Resolutions for 2014

I love making resolutions! I don't just make them on New Year's I love them so much. I don't care that I usually don't keep them, it's never a bad time to resolve to better yourself.

Here are my loftiest resolutions for 2014:

1) Improve time management skills

This will bring about all other resolutions. My biggest setback is poor time management skills. There will still be mostly random times of the day where I have to stop what I'm doing and take care of my baby, whether that's feeding, cleaning, playing or what have you, but the rest of the day I should be able to jot out time to do this and that which will allow me to endeavor the following...

2) Get Organized

I have clutter everywhere. Clutter that's followed me from my childhood home to my first apartment with my husband to our apartment now. There's a lot I can get rid of, and the rest need a home in my home where they can stay and return when I'm done using them.

3)get cleaner

Having a baby necessitates this. She's not crawling around yet but she'll be there before I  know it, so I need to get better at housekeeping. I really need to change my attitude about this. I have so many emotional hangups when it comes to cleaning and decluttering. I wish I could just get hypnotized and have whatever it is in my brain that makes it impossible for me to keep a mountain of clothes and crap to form around me removed or erased, but really I need to just work at it and do the brain rewiring myself. It's like learning a new language. Maybe I can do that too while i'm at it!

4)Exercize and Eat Healthier

I definitely overdid it during this past holiday. A couple years ago a lost around 30 pounds by changing up my diet and starting an exercise regimen. I know it's doable so i'm not stressing so much about it. It all goes back to time management. 

5)Sell My Crochet

people have been telling me for years that I should sell what I make. I think i've finally mustered up the confidence to try!

6)Make More Guilt Free Time for Me

Again, this goes back to time management and cleaning. I'd feel better about crocheting or blogging (or taking a nap) if I'm not thinking "boy, I should really sweep those stairs".


What's NOT on Netflix

This list posted on Reddit has all of the movies and TV shows that are no longer available. I didn't even know so many titles were available to begin with! Netflix needs to promote more of their collection instead of just showing the same titles over and over again as their recommendations.

Lots of luck to all of you in the new year!
