Tuesday, January 11th 2011 -- New Year's Goals

So I bought myself a half priced organizer for my life a couple days after the new year, since.. it was cheaper and i wanted one. I found one I liked.. it was called a "poshplanner" or something silly.

I like it because it has a calender that's a month on each page in the beginning but then is like a normal agenda looking object after-wards, to write in all your appointments and dates. In the back, the obvious contact list and emergency numbers but the size and the set up of this basic organizer makes my world go 'round right now!

In the notes section, on the first page I put a page called "new years goals" simply because I like the word goals instead of resolutions, the world goal just makes it seem a little more real to me. Nobody really ever follows their resolutions, but setting goals for yourself seems a bit more realistic.

Somethings I put in my 'New Years Goals' list are things to help me not only better my health but my social life and my over all sanity.

• Make a submission for my art portfolio, at least one good piece a month.
• Go out on an outing with friends at least once a month (i'm not the best with making plans and keeping them, or being social and going out the best of times.. so setting this one low was necessary as it makes me feel better since as of today, I've gone out twice with friends)
• Go see a movie in theatres once a month (Not to be counted as an outing with friends, unless hangoutage (my own word...) occurs before and or after the movie)
• Start eating healthier and taking care of myself (a recent doctors visit has 'caused me to now drastically to do this goal, as its important to my health after I had set this goal for myself.)
• Purge my closet and belongings in June and again in December, donate everything I need to part with.
• Try to be nicer in the long run of things. (this.. may seem silly to those who do not know me... but trust me.)

These are just a few out of the page of long things, a lot have a time limit on them (like the art pieces one) and some are just for me to complete within the year. Usually I set un-realistic things to do then feel crummy when I don't accomplish the things I set. Though, even while setting those things before, I knew I wouldn't be able to do them. This year however I hope to have better luck!
