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
