here we go again (alternatively, 2021 goals)
it's true that i burned out halfway through 2020 despite all the time i had on hand, no denying! this is an attempt to roadmap how i want my 2021 to be, despite everything. before i get to that, i'd like to reflect on a few things that happened in 2020, progression or regression.
2020 roundup
> logged 27 films on letterboxd
> read 39 books on goodreads (at least a dozen of which are manga volumes lol)
> mitski is my top artist on spotify
> made an anilist in an attempt to organize my animanga consumption
> reorganized my listo
> wrote 4 fics, two which are still ongoing, the other two completed
> acquired new interests (danmei/baihe, genshin) and reacquainted myself with old ones (hq, free!)
> big showcase i was a part of is cancelled due to the pandemic
> moved back home and took a leave of absence for semester 5 due to financial strain
> rotted at home for a full semester because i'm depressed of not going to school and i feel alone in my hometown. yay!
> learned how to digitally draw on my mom's ancient ipad and juni's borrowed icloud account for procreate
> my laptop's bluetooth hardware is fucked
now, onto 2021 goals
writing
> be more consistent in writing, at least a few words a day
> or, write less but be more substantive and/or impactful
> write at least one fic for each of my interests
> finish current WIPs! (the ones already up on ao3)
> open writing commissions
art
> sketch or doodle once every day, digitally or traditionally
> develop a style that i'm satisfied enough with
> experiment with colors (maybe with shadows/highlights)
> actually use the art tips i bookmarked lol
> look for a lot of references
consumption
> mindfulness, moderation, mindfulness, moderation
> some things are enough to just enjoy, no need for analysis
> but do bear in mind: what is the output?
> at least 3-4 books/novels a month
> at least 3 films a month
> new music each week
> with animanga...just go wild baby♥︎
personal
> rest my eyes early, readjust prescription when there's chance and money
> don't hesitate to go after opportunities, if anything be more proactive
> keep looking and applying for jobs, any will do
> sell what i can, tangible (my merch, my work) or intangible
> reconnect with people, opportunities could arise
> offer my services and take up jobs i'm able to do
> praxis, however i can apply it in my life
> journal more, on notebooks or on here, it's evidently helped rerouting my brain
> get therapy! cheap online counseling will do!
> learn new languages (shortlisted: relearning german, beginner chinese)
