Snowflake Challenge: Day 3

[llaeyro]

Day 03

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So I'm not one for actually sticking to goals or resolutions, to the point that I've given up making them. Yet, I don't want to cop out on a day of the challenge so instead, I'm going to give three words that I am going to try and live by, in every aspect of my life.

Do it now.

This phrase could relate to, but is not limited to, the following situations:

• Bookmarking stories I want to read.
• Commenting on stories I've read/art I've viewed/personal posts.
• Replying to comments.
• Replying to messages/texts/e-mails/etc.
• Cooking. Like, <i>properly</i>.
• Baking.
• Reading.
• Walking/photography.
• Ironing.
• Being the one to organise meeting up with friends.

Doing things now isn't always as easy at it might be. It takes me time to process my feelings about something I've read/watched before I'm really able to articulate them. Some tasks I'd like to do may cause me anxiety, which makes me want to put them off. For other tasks, not doing them is just the easy option. So, I'm not expecting to smash this goal from the off and keep it up. It will be something that I won't always be able to succeed at. Sometimes there will be other factors at play and sometimes it will be a case of choosing my battles. My goal is just to try and then, as long as I'm still trying by the end of the year, I will consider myself successful.

This is a fabulous goal.

Ooh, I really like that goal! I've tried to institute a "1 minute rule" for myself (via some self help book I read a while back), i.e. if it takes a minute or less to do, I do it now and don't put it off. I wish you luck!

[llaeyro]

Thank you! And good luck with your 1-minute rule, it sounds like a neat idea =)

That's such a great goal/motto! There are so many times where I can do something immediately, like comment on an entry or respond to an email/msg/comment but I keep putting it off until suddenly 2 weeks have passed. Trying to prioritize doing things more immediately when possible is definitely a great thing to shoot for. Good luck!

I'm glad it's not just me! Thing is when things get too far behind, that's when the anxiety kicks in. Thanks for your luck, I may well need it *g*

Yes! Do it now is a brilliant mantra!

I'd love to see more of you. <33

Thanks =) So far so good, I'm doing it now!

The one thing I'm not applying this to just yet is my two drabble series'. I've tried and failed to start posting them regularly again, so I am taking the time to get ahead with them both before posting resumes. I'm writing it now, just holding off on the posting x)
