Part of what is holding me back from painting is that when I paint I try and get every mini to be "perfect". The result of that is I end up spending more time reading about painting techniques and watching painting videos, to try and find the "perfect" way of painting instead of just painting and improving through experience.So I think by forcing myself to paint 1 mini a week quickly (for me at least), it will help me log more hours with a brush in hand. It also aligns with my overarching goal for my life of "Progress, not perfection."The next 2 goals are about expanding my horizons a little more. For the last few years I've only read fantasy novels and played D&D. There are other genres I'm interested in too and it's time I made an effort to look into them more.The last 3 goals are about making an effort to catch up with family and friends more. I'm an introvert by nature, so I need to push myself to organise get-togethers with friends and spend more time playing games with my kids.Now to map out a weekly schedule that puts in time to do these things so I give myself a good shot of achieving them. I'm a planner, so I think setting aside specific time for specific activities is the best way for me to ensure I do them.</blockquote>
