- Start and stick to my daily planner as much as possible, and tweak where necessary - started with this. And tweaked where I could but didn't really stick to it. My challenge came when my things would change quickly.
- Write out (not necessarily here) and stick to as much as possible a daily to-do-list to help with achieving these goals, help with the planner and manage my time. This I did very well at for both November and December. I wrote down every day just before leaving work what I wanted to do when I got home. Some days I didn't do it and was just lazy ("lazy days" as I called them) but I found if I wrote a goal list for the night I found it easier to achieve. Its amazing how the little things help sometimes.
- Cut 20% from the food budget. We have stocked piled a lot of food stuff in our house, so we are going to cut back the grocery/food budget for the next month and eat some of the food we have in the cupboard. Trying to only purchase things like fresh food, items we need (re baking etc) and really good deals with coupons. The money save will go toward debt payment. For the most part I did this. I cut the 20% from the food budget for both months and put that money into debt repayment. We used out stock pile but twice me and the BF headed to the states for some shopping deals (right before thanksgiving and then two weeks before Christmas) we got some great deals on food and have out stock pile back
- Drop the phone bill debt at least 50% - this was done. In fact as of today the phone bill debt is completely paid off.. yeah
- Get back into crafting and start making stuff for accessories and friends - did that in November but stopped in December as I didn't really seem to have time. Going to start that again in the new year
- Put $20 from my allowance a week away to go towards my theatre stuff, whether costumes, resources or classes. - this except for the week of Christmas and New Year. AND I managed to have money handy when I had to make a costume for a show.. it was great cause I wasn't borrowing money from anywhere. So keeping this up in the new year.
- Put $10 my allowance a week away to go towards a class in December such as belly dancing, zumba or that self defence class or creative writing class I have been eying. And again did the same except for the week of Christmas and New Year. My BF going me a pass for Zumba for Christmas so I many save this money (and continue putting in) for next semester and take a creative writing class.
Before I get into my goal/resolutions for 2012 I wanted to recap on the goals I had in November, how I did and whether I continued on for the month of December. Remember December was a rough month for me so I didn't have any goals for December. Well not true. I just carried these on for the month and will start fresh for 2012. Anyway... So my goals for November are as follows
