   I'm writing a 2025 goals blog post. Then I'm going to sit on it a bit because my goals are probably too ambitious. Individually, none of them will be difficult. Taken together though, it's a lot. The gist though is doing things a lot more intentionally.
   
   How are you thinking about goals for 2025? I don't mean, what goals are on your list. I mean, how are you going about coming up with goals, planning them, holding yourself accountable for them, etc.

   (If you are not, or you hate goal-setting or otherwise want to shit on the practice, sit this one out.)

     I do goal setting a little more loosely, I guess. I have a running list of things I want to do, to accomplish, places to visit, bands to see, etc.

     The running list was a concept introduced by a speaker at a conference I once attended (long story).

     I didn't understand the value until I bought tickets by myself to see the Beastie Boys on my birthday. I even dragged along an ex-bf to the concert. If I hadn't done that, I would have never seen them since it was their last tour.

     @joy How do you maintain your running list? (And was that talk recorded and available anywhere?)

     @kingrat I learned something last year from someone who learned it from someone else, so I’m spreading it around too: do a More/Less chart. Less guilt-inducing. For me, that means more hiking, more cooking new recipes, more time with friends. Less doomscrolling, less sitting. Draw little icons/images instead of text. It’s just for you so it doesn’t matter if it’s stick figures or scratches - as long as it makes sense to you. This year’s has been up on the fridge all along, and I actually did pretty well.

     @Kleen I prefer text, but I like the general idea.

     @kingrat Text is fine too. The idea is to keep it simple. Whatever it takes, amirite?
