Challenge #12

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Reading goals:

• As always, read at least 100 books cover-to-cover.
• End the year with fewer than 180 unread books in my place. Right now I have 201.
• Read three books for every new book I acquire.
• Index all my book reviews so that they’re discoverable. I meant to do this last year and did not. So. This year it is.
• Since 2021 I've put together a I need to read, am currently reading, or want to reread, to see how many of them I actually do finish reading by December 31st. Here's this year's list.

Activity goals:

• Do yoga more regularly.
• Sit zazen daily.
• Strength train at least once a week.
• Drink down my Strategic Tea Reserve. (I'm counting this as an activity because hydration is important, ya'll.)
• Take a 3 to 5 mile walk most days of the week.

Creativity goals:

• Fill one lined journal.
• Work on some kind of visual art at least once a week.
• Play through three unfinished games in my backlog.
• Learn at least ten new Irish flute tunes, solidly.
• Play Jaws of the Lion, Dragonfire, and Gloomhaven.

Language goals

• Finish DuoLingo Latin.
• Work through one Teach Yourself book from beginning to end.
• Finish my second go-through of the Learning Manx podcast.
• Finish the FSI Indonesian Basic Course.
• Work through one resource in another language from beginning to end.

Writing goals:

• Complete getyourwordsout. This year I have a word count goal, which I will count as completed if I meet it through a combination of Wednesday book reviews and fic in draft format. Bonus points if I hit it solely with fic in draft format. Hitting it entirely with finished fic unlocks legendary mode
• Complete inkingitout + participate more actively in comments.
• Archive old fics on AO3.
• Post at least one piece of fiction to AO3 a month (even if it is only a drabble).
• Finish at least one languishing WIP.

I am imagining the eleventy million cups of coffee I would need to reach half of these goals in a year. Your energy sounds amazing!

[lebateleur]

I don't drink eleventy million cups of coffee in a year...but I may come close. 😉 If I achieve half of these goals I'll be pretty happy too! But listing them out here will hopefully help me to get closer to doing it.

You are going to be so busy! Good luck with your goals.

I misread "books I want to reread" as 'unread' and I was like, yeah, I've got some of those, lol!

[lebateleur]

Hah! There are definitely more than a few books I want to 'unread', especially if I could get that time back for something else. 😁

Excellent goals! Good luck with achieving them!

[lebateleur]

Thank you!!

[under_the_silk_tree]

Those are some awesome goals! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[lebateleur]

Thank you--I'll be quite pleased if I manage even half of them this year, but it's still helpful to list them all out.

Ambitious, but doable!

[lebateleur]
