Snowflake Day 4: Goal Update

[smallhobbit]

snowflake_challenge Challenge 4 is to create some goals.  Since I set my goals at the end of April each year, I don't intend to create any more at the moment.  On the other hand, I haven't done a review of my goals at all this year, and I had already been thinking I should do one, so this serves as a timely reminder.

Goal 1: Continue to write all the things
In fact, I've revised this, because I am cutting back on what I'm writing.  Word count wise 2020 was a good year, but I've tended to stick closer to what I know I enjoy writing and cut back on the bingos/challenges which are off my regular beat.  This relates to a change in emphasis from the autumn, when I decided to increase crafts and therefore reduce writing.

Goal 2: Do something new every month
Not the easiest of challenges, but with the help of story_works year long Take A Leap challenge I managed to do quite a bit.  The last few months (of which three will be in lockdown) will be harder, but I shall rely on FutureLearn to continue to provide some varied input.

Goal 3: Do some craft every evening when I'm home
Replace 'when I'm home' with 'not having a zoom meeting'.  That's going really well.  Even the last few days, when for various reasons I've been struggling a bit, I have managed to do some craft, be it one thread of cross stitch or a couple of rows of knitting.  And I always feel better for having done it.

And I've written individual blog posts for each goal so I can see my progress over the year.

The other goal I could include is my reading one for this year (at the end of the post)


In a month or two's time I shall have to think about my goals for next year.  I normally wonder whether to continue, but I think it helps to have something to concentrate on and inspire me to keep going when the days are hard.  I finish work at the end of March, so it may be that some of my goals change, but we shall see.
