2015 Resolutions

Resolution #1 – Use

We have SO much. Our pantry is full of half-eaten food, the desk full of gift cards, the bathroom closet full of lotion and product. This year, I resolve to use all of that stuff, before buying new (as much as possible).

Resolution #2 – Re-Use

I have been active on several neighborhood Buy/Sell/Trade boards, even co-founding one for my community. In 2015, I will sell 100 items on those boards (and hopefully not buy 100!)

Resolution #3 – Create

I’m never so happy as when I am making things, even if it is just simple crafts. In 2015, I will do more of that, though I am resisting setting quotas or measurable for it.

Resolution #4 – Frame

Frame our art and hang it — it’s not doing any good sitting in a pile. Print photos and frame them.

Resolution #5 – Enjoy Minnesota

I’m always talking about how much I love living here. In 2015, I will enjoy Minnesota more — some Minnesota travel (maybe ice caves, or even just the cabin), attending various summer festivals (goal of 15), museums and other places.

Resolution #6 – Date

For the third year in a row, I’ll go on a monthly date night with my husband. Best resolution ever.

Resolution #7 – Revive Space

When evaluating how I could serve my clients better, I realized that my workspace(s) need some real help. My home office in particular is messy and cluttered, and I think it saps my work energy to face it. I will make this space (and my on-client sites) better and more productive to work in.

Resolution #8 – Preserve

Do something I consider significant in the historic preservation field. Still determining what that is.

ETA: My husband's resolutions are equally awesome: http://patrickrhone.com/2015/01/01/intentions-for-2015/
