2020 has certainly been a year to remember. However, for us personally (and fortunately) it hasn\u2019t been too bad and there has been plenty to be thankful<\/a> for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The events of 2020 have been a catalyst for evaluating, prioritising and appreciating and also for looking ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind here are some \u2018resolutions\u2019 inspired by the last year. Of course, these are aside from the perpetual eat healthier and drink less booze ones. In no particular order\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolutions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Don\u2019t put off plans unnecessarily \u2013 we learnt in 2020 just how easily plans can be scuppered<\/li>
  2. Take any opportunity to travel (it doesn’t even need to be far) \u2013 it felt so amazing coming out of lockdown and being able to have a fantastic summer holiday<\/a>, which we appreciated all the more. We also managed to squeeze in a half-term short UK trip. It felt such a blow when travel was restricted again<\/li>
  3. Get the girls Italian passports \u2013 having an EU passport will enable our daughters to live and work in the EU far more easily should they choose to in the future. I just need to muster the mental strength to go through the process  <\/li>
  4. Have a more seize the day attitude<\/li>
  5. Stop checking social media<\/a> and my emails on my phone so much<\/li>
  6. Separate work time and leisure time \u2013 try not to get distracted with non-work stuff during working hours and vice versa during family time<\/li>
  7. Don\u2019t sweat the small stuff \u2013 life really is too short and I need to carry on prioritising what really matters. It\u2019s easier said than done for someone who\u2019s a bit pedantic  <\/li>
  8. My eldest daughter said she wants to save more money (she\u2019s a bit of a spendthrift). I was always a saver as a kid, so this pleases me immensely. We\u2019re starting on the penny challenge<\/a> TODAY<\/li>
  9. On a professional front, try to get over my imposter syndrome and out of my comfort zone  <\/li>
  10. Do something just because \u2013 maybe a new hobby<\/li>
  11. Don\u2019t feel pressurised into responding to non-urgent texts, WhatsApps, emails etc immediately<\/li>
  12. Take more time to stop and smell the roses<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
