New year's Resolutions for 2026

[springsodas]

Mental Health and Self-Improvement

• Ween myself off my social media addiction by limiting the amount of time I spend on sites like Tumblr
• If I am going to be online, stick to slower websites like Dreamwidth (soooo much less stressful)
• Work on eating healthier and getting some exercise through daily walks
• Clean and organize my bedroom
• Be more involved in cleaning the house in general and taking care of the dogs
• Work on getting my learner's permit and then my driver's license
• Plan short solo outings to wherever to build confidence (ex: the movie theater)
• Improve my attention span (My phone is going in the OTHER ROOM, damn it)

Skills

• Learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript
• Do more focused art studies (major areas I wanna improve in are backgrounds, vehicles, and other manmade objects.)
• Practice writing

Projects

• Design my avatar/mascot
• Put together my website on Neocities
• Plan/outline my TMNT fan iteration
• Make reference sheets for all of the major characters for said fan iteration

Just for fun!

• Get back into reading books (will help with the attention span issue)
• Make even a small dent in my massive gaming backlog on both Switch and PC
• Read more of the TMNT comics (I've made some small progress with IDW, but I still have so much to read between that, Mirage, and possibly Archie if I'm up to it.)
• Hunt down some emulators so I can play some of the old Playstation/Playstion 2/Gamecube/PC games from my childhood
