Things to do in 2021

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions.  I don’t really see the point of them.  This year, however, inspired by an online person who I know in real life, I’ve decided to write myself a list of 21 things I’d like to accomplish in 2021.

  1. Read 50 books this year.
  2. Write someone a letter once a month.
  3. Do at least 20 minutes of exercise each day.
  4. Have an at-home date night with my husband every second Friday (no children allowed!).
  5. Have dinner out with a friend at least six times this year (no children or husbands allowed!).
  6. Have a night away for our 20th wedding anniversary (COVID meant that didn’t happen last year).
  7. Family movie night once a month.
  8. Teach my girls to cook two meals each.
  9. Alcohol-free January.
  10. Complete a senior first aid course.
  11. Write one personal and one work blog post per fortnight.
  12. Plan and take a family holiday.
  13. Get three paid writing jobs.
  14. Write at least six chapters of the novel that’s been in my head for the last two years.
  15. Take each of my kids out to do something fun (just me and that kid) once per month.
  16. Talk to my mum at least once a week.
  17. Start having Sunday brunch all together.
  18. Wait thirty days before buying anything new to make sure I really need it.
  19. Join a book club.
  20. Volunteer in my son’s Prep class each week.
  21. Start a story journal with each of my daughters.

So far, I’m doing pretty well with this.  Let’s see how I’m going by the middle of the year.
