2024 Goals Update February

Dear Adventure Avenues,

This is the year of books – at least it is for my goals! Not all my goals are related to books, but there are 3 that are at least book adjacent. Then I also have a movement goal, two decluttering goals (one physical, one digital clutter), one blog goal, and one fun goal!

1. Read 24 books in 2024

I read two books in January. I listened to In the Weeds by B.K. Borison and listened to The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs by Joel Salatin. I also finished reading Switch on your Brain by Caroline Leaf on my kindle. which I didn’t love except for chapter 13 – not enough science. I love my kindle by the way!

This year I’ve read:

  1. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood 
  2.  Madame de Pompadour by Nancy Mitford

2. Read 4 books in French

Last year, I had a similar goal, but not a solid number of books to read. I’m hoping with a specific number, this goal will be attainable.

I did not read any books in French last month.

3. Participate in at least five library activities.

I have already joined two library challenges and finished one.

4. Write and post 3 family recipes

Nothing written down yet.

5. Move for 2024 minutes. This includes yoga, riding the Peloton bike, Pilates, etc.

In January, I did yoga for 25 minutes and rode the peloton bike for 93 minutes for a total of 118 minutes.

In February, I did yoga for 65 minutes.

This year, I have moved for 185 minutes.

6. Finish Decluttering 1000 items. As of January 6, I had decluttered 389 items.

I decluttered 34 items in January.

I decluttered 44 items in February for a total of 467 items decluttered.

7. Offload photos so my camera roll has less than 5000 photos. I’m starting off with 11,790 photos and videos.

In January, I had 11,717 photos and videos on my phone – Progress!

At the end of February, I had 11,651 photos and videos on my phone.

8. Go to Disney enough times to make my Disney Magic Key “worth it”!

I have the Enchant Key which is the second tier and means I can go on some Sundays and most weekdays (but due to work, I’ll only be spending weeknights). I calculated an hour at Disney would ‘cost’ $10, meaning I would need to be at Disney for at least 85 hours. Not a bad goal to have!

In January, I spent 23 hours at the parks! (over 3 days and only spent $15 on parking!)

In February, I spent 24.25 hours over 3 days at Disney! I paid $43.25 on parking (though some of that was a gift card).

In total, I have spent 24.25 hours at the parks!

Until next time,

A
