It’s been a busy start to the New Year. It’s only the 10th January but I have the feeling that I have done more in the last 10 days than I did in the whole of December. Which is hardly surprising because my main activities last month were eating and drinking.
Although we had a few smatterings of snow in December, the snow is finally coming down. Perhaps my increased productivity is due to this weather. I don’t feel like going outside so I have been busy doing activities indoors.
Here is a list of what I have done in the past 10 days.
- Stopped eating and drinking as much as I was doing over Christmas in an attempt to lose the weight that I’ve put on;
- Read 5 books (and I’ve almost finished number 6);
- Collected and built a wardrobe that I had ordered;
- Tried some new recipes in the kitchen;
- Had a haircut;
- Packed away all of the Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree – and the corner in the living room still looks empty without it;
- Bought a new TV – our old one decided to give up the ghost on the 5th;
- Started work for preparations for lauching my own travel website later in the year;
- Started learning some coding in Excel;
- Sorted out some clothes and other things to be taken to the recycling centre or to donate;
- Went swimming for the first time in as long as I can remember;
- Had a couple of lunch dates with friends;
- Begun editing a short story that I wrote last year.
Bearing in mind that we were on holiday in Belgium until 3rd January I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself.
If the snow keeps falling and I remain inside, I think this month could be the most productive one on record! I hope you’ve also had a good and productive start to 2019.
