2013 Resolutions
Originally published at Curious Zoology. You can comment here or there.
As this blog has archived, I’m pretty terrible at keeping resolutions, but that will not stop me from making some more this new year.
1. Keep track of my money usage. I was doing this consistently about two years ago, but fell off on really paying attention to where my money was going. Now that I’ll be changing to a biweekly pay schedule, I need a better handle on where my money is going so I can make sure that my bills get paid. Bought a weekly planner specifically for recording where and how much I’m spending.
2. Get back on an exercise plan. Once I started taking the bus to work, I lost some time in the morning that I would use for working out. I am getting some walking in because of getting to the bus stop and having to walk once I’m at work. I definitely feel softer than I did a few months ago and I’ve just given into it for this winter season.
3. Start painting/drawing again. I’ve got a new little art area set up and I plan on using it. I’m not going to give myself a big challenge because I know that it will only cause me to feel bad when I can’t do it, so for now: 1 new painting or drawing each month.
4. Flossing. Yes, flossing. I’m still terrible at doing it everyday.
5. Working on new stuffed animals and managing my online store and presence. Also still terrible at self promotion.
6. Read at least 50 books this year. This will include collect comic trades so hopefully I will not fall too behind. According to Goodreads, I managed to read 44 books in 2012 and 75 in 2011.
7. Eating better. I love me some junk food and I wouldn’t cut it out completely because I know that won’t work, but going to make a better effort to eat a balanced diet and not overeating.
May add or drop things as the year progresses.
