This weekend, I used to be feeling a bit down and anxious concerning the lack of progress over the previous few days. Sure, the ground in the main bedroom suite is getting sanded, however that course of has gone slower than I had anticipated. But when all goes as deliberate, it needs to be accomplished at this time. That implies that by the tip of the day, employees might be out of our home and the mission might be utterly in my palms from right here on out. That second can’t come fast sufficient.
So I made a decision to look again over my list of 2025 home goals and see simply how a lot I’ve gotten accomplished, and the way a lot I nonetheless need to do. This was an excellent time for it as a result of we’re simply coming into March, which suggests we’re now 1/sixth of the way in which via the 12 months. I’ve ten extra months to knock off as most of the gadgets on my 2025 record as potential.
I used to be very inspired by trying again over my record and checking off the gadgets which were accomplished. I feel it was in 2023 that I did these “progress report” posts on a month-to-month foundation to maintain myself centered. It was really an excellent encouragement and accountability for me. I received’t be doing them month-to-month this 12 months, however I would do it each two months or so to maintain myself accountable and motivated.
Because it seems, I’ve gotten rather a lot accomplished within the first two months of 2025! It doesn’t appear to be I’ve gotten lots accomplished just because a lot of the work thus far hasn’t been accomplished within the bed room suite. And let’s face it. The bed room suite is the mission that every one of us need to see accomplished, proper? The bed room suite is and would be the “major occasion” of 2025. However it’s removed from the one factor on my 2025 record. In order a evaluate and a two-month progress report, right here’s what I’ve accomplished thus far in 2025.
And I constructed the steps to the entrance door of the workshop.
And whereas this wasn’t on my authentic record for the 12 months, I had some much-needed gutters put in on the workshop.
I had hardwood flooring put in all through the bed room suite. This wasn’t a DIY mission, but it surely’s progress!
And whereas it’s not fairly completed, so I can’t really test it off of the record but, the flooring are getting sanded now and can (hopefully) be accomplished by the tip of at this time.
And whereas this wasn’t a person line merchandise on my authentic record, I additionally received all the drywall repairs completed within the walk-in closet/laundry room, received the partitions primed, and selected a colour for the closet cupboards. FYI, I’m going with Clear Vista on the left. I would find yourself having it blended at 75%. We’ll see. However the drywall restore and priming was a fairly large mission on this room that wanted to be accomplished, so I added it to the record simply so I may cross it off. 😀
I had added that line merchandise to the record for the bed room as a result of that’s going to be an excellent greater job getting all of that drywall repaired and primed and prepared for wallpaper and wainscoting.
I had positively hoped to be additional alongside on the bed room suite by now, so I do really feel like I’m slightly behind the schedule that I had deliberate in my head. But in addition, I are usually a bit overzealous and unreasonable with regards to timelines. My Marvel Lady syndrome typically leads me to imagine that I can get much more accomplished in a time period than is definitely potential. In actuality, I feel I’m off to a reasonably good begin on my record for the primary two months! We’ll test again in the beginning of Could and see how these subsequent two months go.
