Some of mine are: reading 52 books, going for a walk at least once a week, getting a new piercing, and doing my budgeting every week instead of waiting multiple weeks, etc etc

What's everyone else's? Maybe comrades with similar goals can be accountability buddies blob-no-thoughts

I have 4 resolutions:

  • Be nicer to people, just generally. Be more patient.
  • Do some sort of kinesthetics/weight training 4-5 days per week. Get strong.
  • Do some kind of (Spanish) language learning daily.
  • Get organized and hopefully join an org.

  • Get a new job.
  • Thrive when I move out of the US.
  • Learn more programming.
  • Switch to Linux.
  • Read more (especially theory).
  • Decrease my weed intake.

I need to solidify some of these into measurable goals (like you did), but this is the general list.

I think us “read more” people should make a weekly post for how much / what you read this week. Or a matrix group? Maybe that would help with accountability? Just throwing out ideas. 😊

Best of luck on your goals!

Best of luck on your goals!

Thanks, you too!

2024 was a fucking slog of a year. I was in the trenches from start to virtual finish and I came out better than before so, even though I didn't get to accomplish some of the goals that I am recycling for 2025, I am still very proud of myself for where I am now. We always hit obstacles that are out of our control, it's how we respond to them that is our responsibility. Now I'm in a much better place for my next 5 years, even if Bird Flu and the dang cheeto go wild.

So, for 2025, I want to read through my backlog, watch more films than I did in 2020 (my record), travel internationally again to at least 2 countries, go back to the gym and maintain discipline, eat and look healthier, save money, and plan/enact some career goals.

Read at least two books a month.

Watch 4 new movies a month.

Listen to new music. I might try and listen to an album a day, but theres a good chance I will forget doing that lmao.

Try to talk to my friends more. I think I will be able to do that at least next month because its my bday and I would love to hang out.

Complete my high school completion program and look into a trade.
