What’s The Plan?

And here we are, at the start of 2017. Didn’t that come round quickly?

As with previous years, I don’t really make resolutions. It’s all pretty arbitrary, the whole resolutions thing, so I usually choose to make plans from one birthday to the next, rather than the whole “January 1st is for new starts” cobblers.

This year, I’ve got some plans for 2017 as a whole though – although they’re not much different to what I’d laid out back in November.  However, in my head, I’ve laid some of these down as being “this year” instead. I don’t quite know why, but it’ll work for me.

So – what are they?  Well, in no particular order…

• Finances
  • Add a significant amount into the savings
• Work
  • Figure out what comes next after the current contract (I’m sure that’ll happen at some point in the coming year)
  • Learn some new stuff, because why not?
  • Launch at least one of the projects that’ve been in my head for way too long
• Writing
  • Complete at least one of the screenplay ideas I’ve started in 2016
  • and then figure out what the hell to do with it/them
  • Complete a book idea I’ve got, and publish it (for Kindle)
• Health
  • Lose weight (I’ve put some on over the Festering Season, and want to lose that, plus a bit more)
  • Do some training/practice walks for that walking marathon in September
  • and then complete it on the day

And really that’s it. There might be a couple of other projects along the way, but that’s the main objectives, all in one place.

Whether or not they happen, I don’t know. (Obviously, as we’re only on Day One)  But I’m going to give it a damn good go.
