#30 day to do

I've decided to participate on all of the #30daytodo. It's one of the many things that YouTubers are making up to get their followers to be less stationary. One person thought of 30 days of fitness. They got off a stint of eating terribly and felt "squishy." In response they decided they would eat healthy and exercise while inviting their followers to do the same. Then there is another person who wanted to do September Smash. Basically they wanted to limit their sugar intake and also be more active throughout September. Yet another content creator decided to make a list of things they would start doing in order to establish better habits for being an adult called #30daytodo.

Enter this girl. I already had it in my head to start being more responsible. Not only from a financial stand point but also taking better care of my body. I've unsuccessfully tried to start up these things on multiple occasions. What's better to keep me accountable than someone I don't know who won't actually be able to check up on my progress? Answer: nothing. Not entirely true but it is giving me a reason to start again. I've decided to do a mix of September Smash and #30daytodo. Why? Because it's about time I got my life in gear. Why the mixture? Because half a month is not long enough for me to effectively establish better habits that will get me to a healthier me.

Starting the 15th, here are a few rules for my life, two of which I am currently breaking.

1.  make a budget and stick to it
2.  exercise daily
3.  write daily blogs
4.  practice guitar twice a week
5.  call mother once a week
6.  brush teeth nightly
7.  only eat out once weekly
8.  call brother once a week
9.  call sister once a week
10. set a goal for savings
11. write in journal twice a week
12. be out of bed by 9 AM on days off
13. clean room weekly
14. dust every two weeks
15. vacuum room every two weeks
16. be on time
17. go to bed at 10pm
18. manage time better
19. clean dishes immediately after use
20. drink more water
21. don't snooze
22. drink less soda
23. pay off credit cards
24. finish books in a timely fashion
25. no YouTube after 9:30 PM


I may be editing this list. There are supposed to be thirty items but I could only think of 25. Things have come up that I feel should be added though I don't get to where the list is stored before it's forgotten. The list is a shameless exhibit of the terrible person I am., something that I've made a note of in the past. Now I need to get on with checking off the things on this list.
