We are getting real close to 2023. I've been reflecting on what I want to do in the new year. I don't like resolutions, maybe that's cliché. I prefer to think in the terms of goals, what do I want to accomplish by when. This is a social work blog so of course the goals should be SMART.
I seem to always have the notion that I want to save money in the new year. While I do have a very small savings started, it seems that I can always find a reason not to save. I've tried those 52 week challenges before and they start off well, but quickly seem unmanageable. One week you put save $15 dollars and the next week you're expected to save $150. I've been searching for a more manageable challenge and I think I found one. Unfortunately I can't give credit to whoever developed it because I don't remember where I saw it.
This is not the exact version of what I saw because I made this on Word, but it will be my guide to trying to save $1378.00 in 2023.
Another intention I have had for some time now is to drink more water. While I can say on average I do drink more water than I have had in my younger years, I am not drinking enough water consistently. I purchased this bottle which one of my colleagues refers to as an "accountability bottle".
