Resolution check-in 2025

Every year, I give myself a bunch of resolutions, then never look at them again, and I check back at the end of the year to see if I just magically did any of them. Here's this year's:



10) Continue to do one small thing a day to make the world better, to resist, to provide a little kindness, to help where I can. 

I will give myself this one, even though I fell way off these past couple of months due to personal upheaval. I did many many small things, and will continue to. 1

9) Work out four times a week when able.

Yes. 1

8) Read 12 books.

No, again! I can never get to 12! This year, I read 10 books. AGAIN 0


7) Push up challenge (1 added on each day).

HAHAHA, I think I got to like 32 pushups and stopped this nonsense. 0

6) Drink 8 glasses of water a day.

No. 0

5) Get and keep the house clean.

I did this. I deep cleaned it throughout most of the first six months of the year, and then I hired house cleaning help to help me keep it that way. Which is cheating, but still. It doesn't say IIIII have to do it. 1

4) Fix three things about the house.

Hmm, I think the only thing I fixed about the house this year was the garage door, and that's because it broke. 0

3) Maintain a number of healthy friendships beyond work and family. Re-ignite at least three friendships I have let slide.

Half point. I'm trying to keep up with a few people. Re-ignite is a strong word. .5

2) Continue to work on the deep-seated issues that prevent me from being a firm, steady rock, authoritative but kind, that my family needs.

I did this. But some other stuff came up so 1

1) Take some time every day to be centered. Stretching, meditation, rest with no outside stimulus, Chill Zone at gym, whatever.

No. 0

TOTAL: 4.5/10

Kids:

5) Firm boundaries and consequences for 75 percent of negative interactions, at least.

Half point. I actually stepped back and let life hand them the firm boundaries and consequences, but that worked in its way. .5

4) Enforce new chore schedule, ready them for adult responsibilities.

No. 0

3) Work out how licenses and cars are going to go, and stick to it.

Yes. 1

2) Get the girls dual enrolled, and SAT tested. Help them with college stuff.

Yes, but there are hiccups. 1

1) Keep an open line of communication and honesty to the best of my ability.

Yeah, I tried hard. 1


TOTAL: 3.5/5
