Wow, great job comicguy!! I had stopped tracking my progress on here what felt like months ago. I just checked and my last check-in was March!!! Let see where things ended for 2022:

Food - Improve my diet. I'd say this is probably acceptable overall. As the colder weather crept in, and did find myself eating more comfort foods, and with the holidays, starting beginning of December, just ate whatever I felt, honestly! So, didn't end strong but did alright throughout.

Reading - Push the reading with my 4th grader. He has Aspergers and has struggled in this area. I also want to set time aside to finish up books I’m reading as well as read some books out of my usual genres. Personal reading goal of two books per month. I'm not sure where I ended up for my two books per month, but I know I fell short. I know it was more than what I read in 2021 though, so I'm content. We decided our son will switch to home-schooling in the fall and have been doing research and preparing for this. His current teachers agree he does way better when he can have that one on one instruction.

Work - Complete my reports same week as my clients meetings. Keep email inbox organized. The inbox is a constant struggle to keep at or close to zero, but what I have is definitely organized. Work reports all done in a timely manner. Consider this a win.

New skill - I’d like to learn how to refurbish furniture. Yae! I completed a refurbishment this summer, an old clothes dresser.

Save money - We refinanced the house this year, got rid of a few subscriptions, simplified Christmas, and saved money by getting our cruised refunded in full as a result of getting Covid.

All in all, not bad. I'm going to take another stab at this with the new thread for 2023, and hopefully figure out a way to enter progress into my weekly schedule that I'll stick to.
