I just did this recently and it was worth it! I feel incredibly organized now and love showing my friends and family all my hard work. I had tons and tons of photos from college and when I studied abroad, but when I committed to this project and actively worked on it each week the task didnt seem so grueling. Now I love that it is finished (5 years worth and 4 books later) and have committed to keeping up with it from now on!

How I did it: I committed to working on my scrapbooks at least once a week or more if time permitted! Initially I felt overwhelmed because I had so many photos to sort through and organize. 5 years worth and I didnt want to leave anything out! But by working on them a little each week I was done in no time! And now I feel 110% more organized and love showing off all my hard work. Read how I did it…

I first determined which half marathon I wanted to run and created a training log. With 2 months to the race day, I had to plan accordingly. I decided typically I should be running 2 or 3 shorter runs a week with a long run once a week (upping the milage as the weeks pr… Read how I did it…
I would love to pay off my student loans early so I can start saving for other things like getting my own place or buying a new car (also on my goals list!) I am trying to save as much as I can right now, but it is hard with other bills and the holidays coming up. But by putting a little aside each week, I should hopefully be able to pay them off within a year!
