2010 Plans

I’m home sick with the flu, and no television. And while I desperately need to mop, vaccuum, and dust. I only have energy to lay around and think (and maybe type a little). So under the covers here I’m scheming. 2010 is already well underway, but with the big trip and engagement, my everyday life this year is only just beginning.

What will I undertake in 2010? As I cough, sniffle, and moan- I’m calling it my year of health.

I’d like to deal with my finances in a healthier manner. Note to self- it is never to early to start prepping for taxes. I’m closing unnecessary credit accounts and thinking about mergers (aka marriage) and finances. Nothing like a little goal setting and planning.

Another idea I keep mulling over is healthier use of technology and social media. I need to spend more of my non-work time unplugged and get more out of the time I’m spending online outside of work (eg: less constant monitoring and more meaningful connecting). I have already unsubscribed from several mailing lists in an attempt to help myself get rid of the junk mail I often wade through. I am also constantly coming up with blogposts that never get written– so you (hi mom) may see some more posts in an attempt to get these ideas out of my head.

Finally, physically, I’d like to get back into shape. I’d like to have more energy and wear some of those clothes still in the back of my closet. To this end, I am formulating a plan. I’ve joined the YMCA next to work. I’m still a member of Weight Watchers. And I’m reading The Beck Diet Solution which looks at cognitive therapy to adhere to better eating and life changes.

Stay tuned.
