It's never too late for new year resolutions, isn't it?! 😅 After spectacularly failing to achieve any of my five goals last year, obviously the only reasonable thing to do was to quintuple the amount of goals this year, and make it a bingo card. 🤪 So yeah, without further ado, here's my list of, uhm, "wishful thinking" for 2025. 😁

And, just for fun, here's the same list in randomized order. Let's see which one fares better at the end of the year! 😁

@njamster how are you doing the exact same thing as me?

I do admit there's some different things on my bingo sheet - also I only know what's on half of the fields

@substain Haha, yeah, coming up with 25 different things was surprisingly hard! Will you share yours here, too? 🙂 (Totally get if you don't want to! I just think it's fun.)

@njamster I can't share it, because my wife keeps track of it - and I've only provided the first 13 fields. The rest will be a surprise for me.

Along with releasing a steam game, there are some rather "boring" things (doing more sports, starting a sour dough, reading -1- book, clear out the cellar)

@substain @njamster May I suggest the only book i've started (not finished...) last year?

"Sterntagebücher" bei Stanislaw Lem. It's a bit of trash-y scifi put into little diary chapters that are mostly well sized. It doesn't really matter if you forget about the book and come back 2 months later :).

There was also a german public broadcast (ZDF?) TV series ("Ijon Tichy - Raumpilot"). It's good if you like goofy stuff

@shinyshinken @njamster I'll take a look ✨

It's not that I don't have books to read though, I just can't figure out when I'm supposed to do it. Maybe I need a vacation

@substain @shinyshinken I got back into reading (a bit...) at the end of last year with the excellent "Mistborn" trilogy. What helped me to get back into the habit was telling myself I'd read at least one page every day. Sounds silly at first, but there's no way you don't have time for that! But most of the time I'd still end up reading a chapter.

Then again, I'm a very habit driven person, so this may not work for you at all. 🤷

@njamster @substain Was about to comment "wouldn't work for me at all" while reading, then you mentioned it might not work :).

I have trouble building habits and usually forget them completely. As in, I will just stop doing them and maybe remember a few weeks down the line that I wanted to do them regularly...

Welp :).

GF is a huge Brandon Sanderson fan (Mistborn) and recommends The Stormlight Archives.

@shinyshinken @substain Yup, that's what I'm currently reading, about 600 pages in. 😂 Hasn't hooked me completely, yet, though. There's A LOT of build up.....

(Originally, the "Read (At Least) 12 Books" point was "Finish Reading The Stormlight Archives", but I changed it last-minute as I was afraid I might not want to. 😅)
