Great goal! I’m going to be doing a series of time management posts on the blog this year. After a decade of juggling either a law practice and writing or homeschooling and writing, plus an average of 4 books/year, I feel like I know it from the organized side and the pitfall side!

I plan on staying smoke free, since I have to be on oxygen. Then I plan on finishing all the projects that I started.

I plan on eating better! I have been exercising regularly for over a year, which is exciting, but need to get the right fuel in.

Hi and Happy 2013! 🙂 Certainly hoping this is the year we move away from this neighborhood! But more immediately, get to all the books I need to read and review for my blog by the end of the month… 🙂

• I’m going to strengthen my business and also gain a corporate job in the industry to further my experience and knowledge and piggy bank.
• I’m going to remember myself in the happiness equation because I have to be happy to make those around me happy
• I’m going to let go of what doesn’t make me grow, be strong, happy or lose weight, and find stuff that does! Lol
• I am finishing my book and getting it published!
• I will be adding to this list as I accomplish my goals and need more!

I will get back to my hour a day exercise program and eat healthier. I’ve had a hard time getting back into my normal routine following the birth of my baby 3 months ago.
Happy New Years,

Happy New Year! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂

I also plan to read more and to finish getting my sewing room organized so I can clear a spot to set up a card table that I can work a 1,000 piece jig-saw on! If I win the giveaway that will help me to achieve my goal of reading more since I could pick up some more kindle books to read! 🙂

I know I’m graduating college this spring so that’s one thing to look for and I need to find a job too. But most of all I”ll want more books to read and more time for it, but also time for writing.

I want to make a dent in my TBR pile. It now encompasses two book cases. The problem is my favorite authors keep writing more and more great books and I can’t keep up!

I am hoping I can finally get my TBR pile down and read all those books I had to put off last year this year.
At least, that is my goal but with all the great releases out this year, who knows if that will happen! 🙂

I plan on getting organized. I have been overrun by boxes of things that need to be put away or gotten rid of. If I can at least make a dent in the mess, I will be happy, but I would really like to get my house back. We have been renovating an 1898 victorian farmhouse and playing musical rooms in the process. Real easy to let things get away from you.

I plan on getting back into the habit of using my exercise bike at least every other morning. I bought it late summer, but stopped using it when I depressed over Grandma’s passing @ end of Sept. I can really feel the difference after a couple of months (& the holiday eating, lol).
Unfortunately, I’m now at that age where I HAVE to keep up the exercise if I want to stay in any kind of shape. Well, round is a shape, but not the one I want…

I plan on making sure I obey my Drs orders after my back surgery so when I have my knee replacement I can start doing some easy exercising, watching my diet better so my diabetics is better controlled, learning as much about M.S. as I can and not give in to it. I want to get better first for myself then for my family. My daughter is 16 n needs her mommy around for a long time. Biggest thing is No Stress! Can’t have it.

My husband and I have vowed this is our year of DOING. We are big time planners and list makers, it’s the follow through we always have problems with. All those little projects that you mean to do but put off. Not this year! We have already tackled one full page of “to do” so far this year!
Thank you
