I am not a firm believer in New Year’s resolutions partially because I don’t believe you need an actual “new year” to improve something, do something new or even improve your life and/or situation.
I am a firm believer in setting realistic goals and doing your best to achieve them. It doesn’t matter if you don’t. What matters is that you took the next step to be or do something better. I think people get way too tied up in the New Year thing and immediately start setting themselves goals they may never achieve.
And the next thing you know, 2022 has arrived.
But if you do have New Year’s resolutions, what are you hoping to achieve this year? Have you started on your planning to achieve your goal or goals? What do you hope to do better or even differently than last year?
I am keen to know what everyone is up to in this new year… and I hope you are all well and safe and that your family and friends are safe.
Please get back to me in the comments – I would love to know how you are doing so far. 😁
My goals lose weight take more photos and total world domination. The usual 3.
Hey Neil! I hope you are doing well and keeping safe 🙂 Do your goals stay the same each year (obviously apart from the last one lol)
The lose weight one seems to have hung around far too long. Most targets I set myself I achieve. The last one may take longer.
Heheheh nice one 🙂
My goal is to provide free voiceovers on select projects this year, because last year I watched a shocking number of my favorite clients go out of business. Heartbreaking stuff… but if I can help some indies or small biz bounce back in 2021, then I’m a happy VO guy.
Hello there! Thank you for commenting 🙂 That sounds wonderful doing something nice for others is awesome 🙂 And yes, I think everyone is ready to forget about 2020. It’s nice to know that there are people like you who are willing to help others improve and do better – I think we all need more of that in the world 🙂 I wish you well in 2021 🙂
I told myself I’d start utilizing Twitter more to grow the blog. I’m not a big Twitter fan, but I know I could increase my reach a bit by using it. So of course I bought a book on it, and now I just have to start reading it!
That’s a good one 🙂 I use Twitter and I’ve had very small success with it in terms of growing any of my blogs. I would say Twitter is good for interacting with certain communities though. I have definitely seen growth in that area for sure. Pinterest is probably my most successful social media endeavour and that has helped my Star Wars blog grow without a doubt 🙂
Interesting, I’ll have to look into using Pinterest that way. I use it for my own personal purposes, just favorite memes and such, but not for the blogs.
Definitely look into it 🙂 There is a feature I use a lot where you can create a pin and link it directly back to your blog (you can search by URL and it will come up with a selection of images to choose from for your pin). It was broken for ages but it looks like they fixed it so I have been slowly adding more of my content that way once more 🙂 I will be writing a post on my recent social media anecdotes and failures lol and I have some doozies 🤣
Awesome, looking forward to it, as I’m trying to learn as much as I can about social media and how to tie it into the blog.
Yeah I fully support looking into social media and even SEO if you’re serious about getting traffic to your blog 🙂
Our collaboration post is up now by the way 🙂
It looks great! Thanks for the opportunity to collaborate with you, Julie!
It was real fun 🙂 I reckon we should do these regularly if you’re up to it 🙂 Maybe we could do one on The High Republic? I know that is your most recent interest 🙂 You could host it on your blog perhaps? Let me know what you think 😀
Sure, that sounds great. I’d like to at least read Light of the Jedi first, which I’ll be starting tomorrow, probably.
Hehe no worries and no rush we have as much time as we need 😀 Have you ever thought about doing a podcast for Star Wars? I am thinking about it currently
You should totally do it! I don’t know a thing about podcasting, lol. But maybe.
I only know how to sit in front of a mike and talk about what I know lol I haven’t done any of that other fancy stuff like adding music or any of that. I’ll do some reading and find out more 🙂
