Most years my resolutions last until about 11:00AM on January 1st, but this year I really dug in.
It's nothing major, but it's a project I've been noodling with on and off for literal decades. It's basically a long list, the nature of which I'll disclose if you care, but at the start of the year it needed about 7,000 entries to complete.
I resolved to add at least 50 per day, and I've kept going so far, though strictly speaking I'm actually averaging 50 a day; some days I do 75 or 100, and some days because of work or other stuff I do 25 or even zero. But the average has held.
I feel low-key good about this, since I'm not great about sticking with longterm projects that I set for myself, at least not consistently. This one's mostly a labor of love, though, so I really want to see it through to he end. Just 5,000 to go, give or take.
How about you?

I didn't make any resolutions.

I mostly don't do NY resolutions because I don't need help setting myself up to fail, but I MAY get my desk moved by the end of January 2022.

True Dough
(21,838 posts)then you've knocked off approx. 1,900 entries so far this year. If you maintain the pace, then you should achieve your objective by about May 20th!
Congrats on maintaining your discipline.
Here's to nerdy perseverance!

It's the only one I've kept.
