My curtains are done (even though my sister did the vast majority of the work). I declare myself done.
The large shredding bag went to recycling.
Donation/dump run - we went into lockdown and I was unable to complete (I did drop off 1 of 3 stops)
I did not sort ticket stubs for drop off (lockdown). Can be done in the new year when things get ready to open up again.
But I did start and complete other projects around the house.
Week 4 check in
Credit card: called, not a goal anymore
craft room: put in 4 hours of cleaning. It looks better now. That averages 1 a week.
cans: done
Donation box: finally done
So I think I met the goals.
As near as I can tell the IRA conversion went through. I’m 2/2 on stated goals and probably 0/4 on timely reporting, but whatever.
Success!!!
- Close business checking - complete
- Set up automatic transfer to Ally online savings - complete
- Finish baby proofing - move under the sink chemicals, put locks on kitchen cabinets, finish the baby’s room - All we have left are the cords in kitchen/baby’s room and cabinet locks and these are not getting done today.
- Put away the larger size baby clothes - done 12/24
- Clean out garage from the last (and final!) trip from storage - complete 12/29
- Sell extra fridge - complete 12/31
- Actually put up Christmas tree & decorations - complete 12/19
Plus we actually did a ton of stuff that wasn’t on this original list while I’ve been off this week.
Making it just under the wire. The main floor (about 500 sq. ft.) is the cleanest it’s been in months. Yay!! I have a functional, clean table and dust-free shelves. I admit that the half bath got a quick superficial clean, but I’m counting it!!
I’m still struggling with getting back into PT, but I’ve done my stretches the last three days before bed and today I did some yoga.
I’ll call it 3/4 goals accomplished. Happy New Year!
Okay, I’ve accomplished everything except finding a home for the games! I count it as a major win.
I did not really end up doing work on my hit by a bus folder. I am not going to do this in the next few hours. So I didn’t complete the challenge, but I’m happy I got the things done that I did!
schedule an appointment with my dr to discuss next steps for my knee- make sure I’m up to date on my benefits claims
max out rrsp/ pre-set the regular rrsp contribution beyond the amount work matchesget my rrsp in QT out of cash and buy some ETFs alreadyseam my lariat sweater
everything except for the benefits stuff, which was thwarted by the work VPN. The sweater seaming took hours and hours. I’m concerned that maybe it is a tad short and tight on the sleeves. I’ll try blocking it tomorrow and trying it on with appropriate garments before making any decisions.
Week 4 check-in (on time for once!)
-Scarf knitting: DONE. ONLY TOOK 6 MONTHS LOL
-Using up 3 lotions: Still have 2 left, making progress.
-Read 7 books: at 7/7, almost done with another
Final final update:
-Scarf knitting: still done. Scarf has not gained sentience and demanded more effort
-Use up 3 lotions: I still have 2 left, but they are both ALMOST empty. SO CLOSE
-Read 7 books: at 8/7. Finished strong with a 200-ish page academic book, woot
I didn’t finish either my floor or my resume.
But I made fantastic progress!
get rid of the ones I’m never going to read (really need to be honest with myself about that!)
So real!
Yay, floor!
Mine are:
- Start a will (should also give me a bingo!) - ugh, I looked into getting this started, have moved to 2021 bingo!
- Finish decluttering garage - DONE today 2/1, bit late but whatever.
- Set up balcony for summer - mostly done, got some new-to-me chairs. Moved to 2021 bingo.
- List vintage wedding gowns on fb marketplace - photos taken, will list this month, also moved to 2021 bingo to finish off.
- Read 7 more books to hit 52 - DONE
I didn’t complete a whole lot but my aim was to at least start and I think I at least got the ball rolling, plus we had nearly two weeks of gastro and recovery in the household so I’m ok with the progress. Success.
Well, nothing in the money list got done except adjusting my goals and spending-- I did get rid of the spider sanctuary! The piles of donation stuff should go out tomorrow. The work computer is mostly set up, and should be a lot easier on my neck
I saw my friends faces and got the secret santa out on time! The workout routine and cousin gifts will have to wait for this coming week though
flunked out, did not complete my ONE task.
It’s okay as long as you survived 2020.
2021 edition!!
Continuing the tradition of the past 2 years, we have an end of the year challenge. Get it Done December and will run from December 1 to December 31. The goal for Get it Done December is to clear out those lingering tasks that you thought you would get done in 2021. You must declare them and try to get them done before the end of the year. You can also choose to “extinguish” the task and guilt-free ditch any resolutions or goals that simply couldn’t or didn’t happen this year. Let them go! E…
