I’m on a roll right now.  Just had a really good Skype hang with Casie and am feeling so excited and positive about this year.  I’m catching up on all my posts from the past few weeks and am working hard on redesigning my blog layout, again.  I decided that I really want to do it on my own and that means I’ll have to learn a lot of things myself.  I’m a fast learner and know the basics so I think I’ll be ok, and I’ve found out that if you ask for help and advice online, people respond pretty fast.

I’m not really a resolution type of person, more of a “set goals and try to achieve them” type, so here are the goals I’ve made for myself so far this year.

  • Sew more clothing for myself
  • Create more quality content for my blog.
  • Design a blog identity – layout, logo and header.
  • Get my office set up so it is a more productive space.
  • Organize my business to run more efficiently and set goals.
  • Use a hard copy day planner again – I have been trying to get my hands on a 2010 Moleskin Color A Month – anyone know where I can get one in Toronto?  I can’t get one from the US for 2-3 months now.
  • Take more “Me” time – try to take at least an hour a day where I am unplugged and unavailable.
  • Find a good, local Yoga class or instructor at practice at least once a week
  • Live a greener lifestyle and try to influence those around me to adopt greener practices
  • Get involved with a charity – I just have to pick one, or ones.  Suggestions are more than welcome,
  • Cook more and eat a more balanced vegetarian diet.  I’m a sucker for pasta every night.
  • Go on my first all-inclusive, exotic vacation (I’ve only been to England and all over North America).  I don’t really care where, just somewhere there is sun, sand and water that I can see the bottom of.
  • UPDATE: Another goal was to get my blog a PageRank and I just went to check it out and I went from 0 to 2 in the last month!  Thank you :)

I feel like this is a good start.  I’ve enjoyed my staycation the past week and cannot wait to get back to work on Monday.

Have you set any goals for the year?
