So I'm clearly late with this, the goals for the new year was maybe Snowflake challenge #4?
But man, setting goals in January is hard. Can't we do this some other time of the year when everything isn't stuffed in the Nothing Will Ever Work(TM) basket because it's cold and dark?
But okay let's try, set your own goals for the new year
1) I'd like to write more. I wrote some last year, but very sporadically. So I'd like to make more time for that. No specific goals for words or days or finished things, but just to make time, and maybe try to participate in fannish things with that. I have signed up for a writing class, which might be helpful or might at least be interesting, though I'm very close to bailing from it, because (see above) Nothing Will Ever Work.
2) I need to get back to the gym. The pilates I'm doing is helpful, but isn't apparently enough to not make stuff randomly hurt, or to prevent me from needing to wrap myself into a mummy with my blanket and pillows to keep me from melting into weird shapes while I sleep. So, goal: lift heavy things, say, once a week. This can be substituted with home bodyweight stuff or playing on the outdoor gym monkeybars, but apparently not with just walking or pilates.
3) Work needs some sort of new direction, somewhat tbd what that is, a new job or at least a new role. This was the goal for last year as well, but maybe it'll work better in 2025. A concrete goal would be to at least get my [paperwork] done as soon as possible, which isn't too far off, I hope.
4) Last year I set a goal to write here every month, and almost succeeded. I posted one entry somewhere in the time zone liminal space between May and June, and counted that for both. I'll probably try to continue posting monthly this year too, it has proven to be a fun exercise.
And all this with the caveat that I have no idea what is going to happen with the health issues in the family, but I'm trying to make some goals and plans despite of that, since, you know, it's all unclear and just putting everything on hold seems like a somewhat bad idea in itself.
