January Goal: practice the piano more often
I’ve mostly been able to keep up on this, besides a trip for which I forgot to calendial… then the 7 days of buffer let me slack way more than I’d like! Or just the right amount, who knows – it was an emotional, hectic week.
February Goal: eat pastries less often
This has been very helpful in resetting my pastry habits. I’m still getting to enjoy them on occassion, but I find myself choosing to save up buffer more often in situations when I previously would have gotten a pastry “just because.” I’m savoring my pastry-less coffee drinks and appreciating them more. I’m going to keep this up, and I think the rate is about right.
March Goal: meal prep more!
Doing more home cooking and meal prep would be very good for my health and for my budget. I had a bit of a think about how to structure this goal, including reading this very helpful thread! (How to cook more?)
I don’t think I want to do a “meal prep for the whole week on Sunday” with a weekly goal, but I want to encourage planning ahead. I will still make a plan for the week ahead on Sunday, but I don’t want to attach my success too closely to a single day, where if I derail it feels like the whole week is ruined. I’m thinking about setting it up so that I get a +1 for each day I eat 2+ out of 3 planned, home-prepared meals, with a rate of 5/7 days to start.
