new years resolutions: 2026

[Rigel]

A new year, a new thread.

What new goals do you all have for 2026? What did you or didn't you accomplish in 2025? I'll start: I accomplished my goal of releasing anything. I successfully released something. That something being an MLP fanfic to moderate praise and a few hundred views, which I'm kinda proud of. The goal for this year is similar, but more involved. I want to finish my book and publish it to the world, and make some money off of it.

New years resolution for me: Sign a new lease (about to happen). Get a job in my new city/state. Embrace darkness. Make decision as to whether or not to return to school in 2027.

I got my associates in 2025, so that's pretty cool. I also got to spend months with my boyfriend, that's cool too. I'd say 2025 was a cool year. Not exciting, but cool.

my plan this year is to finish refurbishing the exterior of my garage, gotta knock some trees down, and i  also plan on getting a zero turn mower hopefully before spring hits, gonna sell my motorcycle, and then i will need to chillax on buying building materials and other stuff that isn't maintenance related (e.g. auto parts and lawn care) in an effort to pool some money up before the impending economic depression

without getting too much into detail, all i want and hope for is to talk more to people (old and new faces), draw more, and, most importantly, be happy again. i will make this year my bitch

I actually succeeded at staying sober for most of 2025. It came back for the holidays but that's to be expected. forget Christmas. And forget New Years for that matter, too. This year's resolution is to stop posting in the international headlines thread lmao. Also no offense but maybe having a real place to spend new years next year would be cool.

i've got a few for this year, trying to stay realistic:
1) go touch grass at least once a week (30min walk outdoors)
2) journal at least once a week
3) finish at least 1 book a month, either audiobook or reading
4) be more sincere

go out to eat (resteraunts, fast food, etc.) only once a month. easy way to save a lot of money. just gotta rely on groceries and not just lazily avoiding making my own food.

mealprepping is your friend. i've been doing it for years because god it loving sucks having to constantly 1) decide what to eat 2) cook it and i find i'm waaaay less likely to make bad food choices if i just prep everything for the week at the start of the week. on mealprep days where i'm feeling like a lazy forget i'll pick up a couple of those kevin's premade meal things from target or lidl or wherever im getting groceries and just put them over rice and stick them in the freezer/fridge (which is what i did this week with their coconut curry flavor). takes like 10 minutes tops and despite being premade food (and thus a little more expensive than cooking from scratch) they're honestly not that bad

Slow down. I had a cumulative $140k in medical procedures and testing done in the past two years. It's felt like one thing after another. I maxed out my deductible two years in a row
