2. Go to bed at 10:00 each night and wake up at 6:00 each morning.
Now that I'm exercising after work instead of before, this isn't as important. I'm still aiming for at least getting ready for bed at 10:00 though.
3. Complete my daily chores and leave no dishes in the sink at the end of the day.
I've actually done away with my daily chore schedule in favor of a new method I might blog about later. It's working so far. I've also done well with the dishes, thanks to a lot of help from Nathan.4. Spend less than $200 a budget period on food (groceries and eating out).
That didn't happen. I knew it was a lofty goal when I set it; the point was to spend much less than the $300 we had been spending, which we have done.5. Write at least 2 blog posts a week.
I almost made it, but other activities took priority last week and I only published one post. I'm hoping to up this slightly over the next two months so I can make 100 posts for the year (this is #79).
I'm actually starting to feel like I have some balance in my life! Who thinks I should have a baby now to throw off everything? :-)
have a baby!!!! dooooo it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably not the best influence.
@Jen Ha. I forgot I'd thrown the baby thing in there until I saw this comment. Thanks for your vote. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe used to spend $300 on groceries alone. And an additional $100 on eating out. Now it's more like $225-250 on groceries and $50 eating out. I am sticking with that ; )
ReplyDelete@Newlyweds on a Budget Wow, that's an impressive cutback, especially cutting eating out in half. And that's a really low figure too since cost of living is probably much higher where you live!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a daily chore list, too!
ReplyDeleteI can always trim my food budget as well. I'm going to work on it and see what I can do this month!
