#MiddleburyCT #Seniors #Goals
I don’t know what it is about hanging up a new calendar that makes me want to organize the whole year and set goals. But once again, as I hung up the 2025 calendar on the kitchen wall, I immediately began to consider how I might make the new year better and more productive. As part of being “organized,” I decided to set daily, weekly and monthly goals.
Here is what my 2025 will look like:
On a daily basis I will do some form of exercise. (Let’s see how long this lasts.) It might be 15 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes of bicep-building with hand weights. I’ll spend 30 minutes on the piano, and for brain strength I’ll do one or more crossword puzzles.
I will read one book per week. This shouldn’t be too hard, thanks to Kindle Unlimited on Amazon. Each week I will vacuum, whether I want to or not, and complete one section in my free online French lessons (www.duolingo.com). I’ve already started playing online chess (see chess.com) against the computer as a skills brush-up before signing up for weekly in-person chess at the rec center.
Monthly I will try to increase my savings by cutting back on what I spend. This one might be tough. And I’ve already volunteered to make the morning hello calls from the senior center on four days next month.
In the middle of all that, I’ll organize and plan for summer, when I’ll grow a few vegetables. I’ll vow to donate half the fresh veggies to the food bank. And I want to do a slow but thorough decluttering before next fall.
How about you? Does that new 2025 calendar with all the empty boxes make you want to fill them out? What will you do with your 2025?
