December really got away from me. More than usual. Job searching has proved stressful and time consuming. Graduating (the actual ceremony) proved more complex than I'd hoped. Then we didn't have to make a big deal out of my birthday, but we wanted to. Then Christmas with the in-laws.
It's a lot, especially for an introvert. I think I did okay overall but some things got away from me, particularly last week. I had a couple days where I just had to recharge and felt like I was on the fritz. It happens, too.
In the past it's taken a while for me to find my feet in the New Year. I am trying to get going faster, quicker this time. I hesitate to call these resolutions, because I am not fond of the silly associations that go with that label. But here's my goals:
- Keep off somethingawful and reddit; I don't get much out of either and they waste a lot of time.
- cut far back on social media for the same reason
- don't take shortcuts on anything I do
- write
- Establish a useful, healthy routine to deal with the uncertainty of my current situation
Subgoal: work up easy to use shopping lists and budgets
