New Goals for 2024

"Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual." - Mark Twain
Are these realistic goals? Probably not. Do I really mean to do them? Probably not. Honestly, I just wrote these for fun. Here are some goals I'll probably, maybe, do or not.

01 - Quit anything that makes me unhappy

02 - Join a club for creative people who are unmotivated to create but still wants to create but don't really want to do anything about it

03 - Limit my daily lazy time to 23 hours and 57 minutes

04 - Will finally clear out my overstuffed closet of one item

05 - Become fluent in staring blankly at people when they say something stupid

06 - Read more books by glancing at book covers and maybe reading the titles

07 - Finally read the Kindle user manual but only the first page

08 - Figure out how to squeeze 10 more hours into each day

09 - Stop lying to myself about being able to make better decisions

10 - Start a virtual support group for people who likes to procrastinate but pretend they don't

Got any goals for 2024? Do share them in the comments.

      Greg: #1 is okay but kind of hard to do as certain things you must keep on doing, like dusting, and chores... Don't I wish I can do that every day.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day

      Christine: I try to keep it fun but I guess some seriousness slipped in.

    No resolutions here. I fail at more than enough things already.

      i liked yours though. And 'might' even succeed at some of them.

      Elephant's Child: These aren't resolutions, more like suggestions. I don't make resolutions either. I might actually do them, maybe.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

    But N°1 is a serious one! 😉 (And N°9 too). If only we were able to do that.

    "Become fluent in staring blankly at people when they say something stupid"
    😂

    I also liked your Twain quote. Especially since I've given up on believing I can make resolutions and stick to them...eons ago.

      Roberta: #1 and 9 - too serious? Doubtful I could do them even if I want to.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
