Do you have any new years resolutions?

Do you have any new years resolutions? If so what are they and how are they going so far?

[Nightdrift]

Yes indeed! From a prior topic, I had said

My resolutions tend to lean towards "how will I approach the year" rather than concrete goals, but I try to make one every year. This year, I would like to have more F U N and be a bit more flexible with things. I have been a little strict towards personal hobbies and passions, so I'd like to see what happens if I just let go of the metaphorical steering wheel.

Now, it has only been 20 days into the New Year, but I think things are going well so far. If having more "fun" is to treat projects with more leniency without feeling like it has become a second job in itself, I think things are going alright. Last night I felt myself growing a little weary with one of the projects I was working on, and switched over to just doodling silly things instead of continuing to work in frustration. In the past, I had struggled with putting a lot of pressure on my hobbies, so it was a nice little victory to actively reroute/set camp for the night instead of continuing to try forge ahead. I hope to continue being mindful of when a passion project begins to feel like a chore, and redirect my energy elsewhere (or just go to sleep LOL)

Did you have a resolution for 2022?

In a thread from about a month ago I said I need to be nicer to myself.

So I'll practice that and say that so far, I think I'm doing... okay!

That's such a good one... I need to be doing that too! Doodling is so fun

Seems the theme of 2022 is being kinder to one's self, and I'm no different! My resolution is to improve my productivity/recreation balance. Anyone else have a nasty habit of working on full blast for months on end until you're almost catatonic? here's to ending that habit before 2023!
