It's getting to be about that time again...the time when we reflect on our successes in 2024 and make New Year's Resolutions (NY REZ) toward process improvements in 2025. I succeeded pretty damn well in 2024, so I am honestly not sure what to resolve to do better (or more of) in 2025. I will, of course, continue: eating a 100% plant based diet, aerobically exercising daily, and boycotting all social and mainstream media (SMSM), challenges I was quite successful at in 2025.
I had the thought a couple days ago that I'd like to go to more local live music shows in Madison WI, where I live, in 2025. I'd also like to perform more live music shows - ideally house concerts, with my semi acoustic power duo GUPPY EFFECT - in 2025. I am not super ambitious or motivated about that, so I probably should not make it a NY REZ. But we'll see...
I'd like to have more formal and official date nights with my beautiful wife Deborah. However, I typically avoid NY REZ that involve other people, because I only have autonomy and control over my own ambitions. So the NY REZ in this case might be more like PUSH for more date nights in 2025. Whether they actually transpire is a secondary outcome.
I definitely want to make more income in 2025. Again, there are variables involved in this that are potentially outside my full control, including getting sufficient client referrals to keep my marriage and family therapy caseload full. This is confounded slightly by the two-week vacation "down under" that Deborah and I are taking to kick off the new year. I won't be seeing any clients while overseas. My fiscal year, therefore, essentially starts on 2/3/25. That's cushioned a little bit by the residual caseload of clients I will see in the first two weeks of 2025, before we depart. That will actually be a decent number of clients, and I should be close to fully booked, but I am not intaking any new clients until after the trip. I think I can also streamline my schedule a bit better in 2025, to optimize income. I'm going to tackle that latter goal in the next couple weeks heading into 2025.
I can't think of anything much else right now, so I think I'll end this post. If I think of any more NY REZ, I will update this post or compose a new one.
Share your NY REZ in the Comments and have a great day!
Fin.
