Goals

My goals for this projects are, mostly, to simplify my life and my environment. I've written about my goals at the beginning of the project, but I'm sure that they will change as I develop, and evolve as I have evolved over time.

My current goals include:

• remove the excess in my home. The clutter on counters, etc, makes me feel overwhelmed visually
• create a schedule for my time. I want to make events move more smoothly. Currently I have no schedule for when I should be doing the things I need to do. If I could create a routine I think there will be less rushing to catch up. This is hard because every day has different expectations, and we have a number of meetings that only occur once a month, so we have to keep track of those as well.
• create financial simplicity. I'd like to eliminate my car payment early, and save up enough money to not need to make payments again in the future. This will be easier if braces are less expensive than my original quote! I have an appointment in January that I'm hoping will answer this question.

As I grow, creating a more minimalist environment and simpler life, I want to use the white space of my life to better enjoy the people in my life and better use the time I have with them. In order to meet this last goal, I will move slowly toward minimalism in order to make the transition easier on my family, not all of whom are comfortable with change.
