an update on my goals and plans for 2019

I don't have any formal "check-in" dates for my goals, but I felt like checking in on how they're going, so here's an update on my 2019 goals and plans!

• Make a plan for limiting my social media usage and stick to it -- Well, so far I've made a plan, and stuck to it for brief periods of time, but I definitely haven't cemented the changes at all, so there's still work to do!
• Create systems for: working, cleaning, cooking/meal planning, daily activities with Ada, family activities -- I have created systems for most of these things, but again, I'm not actually following through on most of my systems yet.
• Create sleep guides for my business -- I've created two of four sleep guides, so I'm on my way :)
• Learn to drive stick -- no progress.
• Start our first garden -- I read a gardening book, we've purchased seeds, and Russ made us a lattice thing so that we can plant a "square foot garden." All that's left is to buy good soil so we can plant!
• Digitize all photos before 2006 -- no progress.
• Make a mixbook (or multiple mixbooks) of my life up til marriage -- All of my scrapbooks from jr. high through college have been digitized and put into mixbooks online. I still need to print them, and I need to finish up the stuff before jr. high!
• Read 24 books (12 on sleep, 12 on anything else) -- I've read 7 books so far, and I'm almost done with an 8th, so I'm just a little behind. However, my ratio is definitely not 1:1! More like 3:1 (1 being the sleep books).
• Get together with girlfriends I don't see much (or ever) anymore once/month -- Killing this one! I've gotten together with at least one friend each month so far!
• Find a way to spend one-on-one time with my dad monthly -- I've gotten together with my dad twice. We went bowling the first time, and out to dinner the next time. I need to be better about planning these so that they happen!
• Go for tea at the Grand America (bonus points if it's for Witches high tea!) -- no progress
• Keep my "gift for Jesus" at the forefront of my mind (and actions) -- Man, I'm failing with this one. I did really well for the first few weeks or month, but it has definitely dropped out of my mind.

Some daily habit-type goals:

• At least 10 minutes of 
• scripture reading each morning
• superthinking each morning
• thought downloads and models each evening
• book reading each evening

Absolutely failing at all of the above. I'm having a hard time getting my head in the right place for all those productive things I want to do. Which is ironic, since most of that stuff is FOR my head.

Other things:

• Get pregnant and have a baby! -- Check! Baby is due in December!
• Figure out what I want to have for "healthy habits," and do them. -- I progressed and then regressed, so I'm back to square one!
• Completely declutter the house! -- At the beginning of the year, I had already decluttered most of the house -- everything but the hard stuff 😂 I've since done the closet/dresser and the books, but still need to do the office and the garage. I have also decluttered some things even further though (specifically the kitchen), so that's nice.
• Digitally declutter my phone and computer. -- I've definitely done some work on this, but it's one of those things that feels like it can never be done.
• Have playdates pretty much weekly. -- Killing this one! I made a best friend and we get together honestly almost every day (often 2x/day). It's nice to have found someone who I'm compatible with, who has a kid Ada's age, and who is on the same sort of schedule as we are!

All in all, not doing too shabby, and I still have time to finish up the unfinished items, as well as come back to some of these that I've fallen off the wagon with!
