2026 Goals
I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions because there's nothing about me that needs to be fixed, but I do sometimes make little goals. Here's this year's + probably a progress log as the year goes on. If no one has told you, you can have fun goals!!
- Deadlift 130 lbs
- ★ I'm doing 60lbs for reps as of 12/2025. Is this a feasible goal for a year? I don't know, but I have low bone density in my legs so we're gonna shoot for this.
- 10 minute mile
- ★ I'm starting at 14:53
- Learn to play guitar
- ★ My mom bought me a gutiar in high school. I still can't play it. I need to play it or get it out of my house, let's be honest.
- ★ I'm starting out using Justin Guitar
- ★ As of 12/2025 I know 3 chords and have played zero songs.
- 30% Average Game Completion on Steam
- ★ I could do the math and figure out how much work this is but that doesn't sound like fun.
- ★ Starting out with a 28% game completion and am working on getting my Fallout 4 completion to 100%
- Don't dye my hair
- ★ I typically dye my hair a very slightly darker version of my natural hair color. Since going through surgical menopause I got a LOT more grays and have noticed feeling bad about them and needing to cover them vs dyeing my hair because I like the darker color. So we're doing a little brain reset.
Complete an HTML course- Completed 1/2/2026- ★ I'm going to work through whatever Codecademy has.
- ★ I'm obviously managing to get things functional because the site exists, but I'd like more than my 1999 neopets background.
- Complete an activity book
- ★ I acquired a small stack of adult coloring books when I thought they might be a calming activity to help me work through insomnia.
- ★ It turns out I will stay up even later to finish a picture and that I need to read a book to get sleepy instead.
- Finish "Recalibrating" Spotify
- ★ I mentioned on my music page that I'm working through a bananas spreadsheet of music to figure out what I like because algorithms suck.
- ★ I've really enjoyed listening to full albums! You know, the full work that the artist created.
- ★ I don't think getting through my list is physically possible. At all. That's not going to stop me.
- ★ I'm starting at 33 of 385 artists listened to. I'm adding more. Shhh don't worry about it.
- Read my physical books
- ★ I don't think I'm going to get through all of my books, but I would really like to get things to a point where they aren't double-rowed.
- ★ I hate dusting these guys. I primarily read library books on my Kindle. Why am I dusting physical books that I haven't read. This is madness.
My main takeaways from having completed this course are that Codecademy asks you for money at an annoying frequency, I am apparently an HTML genius, and I'd like to get more into CSS. I'll start closing my tags, though.
