2018 Goals

Basically I want to continue on the path I’m already on, but get better. These are the things I want to accomplish in 2018.

Read 12 books, roughly alternating between fiction and non-fiction. Chronicle those books on GoodReads.
Read magazines the month they come in, or cancel the subscription altogether.
Use the Habit List app to track daily habits.
Learn basic Photoshop. Or at the very least, Lightroom!
Take at least two cooking classes. Learn the basics of cooking so I don’t have to make everything from a recipe.
Find a skincare routine that works for me.
Take a private makeup class and learn how to do some new looks.

Become a “plant lady” and bring lots of greenery into our home. Buy fresh flowers weekly.
Acquire a few key furniture pieces for our home and hang some things on walls.
Create a place for friends to gather. Throw weekly dinner parties and at least one bigger party per quarter.
Cook at least one new recipe every week.

Lose myself in art once per week, in a dance class, watching a performance, seeing a film, experiencing great food, going to a museum. Whatever.
Capture and share at least three photos a week, featuring a variety of subjects.
Write at least one blog per week for Many Things Megan. Alternating between parenting-focused and something else-focused.
Share articles on other websites, like Scary Mommy, Pregnant Chicken, and other sites with a sense of humor. Get at least three articles published externally in 2017.

Get Also Mom live and continue to add new content regularly. Generate a profit in 2018.
Grow Reclaimed into a real business selling real products.

Prioritize self-care. Spend at least 30 minutes on myself each day, doing yoga, getting acupuncture or a massage, going for a run, climbing, whatever… as long as it’s for me and as long as it’s a dedicated window of time.
Practice yoga at least three days per week, in whatever form feels right for my body and mind in that moment.
Climb at least once per week, continuing to choose challenging routes.
“Meditate” daily, even if that just means breathing while listening to a piece of music I like.
Try pilates and incorporate what I learn to help even out and strengthen my left side.
Complete at least one 30-day streak of eating no added sugar.

Continue to devour and sift through parenting advice.
Continue to eat fresh, organic, healthy foods. Work hard to find farms and butchers that produce meat ethically. Buy from them as exclusively as possible.
Continue to use the EWG list to choose which cleaning and beauty products are allowed in our home.
Continue to choose ways to create minimal waste.
