18 for 2018 Check-in
Updated: Aug 23, 2018
At the start of the year, I decided to forgo new years resolutions for Gretchen Rubin's 18 in 2018 challenge. My answer to the question: "What could I do in 2018 that would make me happier?"
As we near the summer, I wanted to do a quick reflection on my progress:
This process was much harder than anticipated. Many items required multiple steps that took hours each.
I'd estimate that over half of these would not have happened had I not made this list.
I've struggled most with the ones that require something to be done monthly versus one-off.
Next time I'd suggest sandbagging with a few 'quick wins' to gain momentum.
I'm totally doing this again next year.
Did you miss this? You can also do one starting on your birthday or even a 10 Things to Do This Summer List. Get creative!
To hold myself accountable, here is a quick check-in on my progress:

Build an inspiration board above my desk - DONE
