Goals for 2025

[ysabetwordsmith]

My recordkeeping is plain and boring compared to the artistic stuff that some folks do, but it works for me.  I counted 17 past years of this on my blog, this is the 18th.  Before that it was just the desktop version.

I finished my 2024 in Review post. Out of 61 goals and one blank, I met 58 plus five extra fill in the blanks. I did quite well, better than last year. \o/ Among my discoveries was that I really like seasonal goals -- those worked great for me, so I'm doing them again.

I finished making my Goals for 2025 list. That basic online list is where I track things I want to do, and mark them MET when completed. I'm off to a good start, since we hung the 2025 wall calendars today and the Community Calendar 2025 for allbingo is done and put in the links list. \o/

I also keep a desktop calendar. Since I write for the Llewellyn annuals, I typically get the Witches' Datebook free, so this is my desktop for 2025. I like it because it's spiralbound so it lies flat, and it has the weekdays on one page with the weekend on the facing page. Then there's something above the weekend -- artwork, a recipe, a craft, etc. This is where I write advance plans for things like recurring posts in my blog, events I want to catch, and so on.

Congrats on making your goals! The recipe goal is especially cool!

I also am really interested in the 2025 goal of moving poetry printouts...

It's been a favorite over the several years we've been doing it, and I highly recommend it.

I write a ton of poetry, which I print out in hardcopy and stuff into a paper organizer. When the slot gets full, I empty it. But I always empty it at the end of the year.

You are off to a really great start.

Happy New Year

That's a lot of goals met. I'm impressed!

Thank you!

In recent years I've added more shorter goals to spread out the workload through the year. I find that having plenty of one-day goals helps me get a good start.
