crystalcazzieHappy New Year! I hope everyone is having a good 2023 so far! As we are in a new year it's time for me to look back at my resolutions from last January and see how much of a failure I am:
1. Post more of my 2019 photos. It doesn't have to be all of them, just make some progress. Any progress. Please. I think I made some progress choosing photos, but I don't think I posted any more and frankly it's getting a bit ridiculous now!
2. Finish the damn books you're currently reading. Yes, including that one you haven't looked at since 2018. You can remember the plot, right? I finished one of them! And then started the next one in the series rather than finishing any of the others. So... partial credit?
3. POST YOUR FIC. It has been literal years. Just post it and stop worrying that everyone is judging you. Epic Fail.
4. Score 2/6 on Wordle. Success! I think I got my first 2/6 only a few days after posting this. And according to my stats I've scored 2/6 fifteen times. That's pretty good!
So, varying levels of accomplishment there. And now onto the resolutions for this year:
1. Post more 2019 photos. I'm not allowing myself to give up on this, even if it takes a decade.
2. Finish at least one book. (Keeping the bar low here, I know.)
3. POST YOUR FIC. Also, start reviewing other people's fics. Be more involved in the fandom and stop being a creepy lurker.
4. Score 1/6 on Wordle. I know this is more luck than skill, but I still want it to happen.
5. Get your eyes tested. Stop putting it off cos you're anxious about the appointment.
6. Declutter more. Do a bit every week and get into the habit of regularly clearing things out (thinking about my handbag stuffed with old shopping lists and bus tickets!)
I don't think any of that is unreasonable. I just need to motivate myself to actually do the things and then continue to do them once I've started. Procrastination is my closest friend and my worst enemy.
