I did finish off a French grammar workbook today, and this week I’ve also worked through the last of a box of origami paper, finished two books and a scarf for myself. This is definitely the sort of progress I was hoping for when I started this goal! Each little one doesn’t feel like a whole lot, but together they’ll add up nicely at the end of the year.

How I did it: There are lots of groups out there that accept items, so find a cause you believe in and check out their requirements before you make things and send them in. Don't send a charity something that won't be useful to them -- that's not helping, that's dumping a problem on some poor volunteer. There are so many charities and so much need out there, you're sure to find something good. Read how I did it…
How I did it: When you get one, go ahead and stock up on supplies right then. Since it's discontinued, you'll want to have enough for your projects! I found more stuff on ebay and through links from other people's tutorials. Read how I did it…
I just finished the last remaining problem set in the workbook I’ve been plodding through. Yes! I am done! It only took seven months…
I still have a whole shelf of those guys, but I’m going to take a break and then pick up a smaller one and start over. I have two workbooks for kids in CM2 and I think I’ll take up one of those next.
I’ve been thinking about it and “use what I have” is my new, overarching resolution. I need to put the things that I have (skills, talents and actual objects lying around the house) to good use. For me, this goal encompasses everything from making sure that I do the best job I can at work to plowing through my to-read pile…
