I usually do not make resolutions. I can never stick them out all year. I read once that it takes doing a thing for 30 days to make a habit. So this year I am going to try that, 30 days to make a habit. Then do it again the next month and the next. Before long another year will be gone. I only have 3 resolutions.
1. Listen to God, do what he says without following my own rules.
2. Write something every single day even if I don’t feel like it.
3. Read every day, even if I don’t feel like it and by doing so read everything on my shelves that I have not read.
These resolutions are not as easy as the sound. Making my own mind shut up and listen is going to be difficult. God knows better than I do. I need to listen and follow Him.
Write something everyday even if I don’t feel like it. Most of the time I want to write, I have the desire to write. I will first devise some sort of plan listing what projects I really want to work on. Organize my writing and write everyday.
Read read read! I have several unread books. I have serious OCD about buying books. I see something that looks interesting and I buy it to read later. My TBR (to be read) stacks have grown a lot the past year.
So that’s it for 2018. No crazy commitments that I know I won’t keep, no empty promises to myself or God, only a plan to make some progress.
