Resolutions. I somewhat dislike the concept of these. Especially New Year's Resolutions. I really prefer to set goals for the new year instead of resolutions because it always feels like there's a sense of progression, a working towards something instead of a rigid boundary that once you've crossed, there's no use going back for (which I think leads to the categorical abandonment of resolutions halfway into January). And so it is that at this, the beginning of 2015, I'm thinking of goals that I can set for myself. Goals for the short term and goals for the long term, relatively speaking. Some of the simpler goals I've set:
Spend more time doing devotions and take more time to think.
Read at least one fun book every two months. Fun books are books such as Gospel by JD Greear, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, The Reason for God by Tim Keller, etc. Ideas on good books?
Get more sleep. This. I feel like this is always hard to do... hence I refuse to resolve that I will sleep x number of hours a night for the next x amount of time. But I will work toward getting at least 7 hours of sleep whenever possible.
Spend more time working on creative projects. Fun stuff, useful stuff, non-technical stuff. Exercise the artsy side of the brain.
Do you have fun goals for 2015?
