New Year's Resolutions Check In

[ysabetwordsmith]

We made it to the end of May! \o/ If you have completed some of your short-term goals or subgoals, and/or you're still chugging away at your ongoing goals, then pat yourself on the back. You worked hard for that. We've also passed through of spring. If you're doing seasonal goals, hopefully you have finished the spring one(s), so you can look ahead to the summer batch.

This year I'm trying something new, continuing to track goals at the end of each month. So far it seems to be helping, so that's encouraging. I'm looking at my goal list more often and trying to keep ticking off more of them. The main drawback is that this update becomes more of a chore each month.

Your Resolutions

Some people prefer to make their resolutions in summer. Others refresh their goals.

Other folks are working on their New Year's resolutions from January. Find ways to keep going. What progress have you made?

Did you set any outdoor goals? It's easy to overlook those in December-January when the weather is frigid. For summer, check to see if you have goals for gardening, yardwork, nature trips, etc. If not, you might want to set some goals now. For instance, many folks take a summer vacation, so explore how to plan and save money for one. Even if you're not going on vacation, summer is a good time to focus on relaxation and self-care. Here are some ideas on setting monthly goals.

I finished my "read 50 books" goal!

Go you!

That's a big accomplishment. \o/

I'm a little behind my fannish 50 posts, but I'm not as behind as I was 2 weeks ago so that's good.

For my writing goals, I recently hit 70k/100k and I'm pumped! June is just starting so I have the chance of shooting past that goal.

Go you!

As long as you're still writing the posts, you're doing a good job. That challenge is a simple number, not a time limit. I just put the year on it so I can make a new post later.

Wow, that's a lot!

I know there's no a time limit on Fannish 50 but damn, a year is a long ass time to write 50 posts, I can definitely manage it. I think. I'll probably catch up soon!
