I wanted a place to easily access, edit and share my ’23 resolutions that was also more front and center than an occasional post. So I decided to create this page, and add it to the menu. I’m going to do my best all year, so please wish me luck!
The original blog post that this page references can be viewed here.
Underneath each goal I’ll update with current status or progress. If it is blank, it is probably too early in the year and no progress has occurred yet, so please give me a little time. 😊

🎈 Limit YouTube 🎈
For the time being, I’ve removed the YouTube app from my phone and blocked YouTube so that it is only available to me on weekends.
🧠 UPDATE: As of January 7th, thanks to removing YouTube from my daily routine, I have been watching documentaries, listening to more podcasts, reading more, and gaming more. My brain overall feels like it's functioning better!
📺 UPDATE 2: As of February 5th, I've actually started watching YouTube on weekends (even though I had it available, I'd been doing other things.) I found it more enjoyable than before, and also much easier to simply let it go at the end of the weekend and move on to less vapid content. 😁
