Goals and Resolutions

smallhobbitTime for me to look back at my goals and resolutions. And also to consider what my next set of goals should be. In two months time I shall have completed a year with the current goals and when I do what could be termed an annual review, it would be good to look ahead as well as back.
Goal One: Write all the things. The new pretty since last time:
I'm still two badges behind![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fengirl88, who isn't competing with me. I see her as a target to aspire to. This includes three new fandoms, and my latest, as yet unposted, entry for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fan_flashworks is for Call the Midwife, a fourth. I've also written 12 ficlets for 12 Days of Christmas; Secret Santa for lewis_challenge, as well as two roulette entries for their Valentine's Challenge; and a Spooks based picfor1000
Resolution One was to keep a daily record of all what I was writing. I wrote 12,432 words in January. The interesting thing is that I feel slightly sad when I see that I haven't written anything on a day. As I said when I made the resolution, I'm not recording the day's wordage if I'm writing over a period of time, but simply seeing a note that I wrote something feels very positive.
Goal Two: Learn some German. That fizzled out after we went on holiday. I have no great inclination to do anything at the moment, so I think I shall count that as achieved. Yes, I learnt some German. I could do with learning more, but that wasn't the aim.
Resolution Two was to write down three things to do each day. I suppose you could say I am keeping the resolution - although some days there aren't three things that need doing, but that's okay because the limit of three was to make it attainable. I don't always do all three things, but it's definitely helping, firstly by reminding me of things that need doing and secondly I don't end up with lists all over the place.
Goal Three: Survive a year on the PCC without getting involved in anything else. Hmm. I've said I'm not standing next year - yay! I've been told that I can still be on the selection panel (of two) to choose the new vicar, if I wish to put myself forward. A dilemma - I could say, no, no time, but if I want the right person shouldn't I be prepared to be involved?
All suggestions for next year's goals will be considered. I certainly want one to be something about writing. The other two are currently totally in the air.
