Happy 2024!

Happy New Year!

Spent most of yesterday and part of today doing my traditional clean/purge/organize. It's at a point where I'm satisfied with the outcome and have the best intentions of keeping it this way for the foreseeable future. I boxed up or donated several of my old CDs and have made space on that shelf for more books.

Goals for the year:
Health - exercise more regularly, make healthy choices in what I'm eating (re-establish the 8pm cut-off), get to sleep at a decent hour, and make a concerted effort to lose 20 lbs by the end of the year.
Social - attend more social activities sponsored by my church / reactivate my involvement in some of the online communities here / make weekly check-ins and give and reply to feedback on DW & LJ
Reading - read 10 new-to-me books this year
Writing - write more. 100k is the goal. I fell way short of that last year, so I need to make a plan and stick with it

That's it for now. I'll do a recap of my 2023 writing soon.

You've got this! These are all realistic and obtainable goals. And man, I had the saddest writing year ever last year. LOL

Fingers crossed we both get a lot of love from our Muses this year (and time to do it all).

ALL THE GOOD WRITING VIBES. :D

Great goals! I like that they kind of feed into each other. Socializing more will get you out and about more, which will lead to renewed energy and inspiration for writing. You can do it!

Thanks. And that's a great way to look at it. I worry that socializing is going to take time away from my writing, but it might help to feed it.

Cheers on the clean/purge/organize trifecta from someone stuck in the same situation at the moment! It's the fourth of January and somehow I am still doing laundry and folding clothes. Good luck with all your goals!

[cmk418]

Laundry seems to be the chore we can never get away from. It's just me and I wound up doing six loads over the course of three days because I wanted to empty the hamper. And then get to do three more as soon as Sunday comes around.

I wish you success in your clean/purge/organize journey!
