New year, same exact catchphrase goals as always. Okay, so first, the exhaustive abridged version of my goals for Q1 2019: tl;dr: Lots of writing and exercise, cleaning up some backlogged projects that I never want to think about again. I added a new category this year (sustainability) because it's something I want to think about and act on way more often. It used to be rolled into my "community" category but it didn't get enough attention. Okay, so given that those are the things I want to achieve at the start of this year, what do I need to do to get there? Q1: Workout 3 x per week. (health) I did hit my goal of 120 workouts last year, on the nose! That was an increase over the 2017 goal of 104, which I also hit on the nose. I'm feeling a bit intimidated, but that's been true every year. 3 workouts per week = 156 workouts, so I still have 24 workouts as wiggle room. I'm excited about this goal. Q2: Salad or veggies 4x per week. (health) I upgraded 1x per week over my last challenge. It's starting to feel pretty easy but I would like it to be EVEN EASIER. This week I've made two pretty weird salads and they both came out okay. Q3: Work on novel & KS rewards for at least a few minutes, five days out of the week. (writing) I *hate* rolling goals together into one like this, but I've been doing this successfully for a while now. So I think it'll still be a pretty effective goal. Q4: Set aside one working period per week for my backlogged projects (underlined up in the yearly goals, misc. areas of focus). I have a lot of projects I want to get done, but I struggle to put time aside to actually *work* on them....meaning I end up waiting til they become urgent. Which is bad in its own right, and then some projects *never* become urgent and just lurk over my shoulder like a creep. I AM DONE WITH CREEPY HALF-ABANDONED PROJECTS FOREVER. Priority: Gaming con work, OSS project, Blogs, Backlogged design project, 403(b)/pension research
