@Ben_S I came online saying to myself "Okay, if nobody else has done a New Yak resolution thread, I am doing one!" so thanks for taking that terrible burden onto your shoulders.
Anyway, hobby-wise:
1.) Not lose steam and actually finish the "all gangs" project by painting 9 Van Saar.
2.) Expand the "All Gangs" project by painting the expansion packs for all gangs (considering that's 4-5 extra minis per gang and the color schemes are set already, it seems more doable than last year's resolution, and I almost finished that)
3.) Finish at least some of my half-finished projects so I can theoretically field them as armies once in-person gaming is on again, that mostly means finishing
- Death Guard: 10 Marines, 5 Terminators, 30 Poxwalkers, 2 Bloat Drones
- Kharadrons: 10 Dwarf Sailors, 10 Dwarf Marines, 12 guys with flying backpacks, one Frigate, 3 Gunhaulers and that damn Ironclad which has been consuming my life lately.
- Sigmarines: It's a good 40 dudes plus a few assorted guys riding chickens and lizards, but I'm painting Hallowed Knights, so it's lots and lots of drybrushing mostly.
- Edit: MECHANICUS, I'm an idiot, I have a full battle patrol planned out and primed, so these guys need painting too.
4.) Play games. This is generally a thing I do very little, I mostly paint and collect, so I resolve to get a bit more into the gaming side of things. Last time I did that, a global pandemic happened. So yeah, here's hoping I don't damn all of us with my resolution to maybe play more than one game every two months.
5.) As a side project, actually find out how many Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines I really own and decide what to do with them. I keep finding stuff I can't remember having, so this needs doing.
6.) Embrace the hobby Chaos. This goes against what a lot of people said, but I figured out I work better when I have several projects going at once, so when I run out of steam with one, I can jump to the other. I started doing this around September, and it works well for me. It also means I often work on six or seven projects in a single day, only applying miniscule steps to each, but if I did not work like that I'd get distracted or tired and do very little on one project in the same time. I do not really have clinical ADHD, but I have a few ADHD personality traits, that much is obvious to everyone including me.
Non-hobby:
1.) Finish working on the apartment. I need to put a new floor into one room, organize a bathroom renovation my landlords want to pay for as long as they don't have to plan anything, get some new furniture, etc. etc.
2.) Once the apartment is finished and it's after summer, adopt a cat. I am still ruminating on the commitment of owning a pet completely by myself, but I am pretty certain the desire to have a fluffy feline roommate again will win out towards the end of the year.
3.) Travel. This is the reason 2 includes "after summer" as I want to actually go on a long, big vacation next summer, if the global situation allows it (I am allowing myself a fair bit of optimism here, I know). I saved some money by doing next to nothing this year, and haven't really traveled since 2012, so I hope at least a camping holiday in Italy will be on the table.
4.) Sports: Yeah, yeah, me too. But paradoxically, I need to gain weight again. I managed to develop semi-healthy eating habits in quarantine somehow, but then ruined all that with a lot of stress and anxiety problems, which in my case means I ate way too little and lost weight very fast, which is not healthy either. I fixed my eating habits, now I need to get the little amount of muscle and stamina back that I lost with my odd sedentary starvation lifestyle.
