My 2018 New Year's Resolutions

It's a brand new day and a brand new year. I'm looking forward to this fresh start, and renewing my hope that this year will bring us prosperity and answered prayers.

As I mentioned last week, I started a brand new notebook for post ideas and inspiration, now that I'm to the end of my current notebook. I'm excited to start filling these (100% recycled) pages!



MY RESOLUTIONS


FOCUSING ON WHAT'S IMPORTANT

I don't think it's an underestimation to say we can all spread ourselves a little thin sometimes. Between my day job, the blog, my freelance writing, extracurriculars and quality time with my family and friends, I started to feel a bit burnt out this past year. In 2018, I'm looking forward to prioritizing what and who are most important, being more assertive at saying no, and managing my time better. Let's see if I actually get better at being more productive in the morning before work. HA!

READING WITH MORE INTENTION

Skimming emails or messages can make me miss important details, and I've realized how much I need to get better at slowing down and fully reading what comes my way.

MORE ZERO-WASTE EFFORTS

As I've learned even more about zero-waste efforts during 2017, one area I'd love to be more dedicated in is shopping from the bulk bin at the grocery store, using my own containers. I'd also love to find a way to buy fish and meat without Styrofoam and plastic wrap.

ACHIEVE A MORE MINIMALIST APPROACH AT HOME


My husband and I are tackling some projects around the house, and we're working to streamline what we have, organize more, and keep what's most important and useful to us.


INBOX ZERO

One area where I intend to declutter and stay decluttered is in my email inboxes. Last week at work, I got down to inbox zero (from almost 2,000 read emails from the past six months), and it felt great. This year, I'm going to aim to keep all of my email inboxes at least as close to empty as I can, and at least feel on top of my emails! (And maybe this year, I'll finally tackle organizing and backing up all my files on my laptop...)



WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE ON THE BLOG THIS YEAR?

As I work on ideas for new blog posts, I'm interested to hear what you want to read more about! Email me or message me on Facebook if there's a topic you want me to write about.
