2025 New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals

[ysabetwordsmith]

Most people who like New Year's resolutions or other year-beginning goals will be setting them on December 31 or January 1. goals_on_dw provides a place to share yours plus lots of resources on making resolutions or other goals. If you have a single goal or a small cluster that fit in a paragraph or few, you can put them in a comment below that post. Longer lists or discussions should go on your own blog, with a link to that post and maybe a summary of your approach in a comment below. Visit the 2025 New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals post for resources on goals and networking with other folks setting their resolutions now.  You might also like the Fannish 50 in 2025 challenge, which is the runaway favorite.  This is a great opportunity to make new friends and find active blogs.

Snowflake Challenge

The snowflake_challenge is coming! It runs January 1-31 with fun fannish challenges on alternating days.  This is one of the busiest times on Dreamwidth.  Many fans post daily during this period to catch the extra traffic and make new friends.

Read "How to Hack the Snowflake Challenge" for ideas on planning ahead. Some challenges repeat every year or close to that, so you can do them early and just copy or link that on the relevant day. Among the things you can do in advance are:
-- Make sure you have a current introduction to use for reference in friending memes.
-- Update your fandom information in a blanket statement, profile, and/or sticky post.
-- Check that you have a fanwork ready to post.
-- Keep a list of your favorite fanworks to recommend, and a masterlist of your own to share.
-- Set some goals for the coming year.
