I was meant to write this ages ago, I was also meant to have this blog set up and ready months ago. I mean, it’s a new year and I’m still as much of a procrastinator as ever. So note to self… don’t bother putting ‘Stop procrastinating’ as a new years resolution as we already know I’m not going to be able to stick to it.
I like to see these resolutions as more of a plan, a set of goals throughout the year and these can be as small as finally getting around to watching Breaking Bad to as big as traveling the world. Nothing is too big or too small to get on the list. And if I get something started but don’t see it through then it’s still progress.
It’s also a nice time to reflect. December and January for me is a time to think, reflect and look to the future. I sometimes think that I haven’t achieved much or that I haven’t done as much as I’d like to but it’s good to remember the things you have done. For example I did a 12 hour charity convoy on Euro Truck Simulator 2 raising money and awareness for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, joined The Mess Hall and got partnered with Binx.TV.
My main goals for the year involve my health, my stream, my finance and my family. In short I want to improve my mental and physical health, I want to stream more and make my stream bigger and better, I want to pay off some debt and save up and I want to spend quality time with my family.
So here’s a list of goals:
1) Get on top of my finances – which involves paying off debt and saving up. Also will use some of the money I save on buying a proper gaming PC.
2) Sort my health out. Suffering with various mental health issues I sometimes find this hard to manage. Also my physical health has gone down hill so I want to get healthier and fitter. I’ve signed up to do 2020 Race For Life which should give me goals and regular exercise in the lead up to it which hopefully should help me out. And I think that by improving my physical health it will help me with some of my mental health problems.
3) Learn sign language… this has been on my list since I was about 14 years old so maybe this year will be the year I finally do it.
4) Learn a language (other than sign language). I would love to learn Spanish, French and Romanian. Spanish because I love the language, it’s so beautiful. French because I learnt a bit at school and would love the develop that knowledge further and Romanian because I work with a lot of Romanians and would like to learn the language that they speak.
5) Go to TwitchCon in Amsterdam or even better in America.
6) Go to New Zealand. My brother moved out there a few years back and I would love to go there and spend quality time with him and his wife, have him spend quality time with my son and also enjoy this beautiful country I hear so much about.
7) Travel to and around Australia. Like this is totally not going to happen and comes as less of a priority as New Zealand but… you never know. Like I said… if you wanna do it, bung it on the list!
8) Stream more regularly. Maybe get in to a set routine with it.
9) Do some video making. This is something my son wants to do and something that I want to do so we are in the process of sorting this for my Youtube channel (more information on this soon)
10) Write. I have a story that I want to write. I also want to blog regularly.
There’s probably more but I can’t remember. But I’m interested to know what other peoples goals and resolutions are.
Catch you soon!
