The 2017 plan

– I have part of a plan

– What percentage of a plan do you have?

– I dunno… Twelve percent?

So this isn’t much of a plan right now, but something made me not want to use the words resolutions or goals; resolutions just get broken, but I guess these are goals, and the start of a plan.

2017…

1. Calendar the 💩 out of it
   I use my Google calendars pretty heavily, but I want to do even better at it this year, without a single double-booking or forgotten event.
2. Bullet Journal the rest
   I started a Bullet Journal last year and found it quite freeing. I didn’t write in it all the time though, and I’d like to write nearly every day, if not actually every day. I’d also like to use signifiers and modules more.
3. Read Bible
   I’m great at reading with others, but by myself I’m terrible. I’ve printed out the Bible Reading Plan for Shirkers and Slackers and put it in my journal… now to actually read!
4. Lose weight
   So many reasons to do this! Including trying to avoid breast cancer and type 2 diabetes, stop snoring, maybe get some more energy, enjoy clothes again. I went to Weight Watchers all of last year, but lost very little weight. The program works, and I’ve done it before, but unlike last time I have found it difficult to make a habit of writing down what I eat, which is basically the key, and perhaps the motivation just hasn’t been there, or hasn’t been stronger than my desire to eat at cafes and drink beer at meetups. I’m really not sure how to make that motivation stick.
5. Work well
   That’s a bit of a lame one on the surface, but it covers a bunch of smaller things I’d like to achieve with work:
   • Figure out my baseline and do at least that much work consistently
     Or, if there’s a dip in my work try to identify the cause so that I can either avoid it or plan around it.
   • Be a powerhouse of support
   • Track and document
     Communication is a big theme in our company. I could definitely do this better, but also if I track and document things along the way it should make my communication all the more informative.
6. Blog
   I want to post regularly, but I also want to keep up maintenance on plugins and generally contribute to the WordPress community. All of those things I’m putting under “blog” in my journal and my goals.

What are your plans for the year?
