That time o' year...

Once again! It's the time of year to set myself expectations that are far too high. The problem I find myself having is not wanting to spend the time "executing" my plans. This coming year's great and powerful goals are:
1. Create a cooking VLOG with my buddy ol' pal - Courtney.
2. Learn piano.
3. Run a marathon (12 months to train!)
4. Spend 5 minutes a day focusing on being happy.
5. Do some traveling around NZ

1. I have the friend acquired. I also have a kitchen, a webcam, internet access and a rudimentary knowledge of how cooking works. Just need to start scheduling (once again with the time portion of the equation).

2. My keyboard is within easy reach. I'll probably need a teacher for this one. And money for the teacher.

3. I've already started the prep work. I can totally run 1 mile non-stop right now! That means if I add 2 miles per month for the next 12 months I will still not be 100% ready. Gah!

4. This one is my hardest to plan out. My thoughts are to start with decluttering as step 1 in the happiness process. I have a quadrazillion papers that just need putting away and yet wind up being strewn across the floor. This makes me not happy. Ergo, ipso facto, tiddlywinks - picking this up will be one step towards happiness. I'll have mini-goals that I'm going to work into accomplishing with the happiness thing.

5. This needs to be sooner rather than later on account of it being the nice-weather season now. Although heading down south for some snow would be maybe nice.
