March

Goal for this month: Keep a Tidy Home

To do this month:

• Clean 10 minutes every weekday
• Clean 30 minutes every weekend
• Drink at least two full water bottles a day
• Update the blog at least twice a month

Day 1 and 2: And just like that, my Dream Life Project has officially begun! I suppose it makes sense that I began the project cleaning as this whole project is about cleaning my life. On a less metaphorical note, I just moved to a new apartment, so I’ve spent the past few days cleaning regardless. (The people who lived here before me were not the cleanest, and they definitely smoked indoors. Side note: if anyone has any tips for getting stale cigarette smell out of the corners of the house, I’m all ears.)

I began my new job today and while I’m very excited, I’m also very tired. I did not leave my last job on the best of terms with my employers (more on that once the labor board makes a ruling regarding my case…) so I’m managing that stress along with the nervousness of a new workplace. This Dream Life Project is something I’m looking forward to, but am also feeling a little anxious about. I know that I have it in me to achieve my goals and do what I set out to do, but will I actually do it?

Anyway, I have the whole rest of this year to wonder and worry. Why get it all out now?
