One thing I miss about last year's format was the easy opportunities to drop little reflections about the blog/process. They were explicitly built into the weekly updates (until I dropped those) and the commentary process also let them slip in sometimes. So, I established 3 resolutions this year:
1. Get my Chess ranking up. This one's gone nowhere fast.
2. Get back into exercise. This one has gone pretty well. I started the year working more on the Chess stuff and kind of slacking here, but this is the one I stuck with better the last couple months and have seen some results. This is mostly thanks to my wife picking up a fitness game for the Switch. The hardest part of working out (for me) is actually finding a good set of workouts to do daily without a ton of equipment. I have a Switch, and the game's got a couple dozen workouts, so that's pretty good. We even took it on vacation. After a couple nights on a rough hotel bed, I really appreciated having a nice long stretch routine. At first, I thought it was kind of cheaping out vs doing regular exercise, but the stretches were just what I needed.
3. I still kept the blog (I guess that wasn't official)
4. I thought I did a resolution related to memorization, but I guess that came later. I still have two things more or less memorized, but I'd like to pick it back up.
I really underestimated how good the format was last year for daily blogging/resolution. I got to say I'd do it every day, and it was a reasonable commitment, but it was also easy to front load if I knew I was going to be away. I think I said this before, but I'll probably try to do something more similar next year.
