For me

1. Start a cryptocurrency Youtube channel
2. Make 25% returns on my stocks
3. Have sex with at least 8 women (At least 4 7+/10 and 2 8+/10)
4. Get a girlfriend (unlikely tho)
5. Buy a house by end of 2018
6. Get a job (even if it's a part time Mcdonalds job)
7. Watch 50 films
8. Make 200k in crypto gains
9. Make 25% returns on my stocks

I don't think new years resolutions have ever decreased or increased the chances of any of the resolutions occurring for me though. Mainly just want to start a Youtube channel too most of all and be consistent about it. Also maybe change my 4 year old Facebook photo.
Will you be showing your face on this youtube channel or will you just keep the videos to mostly graphics?

If the crypto doesn't pop as much as I expect I would have to get a job... I have a finance and a liberal arts degree with decent grades so it shouldn't be too hard if I really need to get a good graduate job. Would prefer casual hours though.

I could see you driving a taxi.

I am quite an anxious person and would be scared of getting mugged or attacked. I have thought of driving an uber but every week I read of someone getting robbed or stabbed which is a turn off.

-Add more muscle mass and maintain a BF % of around 12.
-Continue to improve my cooking abilities.
-Actually consistently meal prep. I've become lazy in this.
-Control my stress, less by coping, more by trying to get to the root causes.
-Re-teach myself math so I can start getting into my prerequisite classes.
-Maintain 3.5 GPA or higher. This semester was my first in college, pretty proud of myself and I think I'll have a 3.8ish. Gotta do all I can to be a competitive applicant for graduate school.
-Maybe get a gf? Very unlikely, but it would be nice to connect with someone.

I'm approximately a 4.5/10. You can find pictures of me in my thread, the first page for the starter pictures and the last couple pages for more recent (modest) progress pics:

I just turned 34.

Checked out your pics. That last pic looks rather good, definitely better than 4.5/10.
Responded rather well to treatments... are you open to a transplant in future?

def going to be doing a lot of cocaine, and meeting lots of women at a house party.



Should be legit

No way that can't be legit.

I'm normally not the resolution type but plans have gone so off the rail lately that I need some reason to start again, and coming up to Christmas with time off, there's a lot of distractions obviously from being disciplined. Last December I managed it, but I was on a fitness wave which really kept me motivated, that's not happening right now.

I'll put some thought into it (and actually only writing this in an attempt to ensure I do so, that's the kinda mental contracts I find I'm locking myself in to lately) but when I tried to do this earlier in the year I ended up making an overly ambitious list of demands for myself.

One thing I wanted to do is set out 4 or so things a day that I'd at least spend 15mins doing. You may not even achieve all 4 but at least it'll focus you on regularly staying focused on things you're interested in.

Even playing guitar, I rarely pick it up but I can learn what I need to in 15-30mins and then repeat the same pattern over and over while I'm watching a film or something.

I also like David's idea of a weekly film, I probably only watched a film once a month at most this year, and each time was a monumentous effort of not getting distracted. If I used to have 4 hours free I could watch 2 films in a row without even thinking of it. Those people who feel some kind of binge-guilt on watching TV shows, have no idea how lucky they are! I watched 1 TV season this year I think and it was fairly short "Mozart in the jungle" and was sure I'd watch the remaining 2 and never did.

These people who are watching several TV shows weekly at an hour long each episode, as well as watching other shows on the side, dunno how anyone does it.

Also with music, I used to make a decent effort of weekly finding new music (not necessarily "new" just, related to another artist I like) and flawless songs topic in the off-topic forum reminds me I haven't been doing this.

Lol I don't want to make a long list but can already see it's not gonna work out that way.

If anyone's interested in that method of 4 things a day to spend 15mins doing, and they have a lot of interests (or just things they put off doing) then it doesn't have to be the same 4 things daily.

So you set up what you're doing for that hour, reading, organising things, etc. And even if you just spend doing that 1 thing for the whole hour or longer, it's still more of a success than having spent most of it refreshing the impact section.

IMO, people should only have one goal but stick to it.

That's of course ideal but for faux ADHD people like me it's too big of a task.

I need to focus on music production, that's the one thing I'd actually have to pick, I've been meaning to get skilled at it for a long time and just get disgruntled easily by simple things I don't push through
