[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 8496319, member: 13703"] Not that anyone in this thread is asking for advice on how to reach the goals they set (and what I’m about to say is not new), so take this with a big grain of salt, but I’ve found I’m much better at achieving the goals I set when I make my goals SMART. So: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time Bound Doing that makes it much easier to know exactly what you want to achieve and by when. Vague ideas with no deadlines inevitably lead to me not progressing them at all as I can always do them “later”. The other thing that helped was then breaking the big goals down into small, manageable tasks with their own deadlines. Again, none of this is new or groundbreaking, but it definitely works. My goals this year were mainly about improving my health and I did a pretty good job of that. I managed to go from 95kg at the end of August 2020 to 68kg by April 2021. Since then I’ve maintained that weight while gaining muscle and losing fat by joining the gym and lifting weights for the first time in my life. I managed to rock up consistently 4-5 times per week for 9 months. So I’m pretty proud of that. This coming year I’d like to see if I can get a 6-pack (just to see if I can) and build more muscle. Gaming-wise I’d like to become more engaged as a player in our current campaign. I’ve felt like I’ve been phoning it in the last few months, so I need to stop doing that and get fully engaged again. I’ve just got a 3D resin printer, so I want to print and paint some minis with that. I also want to play or run a few different systems and run some games for my kids. So nothing too big, but still goals to aim for nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
