New Year's Resolutions

I suspect the fact I haven't got round to posting this until a third of the way through the month gives some indication about my desire to make such resolutions.  Although bizarrely in a way that's exactly what it is.

A number of my flist did the End of Year Writing meme, which in each case was interesting to read.  And I thought about it and decided that I wasn't interested in analysing my writing to that extent.  In summary I have posted 79 works (about 110,055 words as the final total) in 11 fandoms (thank you fan_flashworks) plus entries for sherlock60 and various comment_fic entries - which add another 4 fandoms.

Which leads to Resolution No 1 - keep a daily record of what I've written.  Although since I'm not interested in daily totals I'm only noting if I've written, say, my SFBB or other story, and will add the total when it's finished.

The other point is that I need to be more organised/disciplined about things.  First problem is that I have to be organised at work, juggling priorities etc - must prepare payroll details in time to submit them etc and in my leisure time I don't want to be forced to think at a similar pace.  Some of my flist have lovely "to do" lists for the week, which is brilliant, and works for them.  Unfortunately my brain says "long list, ignore it all" which frankly is unhelpful.

And so, Resolution No 2 - write down 3 things to do each day.  I can cope with 3.  Or at least 3 doesn't panic me - I may still ignore them.  At the moment every day says SFBB - because I'm aiming to write a few paragraphs each day.  And basically it seems to be working.  So far.

I have two diaries - one for each resolution - neither is needed for dates, because I use my phone for that.  Feel free to ask me how I'm getting on.
