I’ve made more in depth notes about format based on previous attempts of the last two ideas in my current dot journal.
2) I successfully retrieved my IP PIN from irs.gov & filed my 2022 taxes. Both federal & state refunds are showing in my checking account as of 2/28. I determined, of my previous years’ unfiled returns, only 2020’s needed to be filed in order to get my missing stimulus checks. I filed for 2020 & see that my missing stimulus checks are pending deposit in my checking account with a possible deposit date of 3/8. I shredded tax records from 2014 & back. A lot of feelings came up looking through the old paperwork, but I think this just about puts this goal to rest?!
3) I found & gathered together binder, plastic sheet protectors, and dividers I already owned so I didn’t have to buy anything. I checked out one book from the library about death planning, but I haven’t started reading it yet.
I’m feeling good enough about my progress so far.

April update.
1) I’ve been keeping a work journal & I’ve filled 12.5 pages so far. I read a book about art journaling. I’m going to try some stenciling with homemade stencils in my sketchbooks. I’m excited about that.
2) The tax stuff is all done. The returns & stimuli have all been successfully direct deposited into a bank account. This goal is officially complete!
3) I finished reading the first library book I checked out about death planning. I’ve got a list of documents to assemble. I’d also like to rollover a retirement account from a previous job into my current retirement account.
I’m an organ donor, & reading this particular book made me realize that in order to get most of my organs donated, I will have to die in the hospital. It’s kind of obvious now that I think about it, but that hadn’t occurred to me before.
I’m not into tattoos because I’m a commitment phobe, but this book also gave me an idea for a tattoo I’d like: DNR. It’s an acronym for Do Not Resuscitate. Also, my signature underneath. They have DNR jewelry, but I don’t wear jewelry.
That’s all, folks.
