After 7 years of complacency, I decided to change day jobs so I spent November teaching others how to do my old job and then started training for the new one. Training for the new job took 4 and a half weeks and by the time I was done with that I had the worst cold I've had in years. The damn thing stuck around off and on for over 3 weeks, with the last incarnation of it really kicking my butt.
But now everything is finally starting to fall into place and I'm finding myself comfortable with my new job and my new work schedule. I hope this comfort means that I will be able to start accomplishing my goals, which is my big plan for 2013. I am going to make smaller, easier to accomplish goals for each month and those goals will include writing, reading and working out of course, but I also want to cross as many things off of my Things to do Before I Die List (aka bucket list) as possible.
Another thing I want to do (which also kinda works with my list, since it's on there in a way) is get this blog into shape and then get more followers. I need to come up with a schedule/plan and then stick with it. I need to put myself out there, not to mention get my butt in gear when it comes to the whole reason I have this blog in the first place, which is my writing.
There's a lot that needs to be done and since I've felt more productive in the last week than I have in the last 6 months, I have high hopes that great things will happen.
January Goals
Read 3000 pages
Write 1000 words a day
Workout 3 hours a week
All goals are of course at least that amount. More is always better.
Update for January Goals: I have read more than 4000 pages this month, so at least I've gotten one goal met. The rest have been left hanging while I got rid of the nasty cold. Now that I can breathe again, working out might actually commence. And now that I am caught up and feeling comfortable with life, I can actually start writing again. I am really mostly happy with life right now.
