Hi everyone! Saw the announcement and immediately ran here.

My question is this: do any of you have any goals that you've been actively working on?

For me, I've been trying to work on my GED that I abandoned a decade ago. Signed up for courses and everything.

Another thing I am trying to learn is more about Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and how that can help me learn how to cope with stress.

Finally, I have major ADHD so I've been trying to do note-taking in my day to day life. Started journaling, taking notes on Youtube videos I watch that I think are important for me to remember, habit tracking, so forth.

How about you? What are you trying to do to better yourself?

Goals! My favourite :D

Right, my first long-term goal is to get my garden ready for the spring. I only just moved in here, and the garden is pretty barren to say the least. But I have all the winter (southern hemisphere) to get it going.

After that, just getting all my spinning out of the way. I got a spinning wheel, and I've been spinning up my own yarns. There's an artist collective store that I might even sell them in too, so that would be neat.

And like everyone else, just improve my own routine. Cutting out Reddit as the time sink that added nothing to my day to day is something I'm sure lots of people are doing right now, hahaha!

Ugh, no kidding about the Reddit part. I'm currently in the honeymoon period of Beehaw so I'm a little preoccupied with it, but I'm sure at some point I'll chill out... it's very nice to not be mindlessly scrolling though, I actually get to interact on here.

Same, trying to do my part to not lurk. Not sure if people would be super interested if I just started posting yarn though. I might in the future though.
