What's Your New Year Resolution - 2024

Here's mine.

1. Not play games during workdays so as to to give more time to family. (Wife seems to be complaining a lot).

2. Not play games after 11 pm. (I have been abusing time sometimes even playing till 5 am).

3. Work in the early morning and complete by 3 pm (My current work time is 12 pm till 8 pm. We have flexible timing as in IT dept. But this timing prevents quality family time).

4. Take kids to the park during weekends (I have been lazy in this respect).

5. Complete everything on time (I have been delaying a lot of important non-work tasks due to laziness).

Well, my personal growth goals are:

• Lift weights.
• Be more productive in personal life. I don't mean with like a side hustle, but just work on myself and my environment (clean, read, do brain exercises, etc.

Professionally:

• Advance my career. I'm pretty happy all things considered, but I can feel myself getting complacent. I need either a promotion or to maybe make a move to a different field.
• Network more.

Hobby:

• Finish video games.
• Get another D&D group going
• Read more, no TV before bed

None, as I rarely followed them, so no plans for my own New Year's Resolution. I just make them whatever it turns out to be at the end of 2024.

Always say weight loss but it amounts to nothing.

So nothing.

Yeah, I told myself the same thing last year.

Here are some new ones:

-Pare down my collections so that I can fit them in the smaller house I'm moving into.

-Keep my emotions in check.

-Stick with the recovery supports I've been assigned, which may last years(!).

-Play a lot of games, not only video games.

-Watch a lot of movies that I haven't seen in my collection.

- Maybe read a novel.

For me cutting down on the amount of salt I take.

Cut way down on coffee and pop.

Eat healthier than I would normally.

I have to stop eating in burger joints.

Walk a lot more and drink more water.

@brimmul777: Coffee, even up to 3 cups a day, is reportedly healthy if you drink it black.

Considering getting really fat.

@mattbbpl: I drink somewhere between 10 to 15 cups daily. Believe it or not I still don’t have trouble sleeping at night,it’s just not good when you’re addictive to caffeine. I do have a small heart problem so it’s understandable that I want to quit caffeine entirely.

I want to have more patience when it comes to video games. So often I rage-quit (not during an online game, mind you). I hate how angry I get when I keep losing in a video game. It's just a game; it's not the end of the world. I know it won't be easy, but I hope to make progress in this regard.

There are a handful goals I wish to obtain

I want to rely less on dopamanergic behaviors to get through the day

I also want to lose a considerable amount of weight either by increasing physical activity,changing my diet or by fasting

I want to be more studious on my spare time to curb brain rot

To get more adequate sleep

To go through my backlog

To be more financially frugal

To add another piece of hardware to my cluster network

Read more books

I'm always trying to work on myself and if like to lose 65 lbs. I'd finally be back to around the weight I was when I was in the military. Other than that I'd like to be more helpful towards my family and especially my wife, I want to always be known as a dependable person that gets things done.

Fun things include playing more single player and mmos and actually cutting into my backlog a bit.

Maybe the biggest things of all are finishing my house and building a workshop so I can start my own business with my wife.

To take a satisfying poop. Did it right at, during, and after midnight.

Did you do a countdown?

I'm planning on worshipping Satan with more dedication. I'm going to make him proud in 2024. Some black candles, lots of sodomy and maybe get a baby goat as a pet.

Ah, I also had a massive healty shit, first thing into 2024. That's an encouraging sign.

1. To learn about paintings showcased by this artist, Miguel Camarena Art Gallery. I am a big fan of him, and I am looking to visit Arizona to see him painting live and learn to create with the same hues and textures.
2. To hold my exhibition.
3. Do as much charity as I can.

Take care of my health for 2024. Basically watch what I ate and exercise for 30 minutes a day or an hour at the least

Saving money every month which I have been doing but want $4000 saved by the end of the year

Finish my backlog of games if I don't buy anything this year.

Spend more time with my dog, he's old(11 years old) so he probably has another year or two.

For me, it's gonna be to get myself into shape and focus on my condition. I had two stints in the ICU (week each) in Jun/Sept and the second they put me to sleep and intubated me for a couple of days, and I can tell you coming out of that and being groggy with tubes down my throat was a horrific experience. They tie you to the bed so you don't pull the tubes out, and you basically lay there for 2-3 hrs.

Same goal I make every year. Make more money than I did the year before.

trip more

Do more charity work. When covid happened this kinda stopped so time to get back into it.
