The Year of Doing

It is a new year (2016!) and time for the annual reflection and resolution. 2015 was a good year. I got married the incredible Andrew Feldman after near nine years of dating! Other than that, nothing terribly significant. No big trips, not a lot new learned, rather a maintenance year, the kind of year you need to make you realize that you should probably get off your butt and do something with your life…so useful nonetheless. This year I bought a physical planner (Spark Planner), started using a To Do Lost app (Todoist) and set some goals. There are the usual goals, more exercise, more sleep etc. But also I would like to travel someplace completely new and out of my comfort zone and learn something new (a language, basic programing etc). I purchased a few classes from the site Udemy and hope that this will jump start my learning because it is pretty low commitment and I can do it from the comfort of my home. I have the usual feelings of hope and fear that come with the New Year and I think I can use both these things to make this year a year of doing. I’m 30 now which means I am both young enough to make some big changes and old enough to know how to wisely integrate those changes into my daily life. I look forward to chronicling this journey here!
