Please set me some goals for 2020

I'm 32. Been married for 10 years, one DS (15 months) and we have just started TTC. I work 3 days a week as a secondary school teacher having stepped down from middle management after i returned to work from mat leave.
Most people would say I am very on top of things. Xmas I reckon I had about 60 gifts to sort. House is usually tidy though that slips if we let it. I run 2/3 times a week. I read infrequently but when I do I read a book in 2-3 days.
I'm a reasonable cook and baker.
I cant do anything crafty apart from a crosstitch I did for DS before he was born and i can produce an ok drawing.
My grasp on finances, organisation and household management is shocking. I couldn't tell u who my car insurance is with without looking it up. I dont understand how pensions work. I missed my dads birthday today.
I'm reasonably intelligent and have an interest in the world but there are lots of gaps.

I want to be a better more interesting person who doesnt spend most of their time checking their phone and being on MN.

So. My life in your hands. Please set me some goals for 2020. And maybe we can set some for others too!?

Are you happy?
I see people setting resolutions to fix something that either makes them unhappy or they think is a fix all.
Does it bother you that you aren't crafty?
Do you want to improve on a current skill?
Do you care if you miss birthdays?

That's a really interesting question. I think I 'should' myself a lot. I should do x, y and z.

I'd like a hobby something for me, and I'd like to spend less time on my phone. DS is a joy but I just get so damned bored walking round after him!

I like the two questions, what do I want to do right now, what do I need to do right now. Parents of young children are generally time short, whether working or not, so start by savouring every cup of tea. Go easy on the shoulds. I genuinely think it took me several years to recover from the preschool years - I just sat on the sofa in a dazed state.
