For this week’s Fit Five Friday we’re talking about 5 things you want to accomplish this year. Since I’ve already shared my Fitness Goals for 2024, I thought I’d share some other goals I’m hoping to check the box on this year.
Five Things I Want to Accomplish in 2024
Turn our renovation into a home — I have mentioned our ongoing renovation so it should come as no surprise that top of my list is not only completing the renovation but also making the new space feel like home. I can’t wait to see the construction completed and to spend time turning the new space into a cozy home.
Read more — I love reading and it took more of a backseat than I would have liked last year. So the goal for this year is to read a minimum of 24 books.
Redesign my garden — Time in my garden is a gift to myself! Come Springtime, with all of the construction done, it will be time to re-imagine the gardens around the house. I love that for Christmas, family members gifted me with gift cards to my favorite nursery and I can’t to put those cards to use and create a new design and spend time in the dirt!
Need to re-think where the roses will go
More connection — My work-life balance was often out of whack last year and sometimes I missed opportunities to spend time with friends. This year I want to make spending time with friends a key goal. Dinners, brunch, cocktails, or a run, walk, or just a gab session – my goal is to spend time with friends at least 3x’s a month this year.
Better Self-Care — Better is my word for 2024 and when it first came to mind, better self-care was top of mind. I want to do a better job of not short-changing myself. It’s very easy to let yourself slip to the bottom of your to-do list as you focus on taking care of everyone and everything else. I will remember to prioritize my self-care this year.
What are you looking to accomplish in 2024?

These are great goals for the year! Spending time with family and friends is definitely a priority for me. I’m so glad we were able to spend some quality time together last summer!!!
Me too Wendy – I really hope we can find a chance to catch up again soon!
I love your goals, and I think they go together well — I am sure you will settle in quickly when the reno is done and then you can have friends over and enjoy time reading in your backyard. 🙂
I’m really looking forward to seeing the project all come together!
As everyone else said, these are great goals.
I need to do more reno but it is so expensive and time consuming that I hesitate. We do need stuff… our house is getting OLD.
We all need more time for self-care. I intend to see my chiro once a month but I wait until I really need her. I do prioritize my hair and nails.
And I try to stay connected with my friends again time!! I do hope you meet-up with more bloggers…
Taking on a renovation is time consuming. Our house is over 120 years old so every time we open a wall it’s full of surprises lol!
I would love to do some more blogger meet ups this year.
I can’t wait to see how your renovation ends up!
It feels like reading more is on everyone’s list!
I love to read and didn’t do nearly enough of it last year – time to change that!
Love these Michelle. I know how it feels too to get one thing done in the house and want to make it “yours”. We did our garden already and what an amazing transformation. Up next is OUR kitchen haha! It feels good to really sort that stuff out. Love that you want to connect more with others AND make sure your self-care is a priority. You’ve got this!
I love that you’re planning to re-make your kitchen! Are you planning a significant renovation? It can be stressful, but so worth it! Can’t wait to hear more about your plans.
Taking care of ourselves is very important. We are also a priority as well. Here’s to 2024!
Yes! I think it’s so easy for us to overlook our needs in favor of taking care of others. We need to mkae ourselves a priority!
