Bingo update as we’re halfway through February:

  • 6/52 books read, 3 currently in-progress
  • Sooo close to the next section of the rose window afghan
  • Roth is half funded, other accounts are on track to max
  • I’ve been sticking with my exercising, hallelujah
  • I’m not quite exulting in my body but I do generally feel better about it
  • $40/2000 paid ahead on student loans
  • I’ve read 1/15 books I owned before 2020
  • Spending tracking is going well
  • Cardio fitness is definitely getting better! I want to keep it up a little longer before I declare this one done, though
  • Working on the meditation thing – it’s better than it was
  • Almost done gathering materials for my AODA candidate year

COMPLETE:

  • Kitchen waste audit!

I have 3 baking goals and have made something for each of them, so I’m part of the way there! I also realized I was further along in the story I’m writing than I thought, so that’s going well, too.

Hmm… I think my middle row is most likely, because it has a free space and two baking goals. I think the fact that this was a tricky thing to decide means that my randomization was successful!

I know my randomization was good because there’s at least one space that’s going to take several months in each row!

I LOVE THIS. My goal is 50, and I have four in progress.

oh man. I’m still dragging my feet on finding the 24-25 PERFECT items to cross off. I need to just start!

I think tonight it’s going to become “3/52, 6 in progress” – all of my ebook library holds are coming in at the same time, EEP!

Oh my gosh, me too! I’m honestly having the hardest time reading the few physical copies I’ve checked out…the e-books and audio books are much easier for me to consume!

I just picked up 8 library books, good thing they can be renewed/extended!

I’ve unsubscribed to 13 out of my goal of 52 emails so far!

A lot of my squares are pretty pleasant and don’t take a ton of time. I’m sure the rows that include cleaning out my office closet and shredding my mountain of old papers will be the hardest to complete!

HI I have finally bingo-ized my goals. Maybe I should have made that a bingo goal :laughing:

B I N G O
Travel out of country Go for a bike ride Purge 50 things Reupholster bedroom chairs Weight goal
Climb 11b, cleanly Get whole apt clean Plant balcony before mid-Mar Go dancing Finish research paper (submit)
Get cats Go to GP checkup :heart: Go to dentist Knit a sweater
Purge 100 things Pay back parents Use up floss collection Purge 25 things Hike RPV (local)
Homemade pasta Sell dishwasher Visit friend out of state Climb 11c, to top 250 days of core/strength/ stabilizer work

Purge = give away, donate, or trash (in that order of preference). Weight goal is given on my journal. [ETA not in this for prizes/rewards just for fun random goal accountability masking serious goal accountability. :wink: ]

Progress so far is 3 days of exercises before illness and blergh took over our home, and 3 things set to be purged tomorrow (I am counting 35 pcs cutlery as 2 sets or it’s too easy!), a couple more earmarked for posting on BN.

My favourite goal so far :smile_cat:

The only row that doesn’t require a full year to complete is ‘N’ and the second row from the bottom. I may need to reshuffle my card. :crazy_face:

My next boxes to be check off should be “Open 529 Plan for Puglet” and “Donate Blood” (1/25) and “Negotitate more vacation days” (in process)

Oh and I see that the diagonal row starting at the bottom of B going to the top of O can be accomplished before the end of the year as well!

This sounds excellent. Good luck!!

Yes it is morphing into a compressed workweek versus just flat out vacation days but if it gets approved I’ll get 52 extra days off a year versus the 5 I was asking for and will only cost me 2 hours 4 days a week of working from home.

Holy donuts! That payoff would be huge.

I had a lol at your question because almost all of my squares are either multi-part, or will take me a while to get to. So, not really, ha. I suppose column I is most likely, because I have an eye exam scheduled for Feb 3.

But my goal of “Gift or dispose of 100 items” is 25% complete as of today (24 gifted and 1 trashed).
