🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 2025 - New Years Resolutions? Did you make one in 2024, and keep it?

[TerryP]

Okay. I made one 1/1/24 and I didn't break it until the day after Christmas: no volume on my cell phone. I broke it Thursday morning so I could hear a notification from CVS that my prescription was ready. As it ended up, I didn't hear it anyway. They said it would be ready at 11, I called again at 10:30..

So, I'm keeping that one going into this year except it isn't a resolution: it's just the way it is now.

I'm considering one this morning. It will require a lot of discipline. The question I'm asking, "how much time a week, or a day?"

I'd like to write for about an hour a day. I don't know if it's a better goal to think, "five hours a week, but daily."

Considered, but passed to another day and time: an ASE certification. No real end goal in mind there; just to know.

I never make resolutions; I just keep being me. It seems to have worked out so far, lol.

Me also. @TerryP been seeing a TV ad about how long one keep NewYear Resolutions. It's the Friday two week after you make it.

To all our members here I hope you all will have a better 2025 then a 2024.

Turning the ringer/volume off on the phone wasn't hard. I know I looked at my phone less often. I also know I didn't miss, in the least bit, hearing the phone.

I wouldn't even try to make a resolution that "changed me from being me." It's taken half of a century for me to create this world I live in.

This is just like the volume on the phone. It's not changing me, it's just making things easier. The writing? Cathartic

Nope, no resolutions for me. Last night, I was in bed by 10:30 and have not watched the ball drop in years.

NYE has never held any importance to me. Some love it - more power to them. Just another night to me

I made one after I got sick back in October to drop some weight going into 2025, and not go back. Ive dropped 20 lbs and Ill keep going. I want to get down around 230 to 240 range and keep it off. Got 20 pounds to go for 240. Also excercising a little more (stationary bike).

I haven't tried one of those 'interactive' stationary bike routines. I can't imagine liking being in the same room. Then again, it's all about where you are. Without those rides I go a little bat shit crazy.

Oh no doubt, it sux. Part of getting my mind right though.

Oh, same here; more so than "exercise." The latter is just a benefit.
