Dear Adventure Avenue,
Last year, my monthly goals were an adventure of curiosity and personal growth. This year, I’m feeling 2022 (Taylor Swift fans out there will get the reference) and plan on working on things that I enjoy doing or that I want to accomplish this year. Let’s get to it!
Goals for the New Year
1. GROW A GARDEN
I realized once gardening season started last year that I should have made gardening one of my goals for last year. I love to garden, but with this as a goal, I plan on keeping better track of my gardening adventures. This year in the garden, I plan to:
Plant zucchini in the new plot I started. I’m trying a no dig method to deal with bad soil and weeds.
The war against the slugs and snails has begun! Those little pests keep eating my green beans and squash that are in the no dig patch.
Plant the tomato seeds I saved from my favorite tomato plants of 2021.
I planted Snow White tomatoes and Amy’s Apricot, but the Amy’s didn’t germinate. I have planted the Snow White tomatoes pots and they seem to be doing well.
I still have my Snow White and Amy’s Apricot tomatoes from last year thriving and producing lots of tomatoes!
Plant herbs and/or strawberries in my new Vertical planter – affiliate link here.
I started some basil seeds and added them to my planter. Everything else will most likely wait until April when my local Arboretum has their plant sale.
I still have my green onions! They are on their fourth or fifth round! I harvest the green shoots by cutting them off with scissors and freezing the chopped up green onion.
2. DO YOGA 60 TIMES THIS YEAR – THAT’S JUST 5 TIMES A MONTH!
I love yoga, and it’s so good for my physical and mental health.
I finished a 30-day yoga challenge on YouTube with Yoga with Adriene.
In January, I practiced yoga 22 times! (How fitting!)
In February, I practiced yoga 8 times!
In March, I practiced yoga 3 times
In total, I practiced yoga 33 times!
3. READ OR LISTEN TO 22 BOOKS
I like to track the books I read throughout the year. Since I love to read, this is a great 2022 inspired goal.
So far this year I have read:
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendency: Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn
Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good by Timothy Zahn
I’m still working on Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser and Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil by Timothy Zahn. I like to have multiple books to read at once. I started listening to the audiobook Chanel’s Riviera using Libby, my library app.
4. DECLUTTER 1000 ITEMS
After reading Declutter Like a Mother by Allie Casazza last year, I decided to give decluttering a go. I started this goal on December 3 and had already decluttered 179 things.
In January, I decluttered 322 items.
In February, I decluttered 27 items.
In March, I decluttered 18 items.
In total, I decluttered 537 items!
I’m just using a piece of graph paper to track mine, but Let’s Live and Learn is where I got the idea to declutter 1000 items. She has a printable that may be helpful – link here.
I sent in another ThredUP Athleta box – you can check that out here!
5. MAKE 100 POSHMARK SALES
This goal goes along the same lines as goal #4 as some of the things I’m decluttering are nice clothes that just no longer fit or serve me, but still have lots of wear left in them. Check out my review of Poshmark here. If you’re interested in Poshmark, use my code asposhadventure to sign up and get a $10 credit.
In January, I sold 36 listings!
In February, I sold 17 listings!
In March, I sold 16 listings! (This doesn’t include a Depop sale or an eBay sale)
Total Listings Sold: 69 listings!
Let’s achieve our goals and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022!
Sincerely,
A
