5 Things I want to make more time for

Today I wanted to write a post inspired by a recent video of the lovely Estée (aka Essie Button previously) who posted THIS video on her channel this week.

I've said before there are not enough hours in the day but I there are so many things that you always want to make more time for. Today I want to share with you some of things I want to make more time for:

Exercise
Me and Adam have had gm memberships for around 3 months now and I don't think I could even tell you the last time we went. I want to make time in the week (time when I would otherwise be sat in front of the TV. The silly thing is I actually enjoy the gym when I get there it is just dragging my butt there...

Reading
I have a book shelf full of books I have never read. I want to read them. I want to get passionate about reading again. Even if it is just 15 minutes a day before bed I want to pick up a book. Let me know if you can recommend any good ones?

Cooking
Since I moved out I've got into cooking more than I did when I lived at home. Over the past couple of months I have been experimenting more and more with new meals. I want to continue to try different things instead of just going for the same quick options when we get in from work.

Blogging
Again something I've said many times. Even if I just pop on for 10 minutes a day and update you all on whats going on. I don't want this to be a place I don't update you on! Especially over the next 12 months or so, they are going to be very exciting what with the lead up to the wedding and then the honeymoon and then obviously we will have our first year as a married couple! I want to document all of this!

Being Offline
Adam and I made a deal that we would have date night once a week. This is usually a monday but if we are both busy like we were this week we pick another night. This doesn't have to be a night where we go out. It may just be a night where we curl up and watch a movie putting our phones and laptops down. However on other nights we get in the habit of sitting with our laptops on different sofas! More offline time (which would obviously make #2 easier)

I think 5 things is enough to go at for now.  I want to work on these between now and the end of the year and then have a look at them again. As my life is reaching a new stage, I need to change the way I am doing things. So I am hoping this will kick start that!
