New Year's Resolutions

Here are some things that I'd like to accomplish this year. Only one of them is fitness/nutrition related, but I think that the others will help me to have a more healthy lifestyle.

1. Get in shape. I resolve to keep up with this blog and be accountable for my choices regarding my health. I would also like to get back into triathlon and half-marathon shape.
 

2. Organize and stay on top of things. I made my organization chart to help me keep up with the daily/weekly/monthly and deep cleaning tasks and other things I want to accomplish each day/week (like scripture reading/temple/drinking water/etc). I especially want to clean and organize our desk, computer/laptop files, basement storage rooms, and linen closets this year.


3. Get our food storage and 72-Hour Kits together. Have at least a one-month supply by the end of the year and full 72-hour kits for the whole family.

4. Prepare. I want to take time to better prepare for church, FHE, date night, family activities, daily activities with the kids, etc. so that they will be more meaningful instead of just a rush at the last minute. Not sure how I'm going to do this, but I've got a year to figure it out.


5. Sleep train Zach and potty train Emmy. Sleep training is the first priority, and January will be devoted to that. Once we have Zach sleeping through the night and on a solid schedule, we'll start potty training with Emily. This means that I probably won't be leaving the house much in the next few months. But it will be worth it!


6. Spend quality time each day with Emmy and Zach. Maybe it will only be reading a few stories or (in Zach's case) holding him for 10 minutes, and other times it might be a more elaborate activity, but I want them to each have some individual, quality time with their Mommy every day. And I want to create memories for me of doing these things with them. I also resolve to take more pictures or write about them so I can remember these memories I'm creating.


7. Be on time to church. I don't know why this is so hard! But there are no excuses this year since we have 1:00 church.


Do you make New Year's resolutions? What are yours this year?
