I feel like I have so much I want to accomplish in 2026, maybe because it's a milestone birthday, or as the boys get older, they require less of our time (definitely not less money ;-)), and I have more time to set goals for my own self development. Regardless, there's a lot on the list this year. I may cut back as it gets closer to January.
For now, here's what I'm thinking.
Financial:
- Continue to pay for both boys college expenses
- Earn $2000 in side hustle
- Stay on top of food waste by doing monthly pantry or freezer challenges
- Make an anonymous and meaningful donation to someone in my community who needs it
- Optimize points, perks & miles for travel. Track value over the year.
Family:
- Continue to help the boys navigate college
- Monthly dates with M
- Travel:
- Plan & have two fantastic international trips - New Zealand & Greece
- Plan a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park
- Go on four local hiking trips
- Plan a trip to Hawaii with M, the boys & my parents
Fitness:
- Lose 10 lbs
- Strength train 125 days
- No S diet 125 days
- Average 12,000 steps/day
- Try a new workout
Personal:
- Practice Spanish 100 times
- Declutter 500 items from the house
- Take a college class or art class
- Get together with friends
- Try something new & uncomfortable
- Say yes to more adventures
- Get to know our neighbors better
- Host at least 4 events at our house
- Master a complex cooking technique, or at least one difficult recipe
- Offer to have 2 networking chats with new grads
What about you? Have you thought about 2026 goals? If so, what's on your list that you hope to accomplish?
Get the septic tank, water lines, and electrical lines installed on the farm$$$$. Fly out west to visit family and visit former in laws in Florida. Maintain weight and keep my daily walking routine. Your year goals sound fun in regards to traveling!!! Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of work on the house! I think it's awesome that you have your walking routine locked down. Well done. - HP
DeleteI haven't really thought about goals for next year as of yet. I do hope that we are able to take a river cruise in Europe at some point next year and will be looking for the best trip for our cash expenditure.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That is a fabulous goal, Jackie! I will live vicariously through you on that, because it sounds wonderful. - HP
DeleteI would like to invest in a bigger freezer, continue to clean up the hoard after my parents deaths, do some more yard work and gardening and lose the last of the weight I need to lose. I hope you meet all of your goals for 2026.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting across so much great stuff, with the cleaning up after your parents passing, losing weight & gardening! Well done. - HP
