2020 Goals

December 31st, 2019 at 08:32 pm

Here are my goals for 2020. I found a Google template which I used to break the goals down further, and to be able to track them on my phone. There's two sheets - 1 with the goals, and one for tracking my chore cards (part of one of my goals.)

For some of these goals I actually chose a number that is 40-50% less than what I'd really like to achieve. However, in an effort to actually ACHIEVE these goals, I made them for a lower amount.

Here is a link to my goals spreadsheet -

a-Reduce dairy intake to 2x a week and limited amounts.

    These are good goals. I'm glad you broke them down and have more than just something general like "more steps."

    I like the idea of chore cards.

    Impressive goals! We run our dishwasher every night regardless of how full it is. They are very energy efficient. DH unloads it every morning.

    I really like that you have such a detailed plan to reach your goals! The chore cards are an interesting idea. Happy New Year!

    Thanks Rob, I was trying to follow the SMART goal method for the most part - simple, measurable, ....can't remember the rest. Smile
    CCF - We'd have lots of mostly empty loads if I did that. Big Grin

    Wink - Thanks! I wanted something to track both WHAT I did, and WHEN I did it.

    I can't eat dairy or soy due to allergies, and so I also can't eat chocolate. I get my chocolate fix by putting a teaspoon of Hershey's cocoa in my smoothie. It has no sugar or anything else in it.

    @Crazyliblady - Oof! Can’t eat chocolate?? I can’t imagine that ... though I’d be tons healthier. I have a cacao powder I use when I want that chocolate flavor (and am managing to abstain from junk food...) I have a brand new bag of it hidden in one of my cupboards... hopefully I’ll find it after completing my chore card for cleaning out and organizing the cupboard over the fridge (which I think is where it is at.)
