New Year's Resolutions Check In

ysabetwordsmithWe made it through the first work week of January. This is enough to get an early glimpse of progress with New Year's resolutions. It's also malleable enough to make changes.
How are your resolutions going?
Are you struggling with year-long goals? Consider adding some one-day resolutions to boost your sense of accomplishment. You can also break yearly goals into smaller subgoals, like monthly or weekly ones.
Do you feel more crushed by obligations than inspired by opportunities? Add some fun New Year's resolutions so you don't burn out. Bored with the same old resolutions? Try something unique!
How are you doing with tracking your progress? If you need a visual representation, check out these bullet journal pages.
Are you still going strong? Reward yourself!

Date: 2023-01-08 07:27 am (UTC)I may check out the fun new year's resolutions when I have the brain. I don't necessarily want to add more goals, but one of my goals does include trying to add more play/fun to my life, so ideas for that wil be helpful :)
So far, I have managed to do all the scheduling and planning stuff I wanted to get done early in the year, I have met all of the daily requirements for my long term goals, and I have essentially finished the "do a knit/corchet project" goal. I crocheted a baby blanket and all that's left is to wash it. I definitely want to do another project this year, and am in fact planning to start a scarf soon, but it's really nice to have this one done so early. Plus it was a lot of fun to do, and real quick.
