It’s Resolution Time, Baby!

I think this is the biggest resolution list I’ve ever had.

Like, ever.

But that’s okay. I think it’s important to make long- and short-term goals. I probably won’t meet half of them, but if I don’t try, I’ll never know.

I’m breaking this post up into two categories: Blog Resolutions and Day Zero Project Goals + (adding a few extras). Without further ado, here are my resolutions.

• one post a week
• some kind of image with each post, with every image being an original except images linked for a specific purpose
• enhance content by planning projects and posts in advance as  much as possible
• continue tweaking layout/header

• Visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
• Visit two new states. (0/2)
• Visit Beth and Ryne way up yonder where they live.

• Write a letter to myself to open in 10 years.
• Make a piece of lettered artwork full of things that make me happy.

Yes, this is a RIDICULOUSLY long list, but I only have just over a year and a half to finish my DZP goals anyway! I’ll try to post updates periodically as well as updating the page if you want to pop over. Check out their actual website if you don’t have a blog to keep up with your goals.

What are your resolutions? Do you have an exhaustive (and exhausting!) list like mine or just one or two goals?
