I started looking a couple of years ago, but I&#8217;m running out of time and options, so I have to kick things into high gear and make every effort I can. I tried waiting for someone to fall in my lap, but the closest I got was someone lightly bumping into me on the bus, but that wasn&#8217;t a meet-cute. (To be fair, it&#8217;s not like I didn&#8217;t do anything, I did pretty much everything I could, but there&#8217;s still some stuff I put off. \ud83e\udd37) One thing I need to put more effort into for this goal is getting in shape, which is also a general resolution, but I&#8217;ve already been working (dieting and exercising) hard at that for a couple of years with little success, so I&#8217;m not sure how much harder I can try on that front. Well, here&#8217;s hoping\u2026\n\t<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be more productive<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\tI have far too many things to do and not nearly enough time for it all. I don&#8217;t exactly sit around all day, staring at the wall, but I definitely don&#8217;t spend my time as well as I could or wish I did. I want to start fighting harder against my OCD (and FOMO and other neuroses) to help eschew things that I don&#8217;t think are good uses of my time to free it up to spend on more productive things (including a few that would help make me more money or just be more fullfilled). I just wish there were a good medication that actually worked and helped make it easier instead of having do it the hard way as usual.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s also other goals, but those are just regular to-do items as opposed to specific resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>In this spirit, I am setting to kick off the second goal by making a post to each of the sub-blogs today (this post counts for this one).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, by making these plans, I have pretty much guaranteed failure because exactly 0.00% of my plans come to fruition, something <em>always<\/em> messes them up (I don&#8217;t know why I still bother ever making plans \ud83e\udd26).
