The Heart or emotional quadrant includes my sub-categories for Family and Home. I have lots of things that I do with Andrea and Jacob, but they’re not really things that go on a list like this, and the category is generally the least amenable to setting “goals” and “targets”. However, I do have some “events” or “activities” to flag that are new as well as home renovation activities.

Family

For family, we started off in 2021 better than we finished, as the lethargy kicked in as the year progressed. We did some Lego early on, escape room puzzles, Kiwi crates, etc, and we had bigger plans to do more that fizzled as the year went on. For the coming year, all of us need support to weather the effects of the pandemic including isolation, etc. and Jacob is facing potential surgery at some point in the year. We have some Lego we want to do together, some games and recipes, and some writing too, maybe some other items like watching shows or designing a board game.

A year from now, I want everyone to be happier and healthier than when we start the year, in whatever form that is, and to have helped J through his surgery and recovery plus a handful of group projects together.

Home

Last year, we made progress on our various home offices and desk setups for all three of us. But for this year, there are some “bits” that still need finishing, including the basement for furniture and purging / rearranging stuff. Some of it shows up under Fitness, as it includes getting a few setups going that I want. And there are a bunch of basic things on the reno / maintenance list plus some larger items like landscaping or a redoing bathrooms.

A year from now, I’d like the basement set up completely, the bathrooms on the second floor re-done, and landscaping in the front yard upgraded.
