In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.
Well, I've said in the last couple of years that I don't want to set goals. I feel very much like I'm setting myself up for failure every time.
I know, though, this is largely due to my not taking any practical steps toward achieving my goals. Or setting goals that rely on unreliable people or situations. I mean, that's why I'm doing a campaign AND my legislative job AND a church job right now.
I want to say no, and have my "yes" mean something. My goal, really, is to create margin where there isn't any.
I miss writing. I'm missing out on things with my kids. I'm so burnt out on so much.
I need time, any time, to sit down and figure this out. What can go, what has to go, and what remains has to be better maintained.
