The System 761: Resolutions

January 5th, 2015

Or maybe just nap more. That seems pretty achievable.

I’d started making a comic listing my resolutions:

Read more
Eat better,
Exercise,
Travel somewhere new,
Draw more,
Have more fun,
Answer some big questions,
And generally have a better year than 2014.

But there wasn’t really a punchline there (not that having a punchline hasn’t stopped me before). But this worked a little better, and let’s face it. it’s all about doing more or less of something anyway.

Btw, if you’re considering any resolutions, a few thoughts:

Set SMART goals.
Don’t wait to know everything to start.
Don’t get discouraged after you drop off when things get busy. The important thing is to jump back on when you can. Setbacks are gonna happen, that doesn’t mean you should give up.
Tell your friends you’re doing it. They’ll keep you honest.
Fuckin’ do it.

How about you?

I think starting one change at a time yields a better chance of success.

I think setting realistic expectations will also increase success. Instead of saying I’m going to start working out every day, start w/working out 2 times per week and then increase it from there.

Also, I agree there will no doubt be setbacks, but rather than beat yourself up and give up, look at the things you have accomplished to that point. Give yourself a pat on the back for getting to whatever point it is. Then just start from where you left off.

One of the most important resolutions to give yourself: Be kind to yourself.

I’ll resolve 2 spoonfuls of sugar in my coffee.

It’s very specific, obviously.
It’s measurable: 2 spoonfuls of sugar, 1 cup of coffee.
It’s attainable: there is always sugar in the kitchen.
It’s relevant: I’m a programmer, of course coffee is relevant!
It’s time-bound: needs to be done while coffee is hot.

My new year’s resolution was to remember to make resolutions for next year.
