"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.
