This Means I Can't Not Do It, Right?

I'm (finally) posting my New Year's Resolutions here:


Things I'm Gonna Do in 2009:

1) Write a novel (eep!) - started that.

2) Respond to e-mails promptly - not doing too badly, but I can still improve.

3) Go to bed before midnight - um.

4) Eat healthily and walk at least four days a week - so far, so good. Of course, it's just been a week, but still.

5) Continue 2008's resolution of reading at least one original, not-online book a month - Did it in January, still need to finish a book for this month.

6) Read and do the work in Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice - I started it yesterday. It's weird how scary it is to think about not saying nasty things to myself in my head, like the world will collapse if I admit that I'm capable. Good thing I have the book, eh? Har.

Wish me luck, guys! I'll try to remember to do a follow-up post in December, to let y'all know how I managed. I'm kind of excited and kind of terrified. Which is pretty much par for the course for me, come to think of it.

Respond to e-mails promptly

So maybe I should make a resolution, too. "Respond to e-mails at all." *facepalm*

Anyway: Luck!

The responding to emails promptly is an eternally and puzzlingly challenging task - surely it's not that hard to just hit reply and type something already! But I fail at it just like so many others.

Good luck!

Hee. Well, I know you respond to some.... :)

Thank you!

Yeah, I hear you. I think it's that you want to write something long and funny and awesome, and it just gets too daunting (or intimidating). So you keep putting it off. But I've had it with making my poor friends wait months and months for me to say boo to 'em, so I wanna do better.

Congrats on making your resolutions, no matter how late. I usually give myself to January 8th, but this year I didn't do it and kind of shoved it aside. You're my inspiration to not give up. My new deadline, 2/16.

Good luck.

Hey, that's awesome! I'm very pleased I could be an inspiration for you. :D

I'll look forward to your resolutions on or before February 16.

I thought I had responded earlier and either I'm a spazz or LJ ate it... Best of luck with the resolutions! They sound do-able! *rah-rah* *pompoms*
