JeffsFort Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Yup, it's that time of year again. Time to look at the entire sum of our life and decide what parts of it we want to change. It's the same thing every year, isn't it? Maybe you want to lose some weight, maybe you want to get more exercise, maybe give up a bad habit or even pick up a new bad habit... Every year we all bring some form of resolution to the table and way too often, in a month or so we learn how many of them are already off the table. The last person that asked me what my New Year's Resolution was going to be just got a blank stare as a response because, I just hadn't put any thought into it. Honestly, I think it's healthy to consider things in life that we want to improve about ourselves, provided it's realistic. "I want to try to be less short tempered at work." Is a good one. "I want to stop eating so much junk food." is another that if followed through on would be an accomplishment. But aim too high and you are almost guaranteeing that you won't be able to accomplish it. "I want to invent a best selling gadget that will make me a millionaire instantly." Yeah, plan to pretend you never said that one by February. So how about you? Do you have a resolution you want to try to stick to? Do you think that it's realistic and have confidence that you are going to make it stick or did you phone it in this year? If you have one that you want to keep, what's your plan to make it happen? You never know, maybe your plan is similar to someone else's and maybe you both can team up and help each other. It's possible. So is the New Year, how are you making a New You? Or, is the old you your best you in your eyes? (That makes sense, right? LOL!) 2

JeffsFort Posted December 29, 2024 Author Posted December 29, 2024 I still haven't put a ton of though into my own answer yet and as of the time of writing this, I have 2 days to make a move on it. LOL! The way I approach this every year is by looking at what I didn't like about the previous year. What sucked? What was wrong? What I could have done better? What I didn't accomplish... and then try to decide to take one action to address it. Does that method ever fail, absolutely! LOL! So 2024 was a mess for us. December 2023 was the final IMAGINE Magazine issue with Comicality at the wheel. It's been a year which I STILL cant wrap my head around. So everything posted in 2024 was the current group. I've focused almost all of my attention on what would make Comsie smile, and still do for the most part. So with that in mind, I think I want my resolution to be in the realm of organization. Every month has been a foot race to get articles written or to get pre-made content posted and that process could be way more efficient than it is. I mean, my work flow in life is normally a chaotic mess but the magazine doesn't need to be. So for 2025, I want to improve my project planning and time management for the things that are on a schedule. (I give me until April to drop the ball on this one. LOL!) 2
