My Report on 2012 New Year's Resolutions & Some For 2013

Posted on 09:32 by Unknown
I was looking back over my New Year's Resolutions for 2012 and was pleasantly surprised that I'd accomplished a lot of them.

Here's what they were:

  • Read 112 books this year. (I had to really work hard on this one and barely squeaked in by reading the 112th on New Year's Eve. It stretched me for sure, but I did it.)
  • Write ten pages a week minimum on my work in progress. (I didn't do so well on this one, but I did write a manuscript and a half last year so I'm counting that a success.)
  • Organize my papers and pictures. (I organized almost all of my paper boxes and got rid of them. Now I'll start on my pictures I think.  Organizing, not getting rid of.)
  • Do one memorable family activity per month. (I sort of accomplished this one. Depending on your definition of memorable.)
  • Be more understanding with myself and others. (I like to think I accomplished this one. I feel like I did.)


I'd also like to set a few resolutions for 2013 and post them here for accountability's sake.


  • Read 113 books this year. 
  • Finish two manuscripts this year.
  • Organize my pictures by scanning them in and categorizing them.
  • Organize my file cabinet.
  • Delete at least 7000 emails from my inbox.
  • Make a t-shirt quilt with all my old "keepsake" t-shirts.

I know those goals will stretch me a bit out of my comfort zone and I like that idea. I stink at quilting and my reading time might not allow for 113 books, but if I write it down and look at it often, I know I can accomplish all of these.


Do you make New Year's Resolutions? What are some of yours?
