Yesterday I revealed my One Little Word for 2010: RISK.

This year, in addition to thinking about putting myself out there a little more, I’m going to articulate some definite goals and plans to try to accomplish.

Not resolutions. That’s too hard.

But an ambitious to-do list I’m OK with.

I am not differentiating between things that I’m sure will happen and things that will only happen if I put my mind to it. I am choosing NOT to acknowledge which are realistic and which are wildly unrealistic. Just go with it …

Some are measurable, some are not. Some are tangible, some are just themes.

For more ideas and inspiration for your own list, take a look at these from around the web to help your brainstorming:

• Elsie Flannigan of A Beautiful Mess
• Nick Onken (photographer)
• Kelly of Sage Wedding Pros
• Emma from Red Velvet Art
• Silje from Little Bird Crafts
• Color Me Katie
• The team at Southern Weddings
• Jordan from Oh Happy Day
• Michelle of Sage Wedding Pros
• (not for 2010 but) Melissa Jill’s 101 in 1001 list

Friends and family:

• Joe and Katie’s wedding (August 6)
• Katie’s various bridal showers
• host parties, holidays and get-togethers (assuming we are able to buy a house)
• Invite friends/family on our little adventures/excursions
• Remember/acknowledge as many birthdays as possible

Organization and home:

• Do more cleaning/chores/taking care of the home (only Andrew can say if I succeed at this)
• Start a home-manual (w/ details about our appliances, contact for companies we do business with and just an all-around go-to for day-to-day information

Environment:

• Reuse and re-purpose – rather than just throwing away or giving away
• Implement some of these tips

Business (Teegan Photography):

• Read at least 1 business/marketing book per month
• Keep up on my business/marketing blogs that I read
• Narrow down the wedding/wedding photographer blogs to only include people who truly inspire me.
• Exhibit at at least 1 bridal expo
• Finalize product offerings
• Put together promo video for the site
• Do some just-for-fun shoots

Blog (Those Crazy Schuberts):

• Continue to blog consistently Monday-Friday
• Find more ways to increase the SEO on the blog, increase readership and focus my story
• Add video (I think I’m going to get one of these cameras)
• Publish at least 2 free e-books

Financial:

• Tighten up our budget
• continue saving money for our new house, furniture, eventually-needed car, etc.
• Open an IRA account (for me)
• contribute to both my and Andrew’s IRA accounts
• knock out some more student debt

Travel:

• Hearst castle for my birthday (April 2-3)
• Mexico cruise for Katie’s bachelorette extravaganza (June 4-7)
• Paso Robles to shoot a wedding (April 10-11)
• Plan/book our vacation for 2011 (likely an Alaska cruise with Julie)
• Maybe a Sunday trip to Santa Barbara with Daniel and Jenae
• Maybe visit Jamie in San Diego

Health:

• Stop buying soda.
• Shop seasonally at the farmers’ markets
• Get my eyes checked

Just for me:

• More Andrew. Less internet.
• More crafting. Less internet.
• continue learning about American history (currently on colonial/Revolutionary War era)
• learn more about fashion photography
• shoot at least 1 role of film
• turn 28 years old (this one should be easy)

What do you have in mind for 2010?
