Jyoo C Thoughts 65: New Years Resolutions
7 years ago
General
Hello everyone! lol Yes, I know, two journals in a week? It's almost like I'm becoming social! lol I promise I won't bother you all too much more this week, but last night I promised I'd announce my resolutions for the New Year! I did fairly well in keeping to my goals last year, more or less! No, dad's still smoking, and my alarm clock broke so I've been waking up rather sporadically, but I've done a decent job with my diet, exercising, and for awhile, I was quite good there with Youtube. I'm going to try to continue with some of these, and add a few new ones in! So without further adieu, here's what I've got for 2019
Infinity Quest Book Ah yes, my novel which will have been looming over me for 15 years in April. Since my stronger computer crapped out, I tried to meet my deadline of the end of December 2018 on my much older computer. That didn't happen, much to my annoyance. So here's my plan, For the rest of the Month of January (February at the latest) I'm going to focus on getting through the last 3 Chapters that need done, then through February/March through to August I'm going to go through the much older and earlier Chapters, touch them up and fix the ones that were damaged when the file was nearly lost last year, and look into having the novel out before the end of the year. I'm going to write out a schedule for it and see if that helps, but I think the calmer work plan will help me ease the rest of this out without stressing myself to death. Here's to hoping this is my LAST YEAR WORKING ON EPISODE ONE! I know when I get it done, I'll be able to belt the others out much faster. It's just hard to condense this universe I've been working on so long down to a point where I can start at.
Infinity Quest Art This one is fairly straight forward, but I want to start uploading more art and content about my universe than just the little bits I've trickled online thus far. I have a desk full of old pictures, concepts, designs, and notes of many years that need touching up, but I'd like to get more out to share with all of you! This includes more species, starships, robots, technologies, landscapes, animals, and a few comics. I've been wanting to do a comic for awhile now, so we'll see what form that takes!
Violin I want to start practicing my Violin at least once once a week to actually get good at it. If I get decent enough, I wouldn't mind showing off at Megaplex in August.
Consistency This is something I've had issues with for AGES. Inktober last year was a good example that I CAN keep to a schedule and even produce art daily if I put my mind to it, so I'd like to start getting a more consistent schedule sometime in this new year. If I can get this ideally, it will be Youtube Videos Monday and/or Friday, Artwork Tuesday and/or Thursday, and Live Streaming on Wednesday. I'm hoping if I can get into a swing, I can actually get into a habit where I can actually start keeping up with some of my ideas for content instead of sitting atop a mountain of unfinished works and ideas I don't have time to start. If I can, I'd also like to start writing end of the week/beginning of the week journals to stay in touch.
Exercising I've lost 53 Pounds in total so far, taking me down to like 213 or so, so I'm not quite at last year's goal, but I'm happy with the results thus far and want to press my advantage. This means, back to Yoga, back to cold showers and meditation, Treadmill 6 days out of the week, weight lifting every other day, pushups every night, and Hot/Cold training. I want to get in my best shape yet by the end of the year!
Personal And finally, here's just a few that are lumped together that I'd like to try to get done for improving myself this year. 1: Brushing my Teeth Every Day, I'll be honest, I often get distracted and don't make the time. 2: Spend 30 Minutes a Day Reading, because I own a lot of books I've never touched. 3: Finish Up the Pictures I Owe From That Raffle, because my novel sort of ate up a lot of that time, and 4: I'd like to try to get over 250 watchers on one of my accounts, because in the years I've been online, I think that's about the maximum amount of people I've ever had interested enough in my content to want to see more. It might be selfish of me, and don't get me wrong: I appreciate each and every one of you, but I want to know that I'm at least interesting enough to go farther.
Well, that's everything for now! And to round this Monster off, I'm going to put my To Do list at the bottom of this journal to remind me of the things I have to do yet.
