Resolutions?!

[superborb]

 I don't think I've ever set resolutions, really, but I actually do have several goals/improvements I'd like to achieve this year:

• Be more focused at work, and start working on longer term projects. Seek out connections to other colleagues to identify where I can help.
• Write more long form meta (and continue to resist forming thoughts in twitter length bites!)
• Be more deliberate about social media usage.
  • Be better about reaching out to people (both in and out of fandom), bc conversation is often more satisfying than mindless consumption.
  • I think this means I need to more aggressively unfollow people + curate, but it's hard bc people take that as a Social Signal... (I did finally go through and revoke access for people who haven't been on DW in years, not that I lock anything anyway. Just in case.)
  • Reorganize my DW/tumblr tags and either set up proper links between them or nuke tumblr entirely. 
• Continue to track books and media consumption.
  • Come up with some way to track my short story and long form news article consumption? (I currently bookmark the best-of, but it seems too cluttered to track /everything/ on DW. What to do...)
• Continue to actively practice Chinese. I'll set a goal of reading two cnovels to match this year.
• I discovered this year that the tidiness of my space really affects my outlook. I'll set a goal of donating the things that I no longer need (and so don't have a dedicated 'home') as soon as numbers decrease in this area.

I'm looking forward a lot to more of your meta! :)

Ah decluttering. Ehm.......... I will cheer you on!

ETA: I've taken to clipping a lot of things to OneNote, which is an imperfect system as well, but at least it's searchable?

I have already decluttered the items, they've just been sitting on the floor in a 'to be donated' pile for ages ^^;

These are really good goals! Best of luck with them.

Oooh, yes. I need to do this too.

Looking forward to more meta and media reviews! I have similar resolutions. (Also, hello! I remembered dreamwidth existed today.)

[superborb]

Haha, welcome back to DW!!

[nnozomi]

This is a great list! Best of luck.
(For selfish reasons I would love it if you felt like posting to DW in Chinese from time to time, but you may not want to cross interior streams that way...).

[superborb]

Oooh, I think I'd be too shy to post in Chinese, but I really ought to practice writing...

these are really good goals! and I totally agree with you on how fandom is more fun when it involves conversations
