Goals for 2023

The fact that I had to look up my 2022 goals doesn't bode hugely well for whether I managed to achieve them...

This is what I came up with....and a guess of how I've done so far!

Daily

  • 10 minutes of reading (at least) - Yep!
  • 10 minutes of writing (at least) - Nope!
  • 10 minutes of daylight (at least) - Yep!
  • Only have treat food (chocolate, takeaway or booze) if I've had my 5 a day fruit and veg - Nope!
  • 10 minutes of activity - cardio or resistance (at least) - Nope!
  • In bed to allow enough time to sleep for c8 hours - I'll find out my average soon on my Lifecycle app, but I have a feeling that it won't be quite 8 hours
  • 10 minutes of physio exercises - Nope! 
  • Listen to one new piece of music every day - Nope! I did get up to 55 songs in my playlist so a good 310 off what I was aiming for
  • 1 hour everyday away from social media/phone - Nope!
Monthly
  • Read 4 - 5 books (4.33 is needed to hit my target of 52 in the year) - Pretty much achieved
  • One new place visited - Did quite well..but didn't track
  • One walk in a beautiful location - Did ok, but need to do more
  • One thing planted - achieved this
  • One item/box/bag donated to charity/recycled - nope
  • One blog post (at least) - nope!
  • One gym visit/strength session - better, but nope!
  • One new film watched - think I managed this
  • One catch up with friends - not too bad, but need to be better
  • One craft session - only managed a couple of these
  • One letter/postcard - not in general, but did well with postcards whilst in Vegas
  • Lead/coach one run club session - Yep I think I was there consistently on this one
  • One live music/theatre/comedy trip (either attended or booked) - Yep pretty sure this was achieved
  • 12 days veggie only - nope - did make a effort to eat much less meat though!
For 2023 I'm going to try and keep it simple, but also track better! (I've just built a spreadsheet)
