#ny resolutions

I was going to do this for the day, but who am I kidding.

1. Post a Sunday Six (This one I have to do today), which will entail making sure I have content for a Sunday Six

2. If I don’t have enough to post, write enough to post (that should take care of my Sunday, huh?) (Again, this one I have to do today.)

3. Update my masterlist (I used to do it every time I posted, but none of my holiday stories are on it). I did make myself a holiday masterlist header, so yay!

4. Clean up my Google docs folder

5. Get my daily masterlists ready for @choicesjanuarychallenge2021​ incase anyone writes anything for the prompts.

6. Catch up on Foreign Affairs so I can read the story that @jamespotterthefirst​ posted and not be lost. I’m somewhere in chapter one.

7. Try not to feel let down because I have very few submission for the January challenge; I know it’s after the holidays and everyone has burnout (myself included).

hello hello! with one week of the year (decade!) behind us, i’ve finally found some time to reflect on what i’d like to improve/continue for 2020. without further ado:

1. stop worrying about what other people think about me. if not completely, at least to the point where it isn’t taking up so much mental/emotional energy.

2. on that line: be more confident and assertive. stop second-guessing myself so frequently. look people in the eye when i’m speaking. maintain a steady voice.

3. radiate positivity, especially when i’m feeling gross & it’s difficult. assume good will in others.

4. avoid self-destructive practices that may hurt me in the long-run.

5. prioritize my health more. if i don’t have time to exercise, at least take a long walk around campus. establish more consistent sleeping habits.

physical books (on the shelf): 161

Read: 96

New years resolution: read the books I already have before buying any more

I want to actually commit to things. Usually, when I think of a hobby or something I'd like to take up, it ends in me doing it for a week or so and then giving up. I'd really love to actually commit and see something like that through. Have it stick. I won't force myself to keep doing things I hate, but I wanna figure out if I like something before I quit. If I don' like it, fine.

I've started with knitting. Today was learning how to actually do it (after a kinda sad attempt a few weeks again) and I've really enjoyed it. The goal is to stick with it.
