The Year Ahead: Looking Forward

2010 Calendar by Pentagram available at Veer

Note: I was originally going to post this about 2 months ago, but lots of things came up. Now that this redesign is up and running, I’ll let it fly.

It’s the time of year when people go posting all sorts of end of the old year/beginning of the new year type stuff on their blogs. Normally I’d resist that sort of thing, but not this time. There’s too much I want to change in 2010.

Driving home from a family Christmas party at my aunt’s, my wife and I began discussing what all we want to accomplish in the upcoming year, by December 2010. We have a few major things we want to accomplish. We agreed that putting them out in the world like this would help us be more motivated to accomplish them.

So without any further ado, here they are.

What we hope December 2010 will look like:

  1. Hope has matched her former income from her old job (before she left to be a full-time mom) with income from lia sophia

  2. Brad’s Chrome47 (freelance) work matching former income from his old job prior to being laid off . Includes wrapping up a few current projects in order to move forward, as well as launching a marketing campaign to generate new business. Sure, this could all change if I land a full-time gig. But with the way the economy has been lately, that might be tough. I’ve been without a full-time job since June 2009.

  3. Brad painting 3 small paintings each week (almost daily) and posting and selling online. This requires a commitment of about 2 hours a day on average.

  4. We have saved up enough for a 10% down payment on a house

Smaller Goals

  • Pay off laptop by March
  • Get oil leak fixed on Honda (January/February)
  • New tires for both cars
  • Keep both cars better-maintained
