New Year's Resolutions

[mk_tortie]

Mainly notes for me, and therefore behind the cut.


psychological - learn to be calm. don't read into things so much. find books on personal development, try new techniques. meditate.
relationships - spend time talking properly with friends. go away and look up things people mention so have something to talk about when see them again. be more tolerant around trev (don't get irritated so easily).
social - go to parties/other events when invited. do something with someone other than trev at least once a month.
fandom project - write something every month. January = Springsmut, February = Springgen, March = ?, April = ?, May = ?, June = ?, July = ?, August = ?, September = ?, November = ?, December = ?
- review everything I read at mk_recs for a year. including canon as well as fanon.
academic - do all reading. do consistent work on essays. spend monday afternoons in library.
cultural - see something once a month - play/musical/film/art exhibition - and read about background/artist/history etc.
performing - practice exercise tape and songs twice a week. rehearse at home for both german play and music theatre revue, to get the best possible performance out of it. spend time getting into character.
art - take photos of each season. make a collection of winter, spring, summer and autumn photos. actually get printed and frame.

projects:
monthly:

• do something with someone other than trev


• write an item of fanfic


• see something (play/musical/film/art) and learn about on top of that

How I am going to keep these in January (strike through when done)
