jon_chaissonThe new year is here!
A few resolutions I have in mind:
--Make a concerted effort to minimize my social media habits. More to the point, to do a Twitter deep clean. I've been decent enough about minimizing my use of it, but I can do better...unfollow users I don't pay attention to, immediate-block trolls and rude users I don't know, and try to avoid the Trending tab as often as possible. And most importantly, to stop using it so much during my breaks at work!
--Related to the last point above: better utilize my downtime at work with creative things -- read an ebook on my phone, write notes for the MU4 project, write poetry and lyrics, that sort of thing. This is mainly for MU4, however...I want to dedicate as much time as I can to it.
--Related to work: considering the shop is eight blocks from our apartment, there's really no reason for me not to walk to work. Okay, there are a few: bad weather, super early or super late hours, and the fact that it's at the top of a hill...but I've been a bit lazy about it. I'll either take the bus (which drops me right out front but costs me $2.50) or drive up (which is really just a waste unless I'm doing some major shopping after shift. Working retail has definitely gotten me in much better shape, so why not continue that with a walk to and from work? It only takes ten minutes, so I see no reason why not.
--I'd said over at Welcome to Bridgetown the other day: on a personal note, I want 2023 to be a time for exploration and expansion. I spent the last two years cleaning out the emotional and personal detritus and building a better foundation, so it's time for me to figure out what's to go in its place. I have a few ideas, of course...more on that at a later time.
I don't have many resolutions to work on this time out, but they're all major ones, and I'm looking forward to making them a reality!
Hope you all have a wonderful and positive 2023!
