Not a great start to the new year. I know I slacked off too much. I’ve been making an effort to use my 2015 planner more this year, and have been recording weekly goals in it. I need to work on discipline though. Having short-term goals is good, but only if you actually achieve them. And thus, I don’t really feel proud of anything in particular this month. Which, to be honest, is rather upsetting. I had all month to produce something and I didn’t. Instead I worked on a range of little things but didn’t fully achieve them. I painted a fair amount, but not enough, I started cleaning my wardrobe, but didn’t finish, I learned a song on guitar, but didn’t practice it, I knitted a fair amount, but haven’t finished it. If I were to pick something that I could be proud of this month, it would be a difficult task. I suppose the thing that I am most happy about doing is finally getting around to working on my current internship stuff. I’ve had it all ready for a long time but just didn’t get it moving. There is still stuff to do on that front, but I am proud I actually got it going, because I’ve been putting it off for a long time, which has been stressing me out.

Overall, a pretty pathetic month. This isn’t what I envisioned when I set myself this resolution. Even my November was pretty weak on this front. If i’m going to improve in any area, I need to dedicate myself to it for the month, and make sure I achieve something. Otherwise I’m just improving at a regular pace and the resolution means nothing. The pressure is on now, I need to make up for the previous months failures. February, come at me.
