I did okay with my 2024 resolutions. My main easy one was drinking more water and trying to eat healthier. I hope to cook more this year to sort of piggyback off of both of those.

My main goal, as it usually is, is to write and last year I did a great job. I am over 500 pages in my novel, which I have now decided I'm going to break up into a trilogy just so I can feel some sense of accomplishment and get this whole 'hey I'm a writer" schlick actually going. My goal for this year is to finish the first book, of which I think I have between 100-200 pages left to do depending on how side tracked I get and then spend the rest of the year refining what I got and looking for a possible publisher. I may also go back to a few smaller writing projects as well and start from there as well.

I think my biggest production killer last year was easily YouTube, spent way WAY too much time on there and mostly watching the kind of stuff I roll my eyes at when other people talk about it, so I guess I'm no better. My goal to combat this is to spend more time actually gaming surprisingly and catching up on movies. I have a massive backlog of both as well as reading, so I am hoping to put down the phone and close the internet tab and spend more time immersing my self in film, games, and books this year. My GF got me a copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and I also acquired a copy of Childhood's End. I think I will also try to read The Lord of the Rings this year, because I have surprisingly never done so despite The Hobbit being a top favorite book of mine.

I also hope to just take better care of myself now that I'm pass the big 4-0. I'm overdue for a physical and while I'm not going to be joining any gyms anytime soon, I am hoping to start playing DDR again and build my stamina back up and maybe shave an inch off my gut. Hopefully with my goal to cook more, I can get myself back into a healthier lifestyle.

Other than that, my final goal is just to get rid of some old stuff around the house and replace it with new stuff. My couch has been broken for over a year now, my car is over twenty five years old now and only works through my sheer force of will, and it might be nice to finally invest in a new entertainment center so I don't have stacks of movies and games cluttering up my space.

So those are all my goals for the year. I even made a Bingo card with some of the objectives on it.
