I always still think of September as the start to a new year more so than January 1st. After all those years of a new school year starting in the fall, that time of year feels like a fresh start more so than the beginning of a new calendar does.
But in the spirit of new beginnings, I wanted to force myself to get some plans for the new year down on paper to hold myself accountable. This year I am going to forgo the typical resolutions (eat healthier, work out) and in favor of some more personal motivations. Its widely known that most people can't hold more than a few ideas in their mind at a time, so I am going to focus this list to only a few items, in the hopes that they are then more likely to be remembered and fulfilled.
