Snowflake Challenge: Day 12

[lebateleur]

Challenge #12
Tell Us about a Personal Win.

I made a list of goals for the Day 2 challenge. A lot of them, though, are "Do XYZ by the end of the year" whereas people who study things like motivation, habit creation, and human psychology recommend framing goals so that your progress is more immediately achievable and observable. (Oops!) In the interest of getting my goals closer to the latter, let's see where my wins are three weeks on:

Watch

1. Good Omens: Season 2
2. Our Flag Means Death: Season 2
3. Dragon Prince: Book 5—I'll cross this one off the list tomorrow
4. One TBD documentary

Read

5. At least 100 books cover-to-cover—I've already read six
6. Reread Sugiura Shiho's 終点unknown series—I'm currently rereading vol. 1
7. Complete *mumblemumble* books from my TBR list—I've already read four
8. Finish my Squire's Tale readthrough

Write

9. My getyourwordsout pledge for this year—I've written over 10k words, albeit for multiple projects
10. My inkingitout pledge—I'm 13.5 percent of the way there, although I'd ideally like to do the majority of the 75k words for a few, longer projects
11. At least one fill for a fic or exchange—I've completed two!
12. At least 100 words more days than not—I'm also on track for this

Play

13. Irish flute almost every day
14. GHB for 10 minutes a day, more days than not
15. In at least one local session this calendar year
16. At least 20 new tunes by the end of the year—I've learned one so far

Game

17. Finish my BG2 replay
18. Finish my BG3 playthrough
19. Play Pentiment
20. Finish one game from my TBP list

Do

21. Keep my Duo streak going for another year—So far, so good
22. All the 2024 Snowflake Challenges—Again, so far, so good
23. Some manner of exercise daily—I am killing this, having managed this for all but two days
24. Cook (at least) 4 dinners weekly—Killing this one too, having only eaten out for the weekly Geek BBQ confab and because we were out of town to see Tool

So, yeah, a lot of wins so far!

これで以上です。

Wow! You are crushing it!

Having SMART goals as they're called, is great, but it takes a lot to break your goals into individual do-able pieces. I think what you're doing-- giving updates and listing percentages of goals completed is just as useful and inspiring.

That's a lot of great wins there. Love how you broke these into organized chunks and are tackling them (I'm in GWYO and Inkingitout too) Good luck with them all

Those are all great goals! And it seems like you are making good progress.

I should make some goals this year as well. It might help me clarify my thoughts.
