fuzzyredI have a good feeling about April. It was a good month and I think I made good progress on things. For a closer look at how I did, check behind the cut.
Yearly Goals
-On Duolingo, complete 15 units in German, 5 Gold units in Polish, and 5 Gold units in Hawaiian
--I completed a few more German Units.
-Practice German on weekdays and practice French, Esperanto, Polish, and Hawaiian on the weekend
--I've been practicing daily, although some weekends I've continued with German instead of the other languages, mainly out of habit.
-Do yoga every day except Mondays
--Only two days missed in April! This is a great improvement over last month.
-Do dishes Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays
--Five out of thirteen misses here. Not ideal, but I believe it's an improvement over last month, which is good.
-Post 2nd and 4th Thursdays; make the Comfort Corner posts on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.
--Success on all posts this month!
-$X/week in savings
--Done in April.
-Donate to charity monthly
--Done for April.
-Practice flute twice a month
--Success! I played songs out of my Women of Pop book, although my second practice session was admittedly a bit rushed.
-Go to a "Dark Sky Night" at Point Peelee
--Not quite time for this one yet. This will likely end up being a summer event.
-Use my Christmas gifts
--No new ones used in April.
-Mark tasks daily
--After a disastrous March, April has gone much better. Originally, I was a bit concerned, because April wasn't pre-marked on the calendar, but I've found something that is working decently for me so far. We'll see if this success continues in May.
-Review goal progress for each month
--April's goal review is very timely, which is good but unusual.
April - June
-Read 5 books
--Two books completed so far, "Wild Heat" and "Aetherbound." I enjoyed both of them and I am also enjoying the third book I started.
-Water plants daily
--It has been rainy and cool enough that I haven't started watering yet.
-Weed the garden once a week
--I didn't manage to weed early in the month, but I have gone out and done the first weeding of the season, which is a start.
-Take one walk a week
--Success!
-Cook twice a week
--I was not able to do this for April. I will try again in May, but I'm not sure how it will go.
-Take a "me" day on the 2nd Sundays
--This one got a little lost in April because it was a busy month, but I did still manage to get some relaxation in.
-Medium coffee or smaller only, 4 coffees a week
--I did much better in April than I did in March. Two large coffees, one weekend coffee, and one day with two medium coffees. Sadly, three out of four of those things happened in the same week, but happily, I was able to get back on track for the rest of the month.
-Finish baby blanket (April)
--The blanket has been completed! I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and that I finished it after it sat for so long.
All in all, April went very well. I made improvements in a lot of areas and I got my specific April goals done as well, with enough time to start some new projects. I hope I can continue the momentum in May, especially in regards to the monthly goals. See you all next month!
