It’s that time of year again, the time when making resolutions is so very tempting. As I noted on the homepage, though, I’m not making resolutions this year. I’m making plans, focusing on the process instead of on results I don’t control. De-cluttering is at the top of the list. Right below it is returning to the healthier lifestyle I once observed.
I’ve already started by eating fewer sweets, drinking more water, and having salads instead of sandwiches for lunch. I also cut way back on salad dressing. A taste is plenty. The dressing doesn’t have to be on every particle of the salad. I’m also blogging on The Healthy Writer once a month about my progress. Or, if it works out that way, my lack thereof. This is my form of accountability.
I’m also starting a new writing project and setting weekly goals for myself on that. Because I love research, I need to build in time for that, which may mean not writing every day. I’ve never been a daily writer, though. I like having percolating time, letting ideas simmer while I do other things. I generally find I produce more pages when I do sit down at the computer if I’ve done that “pre-writing” first.
I made decent headway with whittling the TBR pile. In December, I read more books than I bought. I plan to keep that up this year.
How is your new year starting? Are you making resolutions or plans, or are you just winging it? How’s your RBR pile?
