Ever since writing last week's weekly goals post, I've been thinking about what I want to do in 2025. I think as a bit of a twist on the weekly goals posts, this year I want to make actual New Year's resolutions for the first time in years. And instead of writing weekly goals posts with new short-term goals each week, I'll do a 52-week challenge, tracking my progress on my goals each week.
It's not that the weekly goals posts weren't helpful in 2024. They actually were, for several reasons. First and most importantly, I stuck with the habit the entire year, which was kinda like a trial of sorts, and gave me confidence that I could do something a little more challenging in 2025. Also, it gave me a chance to see what I did well — and what I didn't.
I'm easily distractible and chase interests like rabbits, so the result is that I take on too much and don't focus enough on the things I want most. (Izzy's care being an obvious exception; nothing is more important to me than my animals, and I will gladly drop everything else to take care of them.) I'm proud of all the things I do — the time I volunteer, my writing, the people I help on Facebook — but I also need to learn to both prioritize and focus.
I'll post again soon with my goals for 2025, but for now I'm off to celebrate New Years the grown-up way: cuddled up on the couch with a glass of spiked eggnog, a book, and possibly an episode of a favorite TV show (in this case, Dexter).
