Goals for August

Late, I know, but I had a mental list at the beginning of the month that I have been working through. August is always clear and declutter month for me as I prepare for the new school year, so most of my goals reflect that.

• Clear out under the stairs
• Declutter my wardrobe/drawers and take the clothes that need it to be altered/mended to a tailor. For the former I will be following the good advice from Hanger Envy. For the latter I will be investigating the local tailor shop I spotted a couple of months back.
• Go through my make up drawers and throw some old stuff out.
• Knit something. Anything!
• Inventory/photograph my buttons and buckles stash on Ravelry.
• Clean the cutlery drawer, which is looking a bit grubby, and clean out the old cutlery drawers so I can throw one away. Mother Z has been irritated by the grubby orange drawers under the kitchen cupboards for some time now, so getting rid of one might please her a little.
• Have winter coats cleaned (or wash them myself if I can) and sew the button back onto the blue one.
• Set up my work blog on my new domain.
• Make a clear plan for next year with long-term goals so I know what to work towards and track my efforts properly.
• Draw up an exercise program and get started on it in the final week of the month so I am set up to continue when school starts again.
  

I hope that's not too many. I have already done almost three of them, though.
