Twenty for 2020

Yvonne at Quilting Jet Girl came up with a linky party for twenty goals for 2020. This is my totally unrealistic left-brain list in no particular order.
  1. Stitch for 20 minutes a day 5x a week
  2. Morrell 20 more blocks
  3. Lose 20 lbs
  4. 20 machine quilting goals
  5. Write 20 more chapters for Sister
  6. Begin hand quilting BTCT
  7. Write for 20 minutes a day 3x a week
  8. Work on 20 different quilts.  
  9. Read 20 books 
  10. Turn computer off for 20 minutes a day
  11. Spend 20 minutes quiet time with God
  12. Complete 20 units on the doctorate
  13. Waterfit 20 minutes 2x a week
  14. Stretching 20 minutes a day
  15. Bike 20 minutes 2x a week
  16. Treadmill 20 minutes 2x a week
  17. Bright Jane 20 more blocks
  18. Publish SMOWJ
  19. Publish Sister
  20. Write dissertation 
I will probably have to get a bit more organized than I am right now.
Blessings,
Chris

    1. In 2019 I did traction for 20 minutes a day with a 45 degree foam wedge behind my neck and my spine has straighten, the arthritic pain in my hands has mostly gone away, AND my eyesight improved enough that I had to get weaker glasses to read. Twenty minutes can make a lot of difference.

  3. Good luck with your goals, Chris! 20 minutes seems like a doable length of time for each thing :)

    1. Twenty minutes a day is doable until I list 20 things for 20 minutes and that adds up to 400 minutes a day or 6 1/2 hours give or take 20 minute.

    1. Oh no! The pressure is on!!! Actually accountability is something I could use. You know, like paying the taxes on time or handing in a major research paper on time.

  6. All sound wonderful. I also like that you used "20" in all of your goals.

  7. Your 20 minute/day goals are interesting, but without the time or multiple limits would be overwhelming. You really can get a lot done if you have your materials ready to go. A dear friend, now passed, once told her friends that she was able to get so much quilting done because she sewed EVERY day, even if just for 10 or 15 minutes. It works - I tried it.

  8. You can achieve a lot in 20 minutes if focused. Good luck with it.

  9. Wow.... that is quite a list. I think I'll just try and do 20 minutes of something with a needle each day! Although... I need to drop the 20 pounds as well =)

  11. I love how you mapped out everything to a "20" goal - it gives you a clear picture of what you want to achieve! Good luck with all of your goals for 2020!

  13. It's great to get things down on paper, believe me! So even if you don't make all 20 of your goals, I'm betting you'll make a great many of them. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.

  14. Your free-form just putting it all out there style has actually inspired me! I'm working up my nerve to do the same thing, lol. Good luck!

  15. Now, THAT is a list I can get into. Good luck with yours. And thanks for the inspiration!

  16. Good for you to come up with 20 goals. I've made smaller goals in the past and only accomplished a few of them... because I'm a raccoon -- ooh shiny new quilt idea... must start. I'm sure you'll make great strides toward all of these goals.

  17. These are great goals - and I love how you incorporated the 20 theme into it. I wish you the best with all of your goals. They are aspirational and inspirational.

  18. A like your clever approach. I'm sure the sewing helps with all the "book work". ENJOY!!

  19. A very clever left-brain list. I hope you get a lot of satisfaction from pursuing these outcomes regardless of whether you do them all or not. :)
