Day One

New Year Resolutions – love or loath them, they’re a good chance to try and aspire to something different.

It’s easy enough. A list of things I want to do more of and a list I want to do less of.

More:

• Books. While I’m delighted I completed the only book I wanted to read last year (Alan Moore’s incredible, Jerusalem) and I finished a few more, I’m aiming for about 30 this year. This might not seem like a big target to many but it will be very challenging for me to meet it.

•  Writing. Finish and release Metropolitan Fear. While I’m a significant way through the first draft (about 67%), it will take a lot of effort to finish this in 2018.

• Promotion of writing. It feels a little unsavoury, but nobody else is going to do it for me.

• Exercise

• Volunteering

• Family time

• Traveling (but in a good way)

• Sleep

• Seek to further the aims of my family

• Look at making a positive change to retirement plans (which seem like an impossible way off and may never happen)

Less:

• Unhealthy lifestyle choices

• Excuses

Wish me luck 🙂
