nonesensed: My cat is a happy cat (Default)

Boy oh boy do I need to slow down. Four panic attacks over the holidays is four too many (aka I would prefer to stop having these, please and thank you). Soooo, the goal for this year is to say no to more stuff (especially, sadly, to fun stuff) and to spend more time just recovering. Yay.

What I planned to do in 2018
1) A writing list sure exists now. I really need to scale it down. Did finish NaNoWriMo though, in November. Pretty proud of that :)

2) Yup, read 80+ books this year. Not doing that again, clearly a source of stress. Aiming for 12 books this year instead. Will likely read more, but it's good to not _have to_ read more than that.

3) Didn't follow this one for long. New attempt this year, only this time no "extra eating" unless it's a holiday. Let's see how long that lasts...

4) Created my side-blogs. Then Tumblr staff made poor poor decisions re: NSFW material. Will see how long that sinking ship holds together.

5) "Work days" did not work out. Not trying that this year, too much pressure.

6) It was waaaay to hot to run the summer of 2018. I did get started back up with pole dancing though, which was super neat! Can now hang upside-down from a metal pole using only my legs. Pretty happy with that :)

7) All notebooks still not on computer *rolls eyes at self*

8) Mom's been in a not-reading-mood for a long while, so motivation for the Goblin Emperor Swedish side project died pretty quickly. Will see if I restart it some day.

9) Exercise was done this year! A lot! Pole dance 3 times a week is pretty tough on the body, but so worth it :D

10) This happened, and then went backwards, and then happened again, on and on. Need to feel better before this can work out. Hoping to make some progress this year.

11) Managed to finish 1 video game this year. Since it was a long one and my brain has been feeling like mashed potatoes, I think that's pretty okay.

Good luck with your plans for the new year! "No panic attacks" sounds like a very worthy goal.
