New Year's Goals

So the beginning of a new year inevitably brings with it all sorts of resolutions and goals and things like that. I am a sucker for making goals lists and things like that, but I have this awful tendency to aim too high, even when I think I'm aiming low. I've been working on this with my therapist, and I think I'm doing better about it.

Without further ado, here are my basic goals for 2018:

1. Exercise 1 time per week. Eat healthier. Limit yourself to 3 sodas per week.
2. Write at least 12k. Participate in Get Your Words Out. Participate in the library writers' group that's supposed to be starting up. Finish The Outpost. Finish Caroline's story.
3. Read 12 books. Read 5 books by new/diverse authors.
4. Write at least 12 blog posts. Try to finish reviewing Doctor Who Series 5. Take a look into organizing my RTD Doctor Who reviews and essay into something.
5. Watch at least 25 movies. Watch 10 new films. Keep up with Letterboxd.
6. Fiber arts: finish knit cowl. Finish crocheted hooded cowl. Finish dragon gloves. Try to spin more. Maybe look into selling things on Etsy. 
7. Beat a video game. Whether it's an old one or a new one doesn't matter.
8. Watch Doctor Who Series 9 and 10. Maybe binge the Moffat era. Finish watching something (like Parks and Rec or something else). Allow yourself time to relax and watch stuff.
9. Manage your money better. Somehow.
10. Relax. Remember that goals are only suggestions. Don't beat yourself up for not doing certain things. Stay on top your mental health issues as much as you're able. Be kind to yourself and others.

So that's that, I suppose.
