[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Challenge #4

Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals!

My goals fall under the categories of Reading, Ficcing, Poetry, Crafting, Health & Fitness, and Personal.


Reading

Two reading bingos. One is by kingtoken (here). The other is by garonne (here).

For January: one fic to celebrate National Puzzle Day (29 JAN)

For January-March: 11 updates on my BTS soap opera Ungrateful [Fridays + 18 FEB (jhope birthday) + 9 MAR (SUGA birthday)] Complete fic on 9 MAR.

Poetry

Write 52 poems. [I am using Jo Bell's 52: a year of poetry-writing prompts]

Read 52 poems.

Crafting

For February: Valentines for Happy Mail friends

26 collage spreads

4 jigsaw puzzles

Health & Fitness

Yoga or stretching daily

For November: 5k Turkey Trot

Exercise: MOTN (More Often Than Not=4 out of 7 days OR 16 out of 29/30/31 days, my unit is week or month)

Lose weight.

Personal

Eat fair trade chocolate [this greatly reduces my chocolate consumption and encourages mindful eating]

Put phone in kitchen before going to bed

With my fancy planner, I am going set a small personal goal a week. For example, last week's was 'finish year-end cleaning campaign' which I managed to complete this week. And this week's is 'mix essential oil into usable spray' but that will have to be moved to next week when more snow is cleared, and I feel more comfortable going out and buying supplies. One of them will be 'hem new pants.' And 'attempt to sell Minisculus' soccer shoes at used sports equipment shop.'

I like the poetry goal and the small weekly things.

(And everyone should switch to fair trade products but I know there’s not much variety and it’s not available/accessoble/doable for everyone.)

Those are all good and achievable goals. I like the idea of a weekly personal goal as well.

52 poems sounds so cool. I should start writing them more often, too.

Excellent goals :-)
Particularly like the poetry one.

many great goals, good luck! I like the phrasing it as "more often than not". also, in recent times I've started not allowing myself to bring my phone into my bedroom, and I think it has helped me with not getting sucked into reading/scrolling for a while. just found that bit relatable.
