fuzzyred | March Goal Review

I'm a little late this time, but here is the goal review for the month of March. Behind a cut again since it's likely to be just as long as the others.

Goals Finished in March:
--Knit mittens for Dad. This was supposed to be done in February, but I finally got the mittens done around mid-March and my dad really liked them, so I'm pleased with that.

--Use at least one ball of yarn. I made myself a shawl with my purple/pink/grey "soft & shiny" yarn. I'm super thrilled with how it turned out and it went even quicker than I expected. I still want to use more yarn, and I have the socks I need to knit, but this goal is done!

Goals in Progress:
--I didn't miss any days of Duolingo in March, and I'm making decent progress on leveling up the courses I'm working on.

--Skipping 4 times a week. I was only late 1 day and missed none, so I'm happy with this progress.

--Yoga every Sunday. No days missed, yay! I also did one practise without a video, and I'm learning more about what feels okay for me and what doesn't, so this was a good month for yoga.

--Dishes twice a week. No days missed, but I was late twice. This is less than last month though so I'm okay with that.

--Posting Thursdays and Sundays. No days missed here!

--Personal goals: no days missed and only one delay, so that's not bad.

--Savings and charity: no days missed!

--Read one book a month. I read three books in March, so I'm still ahead on my book goal, which makes me really happy. This included one book that wasn't my usual style but was still okay, but I learned that spy books might not necessarily be something I enjoy.

--Answer 5 comments on Saturday and Sunday. I technically missed 2 days here and didn't necessarily make them up, but there was never a weekend day where I was over 5 comments in my inbox, so this is still way better than I've done in the past. I also answered some comments during the week, so that balances a few things out too.

--Play flute once a month. I played in March, for a friend, so this goal got met too.

--Make a set of Christmas ornaments. I think I made 5 or 6 ornaments in March, so I'm about halfway through the planned amount. This makes me happy because it means there is less chance of me having to binge at the end of the year to get them all done.

--Updates for Ysabet. I'm not keeping full track of this one yet, but I do believe I manage two entries a day (or the equivalent) for the month of March, so I think I'm starting to hit my stride with this goal. Right now I'm just stock piling entries until I receive edits on the finished ones and can post more for review.

Unstarted Goals:
(I'm going to try to list these by which ones are going to come of first, or that I want to tackle next)

--Weights once a week starting in April. Since I'm writing this review in April, I actually have started this goal and so far I think I have a routine that will work.

--Water the garden daily, weed weekly. This one starts in May and goes until September.

--Finish the upstairs puzzle. This was supposed to be done by February but it wasn't so it's at the top of my list now.

--Finish the diamond painting by end of June. I want to start on this one so that I don't end up having to binge it last minute.

--Participate in at least three bingo fests. And I also have to remember to get everything ready to run the May bingo fest.

--Rollerblade once a month from May - September.

--Try to make plarn (and use it).

--Start a puzzle in July.

--Find a quilt pattern I like. This one I should start paying attention to now, because the fabric store might be having a sale on material this month and it would be a good time to acquire supplies, even if making the actual quilt doesn't happen yet.

--I also want to make another project with yarn I own, but I'm not sure what yet, and I have a lot of other things to focus on first.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with my progress so far. It's not perfect, but then I wasn't expecting that, and any steps towards improving are good in my opinion. Do you have any goals that you are working on? Did you have some but then abandon them? Do you have any that on pause for the moment? Or are goals something that don't work well for you and so you do something else? Whatever you may be working on, I hope it's going well!
