Resolutions? Intentions?

Things to try to do or keep doing starting tomorrow, but not to get super intense about?

  1. Don't keep reading books I hate.
  2. Continue finding a quote a day.
  3. Create something each day.
  4. Either read an article, save it, or skip it— don't just scroll through.
    • ... but it's okay to skim research articles, or just to note key findings, without reading the details of every method used.
  5. Formulate opinions on topics I read about.
    • ... and practice using the different writing tips I've read about this year!
  6. Keep up with letter writing.
  7. Run outside when I can.
  8. Journal three pages a day.
  9. Breathing. Do it often.
  10. Get outside for at least 10 minutes a day.

By value (or, why these matter to me):

  • Authenticity: 1, 2, 5, 8, 9
  • Adventure: 3, 7
  • Connection: 6, 10
  • Challenge: 4
