What's on your 2023 to do list?

[nopenoidea]

There's a few things I'd like to achieve such as

• start my new job in Feb
• save money for rainy days / holidays
• loose 3 stone ( work in progress for years unfortunately)
• go on a few mini breaks with DH
• new floor in living room
• get design ideas for extension (won't be able to afford this until 2024 but keeping the dream alive )
• make healthy foods
•try and do an hour of housework each night
• walk more
• meet friends more often

That's some of the silly things I have in my head for next year. Have you any ideas/ plans/ wish lists

Simply to travel more. I feel like my life has been on hold for the past 2 years due to long covid. Prior to that we put all our money into our house. Ill health makes you reconsider whats important. I need some more adventures before I'm too old

Hoping to plan a couple of short breaks, maybe one in the UK and one European city break.

We’re planning a ‘big’ holiday in 2024 but I need something to look forward to next year, as so far we have absolutely no plans for 2023 at all, not even any events/gigs etc!

Travel
Remodel the kitchen
Have more fun!

Sort my shit out. Financially, mentally, physically…all of it.

travel more and look after my health

New country, new job

Travel more, before any ill-health cuts in to stop me.

Focus and up my income dramatically.

I'm self employed and have ADHD (undiagnosed but agreed by GP, there's not diagnosis pathway in my county and can't afford a private assessment so I'm kind of in limbo), if I just do the fucking work I could bring in over 2.5k a month working 30 hours a week (net), I've known this for ages, but I just can't seem to make myself go down to work!!

At the end of October my gran gave me 5k of my inheritance (I didn't know I was getting any!), and it's opened my eyes to how life could be, we had a good Christmas, I fixed my car, I done the food shopping without a budget! Its been lovely.

But it's all gone now, which is fine we have a roadworthy car again and Christmas was absolutely worth it, but I want to have enough income not to worry all the time. Having that for a couple of months seems to have given me a kick up the arse as I've been focused this week, so I'm starting the new year as I mean to go on, with lots of stock after a good week of work

Lose 1 or 2 st
Be more positive.
Go to bed at a reasonable hour!

" but I want to have enough income not to worry all the time"

I mean I want to have that income all the time, I don't actually worry all the time, more the occasional bout of anxiety 🤣

Lose some weight- no target as such just want to be healthier. Eat less, move more!

Get some work done in the house- for example we've been here 13 years and have never decorated our bedroom!

Quite a few are the same as your list, OP!

Definitely need to replace our living room floor!

The big one for me is to run a marathon. I've signed up. I've got a training plan. I've got running buddies. I just need to get going!

Save for a house. I'm 41 and sick of renting. Lose weight.

Lose 6st (wish me luck)
Get my garden done
Finish my degree
Start another degree or a masters haven't decided yet but instead of doing work I'm here on MN
Travel the uk a bit more
Try and learn a new skill - thinking cooking properly as it'll help with weight loss

Lose 2 stone
Save more money

eat better. That’s a big one.

id like to redecorate downstairs too but that’s inconsequential really.

@SortinMyMH mine is exactly same as yours 🥰

To have a lens implant. Already had one eye done. Now would like to get rid of the other contact lens.

Do some strength training
Stay in my home town with various friends and relatives for a month if possible.
Look for a third voluntary job.

Odd question, but do you need glasses at all after?

Would so love to be rid of reading glasses

I want to go teetotal for a little while.

alcohol is a bad habit for me now. I want to see what life is like without it for a little while. But my (already meagre) social life is all founded around it so I have absolutely no idea how to go about it.

Depends what strength you have. I chose to have the lens implant for distance vision. When I have my second one done I won’t have it corrected to perfection but for close work. I’ve always had this arrangement with my contact lenses as it gives me the best of both worlds.

Definitely need a better sleep pattern.
