This thread is for small things you're going to do to improve yourself, either for the new year or just in general.


I'll go first.

• This fall was the first time I had returned to higher education in years and years, and will be doing so again in the spring. Full time student while full time employee, so I'll be getting some BAH from the VA. It was a hell of a bear, but after this next semester it's going to be be sequential classes until I at least transfer to a 4-year institution, so by summer I'll throttle it back considerably.
• I'm cutting soda out of my life, to a degree. I no longer have it in the apartment or drink it at work, although I do drink it at restaurants.
• Gonna try to adopt a "meatless Monday" situation, where one day out of the week it's purely vegetarian. I will almost certainly still use dairy products though.
• Finally, I saw this on another forum and am completely enamored with the idea. Take out cash money from the ATM(say, $40 a week) and use that for expenses during the week, like gas money. Take the remaining singletons/1 dollar bills and remove them from wallet and store them. Rubber band them when they get to $25, return deposit or save in your emergency cash-on-hand fund.

This is gonna be a big year, get my AA, move in with GF, Deadpool is coming out...

Get a decent, paying job.
Be less of an asshole.
Finally finish either a novel or a script (preferably both).
Make a donation to the Sanders campaign.

Quite simple for me.

• Focus on studies before working and teaching.
• Finish writing a booklet I've started this summer
• Lose 5kg
• Finish building a 3rd/4th unique social group

Get out of the house more
Attend more SCA events
Get a permanent job position
Try not to spend any more of Nitram's inheritance

Loose some weight
Make more sport
Be more confident in myself
Find love
Write and DM a campaign with my friends

Since these things usually fail, here are mine:

Gain 10 lbs
Keep doing the same job
Not go on any dates or meet any new people
Pay less attention to style and appearance
Drink more
Don't plan any more events
Stop learning piano and don't perform

Get a motorbike of some sort, plus license and insurance and other essentials. That's probably the only goal worth having at this point because it's the only way I can realistically achieve anything else I want to do this year, namely find a steady job and get some more IT certs.
