2025 New Year's Resolutions and Goals!!!
It's pretty late at the time of writing this (1/10/25), but I want to write down some major and minor goals for this year! I hope these goals are achievable at least?!
- Complete a major life milestone
- I can't say what it is, but I'm excited to complete a major personal milestone (finally!) this year.
- Actually make a decision and work towards something career / professional-related
- Again, can't be specific. But it's being active when it comes to something in my professional life.
- Study for the JLPT N1
- Even if I don't end up taking it, I want to study active and often. To keep my goals specific instead of vague, I'll at least burn through an entire N1 (and ideally a below review) flashcard deck.
- Procrastinate less
- My worst enemy. Do tasks on time. Read book club books in advance. Don't run away from problems.
- Be more social
- Respond to emails more on time, reach out to people both online and offline. My life has been busy lately, and I want to be more active in the small net community. It's hard for me to reply sometimes, but genuinely, thank all of you.
- Read more (Japanese and English)
- I'm in a book club, so I'm "forced" to read books at least ~once a month anyways. I need more Japanese reading practice... Hmmm... Let's say a very doable bare-minimum of 5 LNs in Japanese this year?
- Clean
- Be more neat and organized... maybe do a Sunday ritual "refresh"?
- Improve my Art
- Start drawing backgrounds. Draw props more often. Study fundies. Draw multiple characters. Just draw more even if I don't stick to DAD.
- Make a Doujin
- It's an ambious task for me, but I've wanted to do this for a while.
- Get more involved in the doll community
- More dollfoto. Work on sewing even if it's handsewing. Maybe take some pictures at least once a month and post on Flickr?
