#goals2015

those pesky 2015 goals:

get my driver's license - DONE! in, like, April.

finish at least one non-fiction book - nope, but instead, I…ended up launching my author platform, and starting work on my personal site!

keep up on my health goals - exercise: I got my Fitbit working after I moved offices, and realized I do generally get enough steps to be considered something other than sedentary, and I’ve started doing prolonged physical activities like ice skating and walking around town with Jake twice a week; taking supplements: my doctor said that having enough vegetables and fruits in my diet, at my age, is sufficient! and recently we’ve added a ton of blended fruit-vegetable juices and made healthier food choices, so 👍👍👍; eating/drinking enough: mostly, yes! shoutout to Jake and @amekay3, who always reminded me to eat, and my ever-faithful cups with straws for holding lots of water and making it easy to drink.

publish FR - no, but instead, I...conceived of, wrote, edited, and published RLS instead!

finish Daugment - DONE! I even got it edited.

work on Pacemaker - just a bit…it's on hold by the creator’s choice.

read 30 books - DONE!

finish a song - DONE! it was tiny, but I used it in a video project I submitted for work, so I count it.

oh and bonus goal, I REALLY got better at cooking!

now for some 2016 goals:

learn a physical skill - martial arts maybe, or juggling, or I don’t know, dancing?

publish FR and Daugment - I have two mostly-completed manuscripts and the know-how to publish them. no excuses.

find a house - we would really like to buy a place. good vibes needed.

finish braindump on our cookbook - I feel like I’m actually qualified to work on it now, having gone through the process myself, and a year is plenty of time to word vomit another 15k words.

continue doing 2x weekly activities with Jake - ice skating, rock climbing, martial arts, hikes, we can do a lot of it these days.

continue good health habits - these include maintaining a healthy weight, drinking 60+ ounces of water daily, choosing tea & black coffee as my beverages, doing sun salutations in the morning and at night, and doing 2-3x home workouts in addition to the extended activities above.

read 30 more books! - I'm even supposed to read some for work.

write some fiction - maybe novella, maybe novel. no pressure.

keep a bullet journal - I'm hoping this helps with all my various archiving/recording/logging needs.

stuff it would be nice to get to:

practice drawing at least weekly

continue coloring meditations

submit at least 3 short stories to publications
