On January 3rd I wrote in: Goal planning for 2011
“Some of plans include getting back into a regular fitness routine; continuing my growth in photography; reading more great books; working on my own small business projects; travel; organizing; and more. I’m going to start walking and running again; do a 365 project in photography; take a course in using photoshop; read a mixture of fiction and non-fiction while participating in one or two book clubs; add more content to my website and monetize it; continue blogging regularly and add some creative writing; make a short trip to BC then take my family to Florida; set up a better workspace for myself at home… “
So how much came to fruition?
- I made attempts at a regular fitness routine. I had periods of regular walking, a small amount of running and cycling, and yoga. BUT, I still don’t have a regular routine and this is top priority going forward.
- Photography growth – check
- reading great books – check
- small business projects – lots of research, little action
- travel – check
- organizing – semi-check
- 365 project – lasted about 2/3’s of the year – until life got too hairy to fit it in
- photoshop course – check – but want greater detailed instruction
- book clubs – check – until life got too hairy to fit it in
- website content – check; monetize – not really/feeble attempts
- blogging regularly – mostly
- trip to BC – check
- trip to Florida – check
- workspace at home – sort of – then we moved, now I progress
I have to say I did better than I had thought. That in itself makes this a worthwhile exercise. It will be easier to move forward on my coming plans knowing that I can succeed, and in what areas I need the most planning to make it happen.
