How's your New Year's resolution going? (A trivial brag) [View all]

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?
