Reflecting on a SMART action from a year ago

I had the good fortune to attend a personal development course last year and on one of these we all had to agree to some objectives for the coming year that were SMART....So one of these I went for was something like saving at least 10% of our energy use (electricity and gas) in the next year. Well the results have come through and we saved more than 10% and pocketed over £400 as a Christmas bonus (gross). I say gross because we had to invest - we bought two new kitchen appliances this year which are both AAA rated (they broke so were replaced because of that). We fitted a number of energy saving light bulbs and also measured where most of the electricity was going (all the IT equipment in the study was a major culprit). On that basis we fitted two sockets with power devices to turn off automatically 7 hours a day (0:00-07:00) and that has made quite a big difference. We also turned down various thermostats including the hot water boiler and the biggest thing we probably did was assess the loft insulation and have it upgraded. I think overall we're well out of pocket financially but we used less energy by more than ten percent so that was good. It's good to do something like that and see it through. It's probably what I'm programmed to do (ENTJ see post below!)
