resolvingThis is a chance to get to know each other and share our resolutions that we're going to start in the new year, as well as any ongoing resolutions we may have.
Remember the community guidelines, although it's fine that if for this post and the next one, you bring up resolutions that you're not sure how to frame in terms of duration or exact endpoint. Secondly, I would encourage everyone to take a look at this, on how to set good goals for yourself.
The goal here is to set goals that are perhaps difficult for yourself, but ultimately achievable, and on your own terms.
Questions!
Name:
About You: Anything you'd like to share about you, and perhaps your motivations.
Three things you'd like to change about yourself: We all tend to have a very long list here, but what are the top three things that could be different?
Resolutions that you've made in the past: Ways to expand: Have the failed? Succeeded? What's worked, what hasn't? What would you do again? Etc.
Resolutions that you're making this year:
Resolution: The basic goal, in broad terms.
Plan: Your steps in achieving this.
Keeping track: Are you going to write on your personal journal? Use a website, a notebook? Let us know.
Endgoal: This will be successful if. If you have a broad range of definitions for success, please choose a precise goal in that range as well.
&c.: Anything else

Date: 2010-12-28 04:16 am (UTC)About You: I am currently trying to organize myself enough to do all the things I want to do. These thing s include finding my DVDs, hiking, making movies, swimming, reading more things that aren't trash, and maybe just more healthy things in general.
Three things you'd like to change about yourself:
1. Eat better most of the time. MORE VEGETABLES.
2. Keep a better calendar then what I normally do, which is "oh crap, time for X."
3. Exercise more frequently.
Resolutions that you've made in the past:
Pretty much all of the above. I have made fits and starts at organzation, and been organized for weeks at at time before it all falls down, so. Also the vegatable thing seems to be doing better then I was this time last year!
Resolutions that you're making this year:
Resolution: Improve diet.
Plan: Keep a paper diary of meals, menus, grocery shopping, recipes. Try to keep portion control in mind.
Keeping track: Write a paper diary, daily. Write a summary of that every week, hopefully here.
Endgoal: While I'm not a fan of vegetarianism, I want to see if I can cut my meat consumption down by this time next year.
&c.: This goal is already in progress: I've been spending more time cooking instead of eating prepared food, and I'm so far please with the result.
Resolution: Keep up a consistant creative output, if at all possible.
Plan: Try to create something new every week--carve a plate, write a story, make headway with video editing. Write more script, etc.
Keeping track: Progress report here once a week.
Endgoal: Have 52 new things at the end of the year.
&c.: Be smart and allow yourself a month of smaller things for June, for organizing festival.
Resolution:Exercise frequently.
Plan: 40 minutes or more of exercise, 3-5 days a week.
Keeping track: I'm considering signing up for Health Month again, weekly progress reports, etc.
Endgoal: A consistant cycle of exercise that I can keep up in any weather or mood cycle.
&c.: This is probably going to be mostly walking for 40 minutes, stretching routines, and minor weightlifting, because I'm not a huge fan of the notion of gyms, but I figure anything is better then being a lump.
