"Something Just Like This"

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

Yesterday, I released my FINALIZED New Year's Resolution. Almost. Later that day, there was a final edit...OK, you got me, it was a version change. While I loved the idea of all 10, I took 3 resolutions off the list. While if I'm in a zone, I can do everything and more, I know I can't keep that sort of focus from today into 2022. I wouldn't quite say the intentions are diametric—it's far more of an issue of resources. The thing is, I keep trying to cram in things that are good and things I want to do, but, things can get out of hand. Sure, I can listen to 240 audiobooks in a year—I've demonstrated in the past that I could have a 400-450 pace—but it does take a focused commitment to accomplish it. And focus can be a fleeting thing when there's so much to look at. Hence, let's reexamine my list and see how the focii don't compete but hopefully have some synergistic value:

Rank Focus Resolution
1 Weight Reach 1st Year Anniversary of My Carnivore Diet on November 23, 2021.
2 Fitness Outcome Run in at Least Seven IRL 5Ks.
3 Education Learn Python and Build Programs to Track Fitness and Replace My Use of Gnucash.
4 Friends Return to Facebook to Restore, Retrofit and Retrowave Our Lives After I've Been Years Away on a Sabbatical From Social Media.
5 Fun MANifest The Yeard That Began on January 31, 8am. No Trimming Allowed, but Certainly Invite Boxes of Just for Men.
6 Discovery Explore Colognes as I Punt the Shampoo & Deodorant Construct.
7 The Glue Maintain My Website via GitHub Pages.

Is this scalable/adaptable for the future? As I develop this focus schema, 2022 might have the same approach even with completely different resolutions.
