Thank you for this thread! Here are my goals, starting small for my first month doing this:

Finance:
-Save at least 1000$ in cash savings
-Less than 400$ in grocery shopping, ideally around 300-350$

Personal:
-Read at least one book during the month
-Eat reasonable portions, especially in the evening. Avoid overeating to the point of not feeling good after the meal
-Workout minimum 4 days a week (2x cardio, 2x resistance training)
-7000 steps a day

Home:
-Maintain my updated cleaning routine (updated because with the work full time, study part time, and life, I couldn't keep up with my strict routine and I'm not happy about how my apartment is looking now, so I made is less strict)

Thank you for the November thread!

I was not in a good place during  the latter part of October, but I made some changes (mental and physical) and I now feel much better.
Here is my list for November.


  • As usual: sleep more. I need to sort out schedule my evenings with time stamps and go to bed earlier.
  • Drastically reduce time spent on stupid things on my phone.
  • Start using the selling app to get rid of things and make some money. Goal is to list 10 things during November to try it out.
  • Continue with my bedroom. Plan for November: find an electrician and contact the carpenter.
    Possible additional tasks: decide wall colour, buy wall papper, trip to IKEA to buy bed and storage solution, build cupboards (maybe not all of this will happen in August September October November, but now I really need to make progress).
  • Eat better. No details for now, have to think about this one. But of course decrease sugar is one part.
  • Go to the gym once a week.
  • Make sure the kids help out more at home .
  • Continue planning and also focus on doing! This needs to happen all of November.
  • Do one thing a day instead of procrastrinate. I will create a list of 30 things I want completed during the month.
  • Finish closing down the balcony for winter.
  • Placeholder bc I know I have forgotten something.



I track with colors:
Green: completed
Blue: progress/on track
Orange: at risk/behind
Red: did not complete

Thanks for posting the new month:)

Work Related:   
   -Work on futurecoder on at least 4 days-I think I can handle once a week

Creative:
   -Make at least 3 embroidered ornaments (that should be enough for this year)
   -Finish embroidered present for one friend
   -plan and start Christmas present for another friend.
   -Figure out present for mom, embroidered or not (I already got dad's)
   -Finish art swap projects-dice bag and flour sack towel

Health:
   -Exercise at least twice a week-need to do this, especially since it's still unseasonably warm out.  And my feet are almost better, so that should help
   -Schedule at least one hangout with a friend, or at least try in case people are busy and no one can.
   -Follow No-S diet for 15 days -keeping this one, it's a not stressful way for me to eat better.
   -
Household:
   -2 sessions of decluttering the basement, 20 minutes minimum each time-reducing this one, but the pile is getting significantly smaller
   -Make all school lunches, no buying without planning in advance (pizza days)
   -Do more than half (5/9) of the monthly chores, focusing on ones that haven't been done in a while
   -Do 2 Seasonal chores

And I think that's enough to be going on!
