Happy New Year! As is my custom, this post lays out goals for the year. The goals themselves are in italics, with explanation following in regular font.
Spiritual
- Be disciplined in reading/prayer routines (and reduce putzing).
- Do devotionals with the family twice a week.
- Serve better, but in fewer roles.
- Serve better, but in fewer roles.
- Focus more on others. Figure out balance with competing needs.
I fritter away too much time by 'putzing' (meaning a few minutes web surfing here, a few minutes playing a game there, etc.). In 2025, I want to minimize that and replace it with better routines. A subgoal here is devotionals (books broken into daily readings): I have three I want to read personally in 2025, plus one I want to do with the family.
I am also stretched too thin right now, and there are some big changes coming for my work and my wife's. So I need to step back in a few areas so we can manage everything in a way that glorifies God and blesses others. I don't know what that looks like, but some things need to change.
Nutritional/Fitness
- Get (and keep) weight under 185 lbs.

Nutritional/Fitness
- Get (and keep) weight under 185 lbs.
- Eat more fruit/vegetables. Eat out less.
- Improve gut health.
- Complete 270 workouts; bike 1200 miles.
I want to lose 5-7 lbs, eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, figure out what is going on with my gut, and keep working out consistently. I would love to bike 1200 miles this year.

Reading
- Read 50 books.
- Read 15 works at my American Reading List.
- Minimize my owned-but-unread pile
I've done 50+ books the last few years, and this should be easily reached. My American Reading List is 200 books; I'm about a third done and aim to read 15 more this year. And it is always good to not let unread books accumulate in the home.
Household Management
- Minimize stuff in the home.
- Read 50 books.
- Read 15 works at my American Reading List.

Household Management
- Minimize stuff in the home.
- Figure out ideal home organization.
- Buy less/budget better.
I get stressed with all the clutter around the house. I want to find a way to minimize it and keep it out of sight. Part of that is home organization; we have a few areas that we want to re-work to improve their appearance and utility. And buying less is always wise.
---
The goals above are not earth-shaking . . . I should be able to hit all of these. To 2025!
