New Goals for Year Seven

[smallhobbit]

I find it hard to realise that this will be the seventh year I've set myself goals.  However, it seems to be working, and 'if it ain't broke, don't mend it!'


Goal No 1 - Continue to write all the things

Because I still find it helpful to remind myself that it's good to try new genres, pairings, fandoms.  Partway through the past year I began writing a monthly blog post on my writing, and I intend to continue with it.


Goal No 2 - Do something new every month

I've had this in the past, but decided against it for last year, not wanting to push myself into always looking for something new.  But it isn't a bad idea, even if some months the new thing isn't very big.  Plus continuing with FutureLearn courses will ensure I'm still learning new things, if nothing else.


Goal No 3 - Do some craft every evening when I'm home

For the moment, this will be cross stitch, but my aim is to finish it by the end of the summer and I'd like to keep the habit up.  Obviously, this isn't practical on evenings when I'm out, but otherwise I'd like to continue to work on crafts.

It's good to have goals.

I'm struggling a bit right now with everything that's going on and even failing to do things that I really enjoy, like writing. Your post has me reconsidering things so thank you! ♥

[smallhobbit]

Definitely. I'm delighted my post has helped you a little :)

Tell me more about FutureLearn please? And I look forward to seeing what new things you come up with and tackle this year. :)

FutureLearn (www.futurelearn.com) is a UK based but international online provider of short MOOC courses. They cover all sorts of areas, from those I'm interested in, history, creative arts, literature, through to business, sciences, and healthcare amongst others. The courses are free to follow, although you can subscribe which gives longer access and the ability to gain certificates. The courses are run by universities and equivalent specialised organisations from around the world, and participants come from all over the world. If you have a look I'm sure you would find something you were interested in.

Impressed with challenges set:-)
I have slipped a bit with writing...hope to get back into it soon, but have returned to familiar crafts:-)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.

I think different things work at different times - you're certainly busy with your crafts, and given what else you're dealing with at the moment, then enjoying your beautiful crafts makes sense to me. And you'll come back to the writing, I'm sure :)

I'm still very impressed by this and thinking about how to do the same myself. Well done! M.

Thank you very much. For me the key is to go with something which will be a bit of a challenge but should be attainable.

Good luck with the goals, I'm sure you'll have no difficulty following them through:)

Thank you very much. It's very kind of you to say so.
