I've never been one for setting myself a New Years resolution, or keeping to them if I did! Totally rubbish at that sort of thing!
The first issue was thinking of something suitable and secondly not getting disinterested of it within a few weeks and then forgetting all about it.
There are some 'habits' I try to keep to every day/week, but not without the aid of my organiser to keep me on track and to keep reminding me of things I need to do each day/week. My organiser and using my organiser on a daily basis is brilliant at helping me like that.
When it comes to which A5 organiser I'm using I do change between various ones, but there are still some in the cupboard that haven't been used in years or very infrequently.
For 2025 I want to change that, I hope to use all of them at some point in 2025 for about 2-3 weeks each to build up an opinion and report back on the pros and cons of each one. A 'revisited review' type thing.
I've not quite decided yet what order I will be using them in. They will all be A5's, as that is the size I'm staying in next year.
A5 organisers make up about a third of my total collection of organisers. There will be quite a lot of variety through the year given the different ring sizes I have and formats too.
Have you set yourself a New Years resolution yet?
Not so much resolutions, but since being diagnosed with Advance Prostate Cancer just two years ago, I have a laminated card dashboard that reminds me of today's To Do Today, in a list on top of a pictures of Charlie Brown hugging Snoopy, and Wallace doing the same with Gromit! Starts the day off well. Oh & the list is ~ Breathe, Dream, Listen, Smile, Laugh, Sing (even badly), Play and LOVE. Festive Greetings to All from Mark (aged 72 , with a birthday coming up in exactly 12 days) in Wiltshire
ReplyDeleteMark thank you for sharing, I myself am staring down the barrel of an operation in the new year to reduce my enlarged prostate - there's currently no signs of cancer (I have a PSA of 2.9). Out of interest how did you get diagnosed as positive for prostate cancer? And what is your own prognosis??
DeleteHi Anonymous~ happy to carry on communications, but probably better off the comments. Do you want to share your email, so we can correspond outside Philofaxy?
DeleteAnonymous ~ If you wanted to forward your email address to Steve ~ he'll pass it onto me. State that it's in connection with PSA correspondence
DeleteI can never think of resolutions when needed (at this time of the year) but when I come up with something I need to do I write it down and try to do it from whenever it first hits my consciousness.
ReplyDeleteI think there is too much about New Years Resolutions and we should really think more about Resolutions and ignore the time of year they come up in. It is about the better you so IMHO setting a single time of year to start them does a couple of negatives. First off waiting until the right time is pointless as you could have 11 months to wait. Second it puts too much pressure on you to start at that time of year.
So my resolution a the NY time is to not set any. That way I break it and move on to actually working on the better me .
With nothing to give scale, that could easily be a row of Pockets... similar page aspect ratio, I suppose.

I usually do it a bit differently than the typical New Year’s resolutions. I make new years goals I want to achieve, this year it has been move to my new apartment, starting a new medication, getting a dog and starting training my dog to become a service dog. So it’s not as much finished goals, more what I want to do in the upcoming year.
