2021 BINGO - A choose-your-own-goals challenge

Because it’s easy to schedule “spend twenty minutes today working on a long-term project,” and hard to schedule “spend eight hours this weekend completing a one-off task”?

… yes and I hadn’t even thought of it that way.

I haven’t posted any progress yet, in part because there was only limited progress to report in January and February. I doubt anything is going to change between now and April 1, so I’ll post now.

Colors represent months
Dark blue January (panang curry)
Light blue February
Light green March

I’m not fully vaccinated (that will happen next month) but I’m claiming the square now. I don’t plan to claim a bingo until I’m through the vaccination process.

@diapasoun You asked a while back about my witchy book goal and I remembered another reason for it. I listen to quite a few witchy podcasts and I love them. However, I don’t retain very much information via audio. More books mean more I can actually remember and put into practice!

Nothing new complete for March, but a little bit of progress in a couple areas.

Well, there was obviously a reason why I always delayed an update.
The three red marked goals are already busted. Goal is now to mitigate them to at least some orange/greenish colour over the next month. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

with the other ones I am on track, reading is always up and down. :grin:

I am getting a check today that will put my efund at $10k. My goal is definitely going to be getting as many squares as I can; not stopping now!

Edited because I accidentally colored in the wrong square…

I completed several items in May–no bingo yet, though!

Also, note that I changed my coloring page goal to an embroidery project goal. They pretty much occupy the same mental niche for me, but I’m enjoying embroidery more.
