Good morning peeps!
Here we are, 2017 at long last. It felt like December was trudging along at a molasses pace. It wasn't pretty let me tell you. For some reason closer to the end I just became a ball of brutalness and cut off from everyone. I made some things worse and that wasn't my intention at all... By the time we hit New Years Eve, I had come to the conclusion that I needed to get shit together.
I've never done resolutions before, nor am I going to particularly start with that trend, but I am going to set up some sort of game plan. Here are a few things I was thinking about:
- Organize my stuff - get rid of things I don't need
- Edit Agnus the Beast entirely for Beta reading
- Finish my short story
- Do some more freelance work
- Set myself up for success with eSports like networking with people and applying to game companies.
- Not neglect the household stuff (that said, it's not a sty. It was just messier than I like)
- Focus more on my relationship and set up a visit
- Be more active with conventions this year.
The thing with this is my inability to time manage well. I lose track of time easily and I really just need to learn how to be more effective. My goal really for 2017 if you want to categorize it as such, is to not be in the same position as I have been every single year. Part of the reason I have been thinking about this is because I'm incredibly tired of the same old stuff. It's also because I watched a Ted Talks person with regards to the topic of success. You can watch that here:
Finally everything came together after watching Unholytemptress' vlog on youtube. This is a streamer I've been watching for the last couple of years who has had her fair share of ups and downs. To me, this was very evident when she streamed because I'm usually good at reading people. The catch with that idea is that not everyone takes the time to get to know those of us that are observant. Anyways...
After watching her vlog, it wasn't that I decided all of this because of it. You know, the typical 'yay, its a new year. I'm going to follow the crowd and make resolutions I know I wont keep.' But her vlog was really the nail that stuck everything together. I was already down this road of change before these things, but when one is willing to listen, life will show you what you need. I kept stumbling on these inspirational quotes, videos, ideas, and it became a forgone conclusion. The idea that when you are at your lowest point is when you truly see yourself and figure things out.
At some point later on today I'll come up with some sort of system for all of this but I wanted to let you guys know.
Anyways, that's all for me! I have a lot of editing and things to do before the day is up!
Until next time.
