I had laid out 6 goals this year\u2026 Let\u2019s see how we have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General resolutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Keep email unread count low. I\u2019ve been doing well on this one, mostly. Unread mail is a bit much at 234 now, but you have to forgive me\u2026 We have been on a 9 day holiday trip in Japan and just got back yesterday\u2026 But even then it\u2019s been typically 200 unread mails and below. Of course I\u2019ve also unsubscribed to plenty of mail that I don\u2019t want to read anymore\u2026 But still\u2026 So many mails\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Finish a khadi fatbook. Done that, and started on a second fat book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Finish the nerdforge sketchbook. Not done unfortunately. Made a big dent on that sketchbook, but just didn\u2019t use it much in favor of the many other sketchbooks that I have finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) Do art every weekend. Not exactly per say, but I\u2019ve done urban sketches everyday that I have left the house, circumstances permitting. That meant every single day after work, even if it\u2019s some quick train sketches. Somedays if I go out on weekends, I sketch too. But if I\u2019m with the family for example, and there is just no time, then of course I am unable to sketch. Ironically I haven\u2019t been doing art that much on weekends anymore, especially in the days when I did long watercolor urban sketches everyday after work\u2026 Because I felt that I was all arted out on weekdays already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5) Use the happy mail dot cards from sketches.n.scrubs. This I have absolutely not kept up with. Because I stopped doing as much art on weekends\u2026 For a few months I just stopped opening the happy mail because I just didn\u2019t have the time\/energy to swatch it etc\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6) Tidy up desk space – this I\u2019m pretty proud of, I cleared away all the stuff on my chair, and cleared some space on my desk\u2026 Although that is not true at the moment because of all the goodies I have from my Japan trip that is piled up on the chair. I didn\u2019t buy all that much this trip. But there is still some stuff nonetheless, and I have yet to open them all, much less put them away properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7) Write more\u2026 Can\u2019t say I did much of that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8) Read more\u2026. Didn\u2019t do that well on that front either. I mean, I finished a few webnovels. But \u2018proper\u2019 books? Nope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9) Use my art supplies more. Unfortunately, didn\u2019t do well on this front in terms of the variety of art supplies I was using either. I just stuck to the same old watercolors. Still have a ton of color pencils, brand new in box, sitting inside my cupboard, unused\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that\u2019s it for my end of the year check in\u2026 next year\u2019s goals? I\u2019d say it doesn\u2019t really change much\u2026 But that\u2019s for another post\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
