The start of a new year means fully resetting the goal list and starting over. There really wasn’t much of a change in the goal status from the last update, so I’m not doing a separate post of the final status. I did go through them all on my Twitch stream though, if anyone wants a recap of the start vs the end of the year.
Broadly, some goals had to fall by the wayside as more major life changes happened, including starting a new relationship unexpectedly, Reborn moving in, a year of successful therapy doing wonders for my mental health, and adopting Chloe. Said life changes did throw the finances into a serious loop, so big goals include things to try to get that back on track, as well as dealing with my apnea diagnosis, health in general, and of course the house, as always.
I also mostly ditched any goals that have lingered on my list for 2+ years because it’s clear it’s not happening, at least not the way I want. I also did a lot of house goals because of breaking a big goal into smaller, more manageable steps 😀
