I’ve never gotten into the ritual of establishing New Year’s resolution the same way I’ve never been great at maintaining a planner. The idea of it sounds great but it just never seems to stick. Instead, I much prefer Julia Rothman’s approach to drawing a line between things she would love to do “more” of and “less” of. On that note, here are mine:
More:
- Reading books on topics I know nothing about
- Educate myself on nutrition
- Allowing time to write
- Learning to be more patient
- Traveling
- Planning of dates with wife
- Speaking up
- Pursuing personal photography projects
- Vocal about my photography vision
- Meet people who challenge me in a new way
- Visualizing
- Investing
- Sleep (more than 6hrs)
Less:
- Negative self-talk
- Social media
- Thinking about ideas and more doing
- Feeling guilty about wanting to spend some time alone
- Talking and more listening
- Waiting for things to happen and take more initiative
- Feeling guilty about investing in things that will benefit me in the long run
