what are yours?
it's a New Year - resolutions are the popular thing, but what about more of a Project with multiple facets in the new year?
Project Strive 2025 is my project. Instead of making wildly huge goals I have made a bunch of more reasonable ones as minimums and then you can always go higher. Build the foundation for bigger goals.
Outside of work and financial goals I have some such as:
-Cook one new recipe a week. And at least half of them have to be from my existing cookbook collection though, not online.
-Read one book a month - reasonable goal, and hope to break it for sure, but not putting the pressure on myself to read 30 books a year off the get go (something I did easily as a younger fellow)
-Explore more live music - living next to the most diverse city in the world equals tons of amenities. Many I use, but one I haven't is checking out more live music. Not just larger shows but smaller intimate venues, such as my visit to Arthur's Tavern the other week. One focus specifically here is on jazz - jazz on the funky tip.
-Use my car less and less, especially now that I have a Brompton and a Citibike membership. Been doing pretty well at this but want to continue to improve.
-Avoid Amazon except for Kindle purchases. Have started last month by figuring other places to get things from in different categories of products. For the first year in many years, I am not starting it with having a Prime membership.
-Drink less beer/alcohol. No beers on school nights unless it's for a social outing and keep it lighter quantities. Weekends are open.
-Take a nice late summer/early fall trip to Denver to see my best friend. A show at Red Rocks is a given. May see Phish outdoors at a crazy venue for shits and giggles. Not my jam when streaming music, no pun intended, but I have to experience the live version just once.
- Shop a lot less but look on things like FB marketplace first in many cases. Like now I want a table lamp. Straight to FB marketplace. The times I have to buy, look for used vs new.
anybody else have some Project 2025 goals?
