2025 Goals and Dreams

.☘︎ ݁˖ 2025 Goals .☘︎ ݁˖

Before 2025 begins, I want to set some goals and take them super serious. 2024 was a year when I felt seriously overwhelmed even when nothing was happening. It was stressful and I still don't know why. There's not guarantee 2025 is not going to be a repeat but I'm going to try my hardest for it to be better, even if the difference is marginal. 

☑ A completed goal.

☐ An in-progress goal.

🖾 An abandoned goal. 

Top 10 Goals

☐ Get a job

What...
So, this one is a bit out of my control. When I resolve the issues with getting a bank account (I'm so mad this is still a problem...), I'm going to go straight to applying. Will keep you posted. 

 

 How...

I'm going to email my social worker to try and make an internet banking account and when my titre de sejour will actually be done. 

☐ Focus on French

What...

I've been slacking so bad since I took my A2 exam in July. It's hard for me to break through the current barrier and speak French but in 2025 I am going to try my hardest to improve my speaking and comprehension. 

 

How...

Specific activities I will do are: daily vocab, grammar exercises, reading books and manga, and probably join some kind of club for speaking.

☐ Health

What... 

Lots of little things to do to make sure my health is better next year. I want to wake up at 6 or 7 everyday and go to bed early so I actually feel rested. I have to drink less coffee.

 

How... 

I bought a little 'wellness' diary which has sections for what activities I did today and a little set-up to meal plan. I'm gonna use that to stick to my plan. I'm also starting small. Long walks instead of jumping right back into jogging. I don't think my legs could take it!

☐ My comic

What...

I've started and dropped lots of comic projects, but I want to finally make a web-comic that is a bit more long-term. I don't expect to get very much done in just one year but I want at least a few complete chapters. 

 

How...

I already have a cast and a general outline. I need to flesh the entire story out more and make scripts for the first few chapters. After that I want to decide on a definitive style and production method. Then it's sticking to a schedule.

☐ JavaScript and Python

What...

I'm mostly looking to finally get into JS properly this year but a little Python would also be good to have a better understanding of RenPy which I will be using for my visual novel projects.

 

How...

I'm setting a few small projects I want to achieve such as a dress up game. I also want to follow some kind of free course bit by bit over the year.

☐ Video diary journal

What...

I'm planning to just film daily life more this year. I probably will start around my 26th birthday though.

How...

I'll be using the camcorder my brother gifted me. I also need to find a place to keep all the footage safe and some DVDs to burn the stuff on.

☐ Maintain and update my personal site

What...

I finally updated my website and have a new layout. Now I need to actually maintain it and not just abandon it like last time.

 

How...

First I need to make a list of missing pages I need to add. I also need to make a Zonelets version of this blog on my site. I also have to add a fanlistings sub-page, keep up with the CDwORLD clique and also add a new clique based on dresses!

☐ Maintain my blogs

What...

I think I kept up pretty well with this blog this year and I'm real happy with the new look. Now I just have to update my fashion and anime blog. I think I may put my movie and music blog on hold meanwhile.

 

How...

I already picked out a layout for my fashion blog but now I have to customize it. I need to find a layout for my anime blog too and make it look how I want it. Want to watch more shoujo this year.

☐ Reduce screen time

What...

Since my phone died in November, I basically have no phone screen time at all and its amazing. However, I still spend a lot of time on my computer. I dont want to just spend less time but spend it more productively. No mindless browsing on YouTube, no window-shopping on sites, and so on.

 

How...

I'm going to probably use LeechBlock to block myself from YouTube during the weekdays and just binge whatever my faves are up to on the weekend. I also want to take more frequent breaks, I really need to rest my eyes.

☐ ???

I have an empty slot for a tenth goal in case because I'm sure something will come up during the year.
