To-Do List

From 1st January to 31st December 2012.

My rules

I may make additions to this list, but under no circumstances may I make deletions.
One-off items completed to be marked ~~like this~~ (completion date: details, if any). I got this idea from Heidi's list of Goals for 2010.
Deadline for review of all items is the 31st December 2012.

Look after my mom, my niece, my dogs, my family, my friends, and myself.
Practice my spirituality.
Look after my health.
Reduce my carbon footprint.
Support the charities that make the world a better place.
Remain calm at all times.
Travel a wee bit.
Have somewhere to live.
And something to live in.
Have some kind of income.
Sort out the acre one way or the other; either set it up, or, if Ian's planning permission falls through, sell it.
And most of all, enjoy myself as much as possible.

Pray.
Take a breath before I speak.
Speak only if what I'm going to say is kind, truthful, and necessary.
Meditate for at least five minutes.
Exercise for at least thirty minutes.
Sleep at least eight hours a night.
Go to bed by midnight at least one night a week.

Check my diary every morning.
Make a to-do list every morning.
Actually do the stuff on my to-do list.
Stop swearing.
Have a break where I put my feet up, drink some tea, eat some chocolate, and read or watch something.

Eat vegan.
Buy nothing new, except for food, cleaning products (e.g. soap) and toiletries (e.g. moisturiser), medical items (e.g. medicine, spectacles), essential craft or repair materials, and essential items (e.g. underwear, shoes) that wear out and can't be repaired or bought second-hand.
Get rid of leather products.
Don't buy anything animal-tested.
Continue ALF activities.

Get out more.
Go out at least once a week, preferably on Friday and/or Saturday night each weekend.

Finish tidying, organising, and decluttering all my stuff.
Declutter my jewellery boxes.
Deal with my bags.
- Sell the bags I don't want on eBay.

- Stock my bag sensibly.
Declutter my living space.
- Sort out all the storage boxes in the den.
- Declutter the bookcases.

~~Give the car a good scrub.~~ (15th May)

Check the battery, oil, water, and tyre pressure on the car and put a reminder in my diary.
Put the NCT, tax, and insurance expiry dates in my diary.

Plan A: Go travelling until my brother's planning permission comes through and then get the acre habitable a.s.a.p.
- Have the acre fenced.
- Install a gate.
- Put up a hard standing for vehicles.
- Put up a shed, glasshouse, or other structure on the acre.
- Dig a well.
- Install a water supply.
- Install a sink, toilet, and shower.
- Plant a garden.
- Acquire a yurt or similar structure.
- Sleep in my yurt.
- Get a woodburner.
- Spend 24 hours on the acre.
- Think of a better name for the acre than 'the acre.'
Plan B: If my brother's planning permission doesn't come through, sell the acre, and use the cash to buy a shelter elsewhere.
