Two weeks ago, I made a post about starting my Groundhog Day resolutions planning. After looking at areas in my life to consider, I pointed out back in December I started a list of processes I might focus on this year. Today, we’ll look at that list and see where it fits in the six areas to which I had narrowed my thinking.
- Write daily
- Blog Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
- Run
- Cycle
- Swim
- Mastering Python
- Release books every X weeks (6, 8, or 13)
- Daily house cleaning
- Daily Bradbury reading
- Daily fiction reading
- Start a second RPG group
- Run monthly RPG one-shots
- Start a West Marches campaign
- Start “Atlanta RPG Day”
That’s the raw list. Most of those fit in the initial long list. In the shorter list, only about half of them fit.
Ordered
- Write daily
- Release books on a schedule
- Blog Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
- Daily house cleaning
All the other habit oriented ones fit becoming a more ordered life, but these are about interacting with the world somehow (the last is a CHAOS issue).
Multi-sport Athlete
- Swim
- Bike
- Run
These should be fairly obvious.
Writer
- Write daily
- Blog Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
- Release books every X weeks (6, 8, or 13)
- Daily Bradbury reading
- Daily fiction reading
The first should be obvious. The last two are best explained by a Stephen King quote, “If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have time to write.” Blogging is not only writing, but part of my author platform. The platform along with a release schedule are part of treating writing as a business.
There are three other categories I did not having anything on the list. I don’t have ideas for processes to be a better leader or focus more on woodworking. I can think of four for the last item.
Orthodox Christian
- Attend Sunday liturgy
- Following the fasting calendar
- Read the Scriptures daily
- Commit to reading Orthodox works 15 minutes a day (a diocese recommendation).
Next week, with Groundhog Day almost here, we’ll look at what one to three areas, and for each area what process, I’m going to commit to for the coming year.
Link to “who does the Groundhog see”? is broken. 2021 in the year, instead of 2020.
Those RPG goals are sort of leadery. See Mailanka’s recent thing on GM 101.
