Well hello Pixlpeeps! We are close to the end of 2017 and the start of 2018 and what better way to ring in the new year than to talk about all the cool things I want to accomplish in 2018. For 2017 I’d like to think I did well. I listened to every song in my iTunes library (I’ve since added a ton), I’ve hit my Goodreads goal, and I like to think I cut down on game spending but what do I have in store for 2018? Let’s find out.
Game Goals
Play More: this is most likely a goal for everyone here but in 2018 I would like to play more games on the consoles and on the PC. I already get enough play time on mobile devices because they’re on the phone, and they are quick hits, but I would like to play more games with substance in 2018. There are still some games I’d like to tackle and maybe some that are hidden gems that I have yet to find.
Cut Down On Spending: I think I did a good job of this last year in buying games in bundles, being picky about new releases, and waiting for sales, but there can be improvements like buying impulse bundles because they are cheap, and finding just cheap games in general. If I want to play more games I need to be more picky on what I buy…although I really do like Super Pug which is just a runner on Steam but the pug wears a freaking sombrero!
Maybe Thin Out The Library: I started doing this last year by giving away PS4 games to my cousins and I might do more with my 360 games. I don’t really need a bunch of copies of sports games and I would like to keep the big name games/stuff I really want to own. We’ll see.
Non Game Goals
More Gym Time: I miss going to the gym and spending time just zoning out while working on the body. Where else can you get a good sweat going, burn some calories, and listen to random music/podcasts/audiobooks? Plus you feel good afterwards especially if you jump into the pool after a workout.
Read More: Same goal as before but instead of hitting a set number of books, I want to read everyday. It doesn’t matter if I sit and read for 15 minutes or an hour, I would like to take time out and just read. It can be comics, audiobooks, or just your run of the mill story, I’d like to get back to reading and learning something new, or enjoying a new story.
Listen To Music: I already do this a lot but I would like to discover new music, check out genres I normally wouldn’t listen to and overall just enjoy music. I have a ton of music on mu iTunes library and get more use out of my Amazon Prime Music service. Hell its part of the package I pay for, I might as well get more use out of it.
Be More Active Here: This past month or so I’ve been lagging in replying to people. Sorry folks, that’s me being a bad member of this community. I need to be more active here because you good people read my ramblings, the least I could is read your thoughts and throw in my two cents.
Save Money: I really want to get in on the 52 week challenge or at least something like it. If you watch YouTube or follow the folks who are into sneakers, there is a guy called Mayor who has this thing he does called Water Bottle Talk. What he does is basically gets one of those Sparklets jugs and keeps it to the side. Everyday he empties out his pockets and places whatever cash he finds into the jug. Either before or after Christmas he opens the jug up, and pulls out crazy amounts of cash. Now he spends a lot so he has a lot of change, but he always says whatever you can put in the jug, put it away and save. I’ve been kind of doing this with random singles but I want to do more so I will try and do the 52 Week Challenge but I will just add the weeks up for the month and place that amount in my container. Anything extra like singles I will toss in as well.
Well Pixlpeeps there it is, my Goals for 2018. Do you folks have any goals? Anyways if we don’t talk before hand, have a safe New Year’s and let’s improve in 2018!
That’s all for now, more later!
