How I Did On My 2016 Resolutions

Here’s the resolutions I set for 2016. I highlighted in Green if I actually accomplished it, Orange if I worked on it, and Red if I didn’t do it.

Review all the books I’ve read. I didn’t do all of them, but I really focused on reviews and I hope I can finish this project this year.
SEO all of my book reviews. I got about halfway done at the writing retreat. It’s been making a difference in my traffic so yay!
Write more discussion posts. I wrote a few but I mostly wrote book reviews. That’s ok with me.
Have reading lists posts.
Reply to all comments.
Find new blogs to follow.
Write new release posts. I switched my focus to Instagram as well this year so while I didn’t do these things on my blog, I did do them on Instagram.

Read a 1000+ page book. Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Read with a candle. I also journal while I burn one too :) I love candles!
Get back into the routine of reading a classic then a YA then a classic then a YA etc. I did read some classics last year, but not as many as I’d like.
Read nutrition books. I read two. I read some better ones in 2017 so far just in January.

Write in my journal every Sunday. I’m trying to write in my journal daily this year.
Be on time to church
Go to the temple once a month

Have a Harry Potter party. Not only did we have a fun party to watch the movies, we also ended up having a birthday party as well :)
Continue small holiday traditions. I got kinda lazy doing this. I’m going to try doing some fun things this year.
Do chores and homework with them after dinner.
Family day every Saturday. It actually changed to Sunday, but we play board games together almost every week.
Give them space.

Quiet time. It got hard to do this towards the end of the year, but I would go out almost once a week to blog or shop.
Get out of debt. Still working on it, but we made great progress!
Try writing. I did try it. Not for me right now. My blog and journal are the kind of writing that make me happy right now.
Date night every week. It’s hard to find the time, but I’m going to try to get more dates in this year.
