stuff like that I will be putting g to a seperate moving list I think.

  7. This list makes me tired just looking at it! I like your idea of breaking it out into quarters, months, and weeks... That seems far less overwhelming! I need to reinstitute breakfasts/coffee dates with my adult children! That was my favorite item from 2019, and it needs to become a non-negotiable monthly date.
