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.
I have planted some zucchini and yellow squash in the bed, and I have more that I need to get into the ground.
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 do have a couple of baby Snow Whites growing under my make-do grow light.
Plant herbs and/or strawberries in my new Vertical planter – affiliate link here.
I started some basil seeds, so hopefully I will have some basil to add 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 and two tomato plants from last year!
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 total, I practiced yoga 30 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.
This month my reading was mostly about IT, project management, and economics.
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 total, I decluttered 528 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!
Total Listings Sold: 53 listings!
Let’s achieve our goals and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022!
Sincerely,
A
