Health:
1. Strength - I am weak. Quite simply put. I am a very skinny guy with barely any muscle on my bones. I'd love to be a bit more... solid. =P (besides, my g.f. likes muscle... as do most girls, I hear. ;) Now, I don't know a lot about measuring strength and can't exactly put a measurable amount on this goal except for an estimate by weight: I weigh 110 lbs. I'd like to be 120 by the end of the year. (I'm taking into account the fact that I'll probably grow some too... I'm not going for 10 pounds of muscle... that sounds like a lot to me... I was thinking more like 5 pounds...)
2. Flexibility - This one goes along with the previous one. I want to make sure any muscle I build stays healthy and useful and maintaining flexibility will help with that.
Art:
1. Voice - While I do have goals I want to achieve with the piano as well as learning to get comfortable with my newly-acquired flute, I figured those things would come more easily to me and I'll probably get to them anyways even without them being on my list... The hard thing that will actually take a bit of focused work is my voice. I'm in the school choir now so I'm singing more regularly than I was. But I'd like to sound good on my own too... I don't exactly have a game plan for this goal....... I'll figure it out eventually, I guess... Perhaps I'll talk to my choir teacher about it...
2. Painting - Well, as you can see above and in my previous post, I've already started in on this goal... I simply intend on being more regular about this... 3D is progressing quite nicely... I just want to balance my artistic efforts a bit...
School:
1. Work Ethic - [sigh] I don't have a game plan for this one either... It really is just "buckle down and do it"... I think this one will be improved, though, by the next one...
2. Time Management - I'm going to try and schedule my day even more precisely... Like, after-school stuff too... I come home and have my evening planned out already... Give myself a half hour of flexibility for whatever in case I need to run an errand or something, but at four my evening schedule begins... This should help me get into a working mindset more easily...
Personal:
1. Time With God - I know we all say this one every year... But I mean it just as earnestly as I did last year and the year before... And one can only just try again... and again... Regular time with God... Now, I think He understands that I'm not a morning person... =P He made me not a morning person... So prayer time in the morning will have to do... I'll do my devotional time before bed in the evening... Can't read first thing in the morning..... but I MUST have some kind of time with Him every day...
2. Stuff - I have a lot of stuff... in my room... it's ridiculous, really... if I'm going to simplify down my life, I need to get rid of all the stuff I don't want/need/intend to use... For example, for a few years, I've had this storage space that I tossed all the neat junk I found and intended to use one day... But now, it is clear to me the hobbies I am going to pursue and building stuff from junk is, unfortunately, not one of them. =P Therefore: toss the junk.
Ooooookay, I think that list should be good for now... =P I think it looks doable.... it looks a bit longer now than it did in simplified form on my notepad, but I'll summarize it here so we can see how manageable it really is:
Health - strength, flexibility
Art - voice, painting
School - work ethic, time management
Personal - time with God, simplify living space
Perhaps that is a little long... but I do have all year to do it... and some of the points can be put on hold until the school-year ends like the things under art and simplifying my living space...
So that's what I'm starting this year with! =) Bring it on, 2012! I think I'm ready! xP Wow, that didn't sound too sure.......... =)
