It's only less than 9 hours to the end of 2017. We will be welcoming the new year of 2018 soon. Are you guys excited about it?

A common practice for this season is to make a New Year's Resolution. What is it? New Year's Resolutions are things you want to change or do in the coming year. Good friend and Steemian @jassennessaj is having a contest for this: Steemph.cebu New Year Challenge | My Steemit New Year Resolution, do check it out.
For me, I focus on improving myself and the things that I do, in all aspects. Some things I'd like to improve on are the following:
- Time Management
As a full-time employee and a dad, and a 24/7 Steemian part of multiple groups and projects, time is something I'm very short of. To be honest, I lack 100 more hours in a day to accomplish all my tasks without sacrificing anything so managing the mere 24 hrs we were given a day is a really difficult task for me. There are times I just burn myself out and choose to do nothing and be the unproductive lazy kid I really am. The coming year I want to improve tons in this aspect of my life. Not only to give 100% focus on the things that I do but to make sure I leave ample time for the things that are really important, like my family.
- Handling Finances
The salary I get from my work is not enough to support my family now. So I am really thankful that I found Steemit because it helps out a lot. It's my main source of income. Moreover, it enables me to help lots of people I know, especially my relatives - since I've already brought them to Steemit. I'm really thankful we're getting great prices the past week that it's very rewarding but I've realized that the more we earn the more we spend as well. It's a good thing my wife @haneun has me in check on the things that I buy. I was also able to apply self-control and not buy anything that's not needed like a Gundam, even though I can afford a Perfect Grade one and I want to.
- Be More Creative
I'm an artist. I also try to write. Overall, my skills or talents are currently rusty and needs polishing. I've been so busy at work and procrastinating that I have not practice the past few years and have not crafted and drawn in my usual pace. I envy those who can draw constantly like it's an everyday snack for them. I wish to do more, to showcase my creativity, and share it here in Steemit and other platforms.
- Focus on Health
I barely focus on my health, I eat whatever I want and drink whatever I want. I actually have a list of food and drinks that I should stay away from but I still consume them anyway, some in large amounts too: e.g COFFEE! For 2018, I hope I can discipline myself to take care of my health more, because it really affects everything when I start getting sick: my work, my family, my Steemit work, and a lot more.
There are lots of changes I want to see in myself and I want them to happen as soon as possible, if it can be done today then why not? I don't really need to wait for 2018 to make those things happen. It's all in the desire to make them happen, which is not tied to any calendar.
Maraming Salamat!
Thank you so much!

This great writing and advance happy new year..
This is the lamest new year's eve of my life. I just don't give a shit about the entire celebration.
Happy happy....
Why not? Is all okay at your end @sandrina.life?
I'm exhausted and disappointed by humans.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
True better we try and fail than not do anythings change it. This is a great post by @deveerei. @ikhizar Let us continue learning and growing that's what life is all about and to be grateful all the way
You are correct, things we want to do as New Year resolutions do not need to wait until a new year begins, but it gives us a reason to procrastinate. It seems that most resolutions are not kept and end up being on the list for the following year. Maybe if we only had 1 or 2 resolutions per year, it would be easier to keep.
For my resolutions, I will also focus on my health (a recurring resolution, so I hope to finally get this one done). My only other resolution is to improve my Steem content. Improving my Steem content will involve more picture and video taking, so maybe I can take care of 2 resolutions at the same time.
Same my resolution @johnwjr7 is to create more post here I will be proud even if they get rewarded or not and tp discover the world through steemit
advance happy new year lovely memories of 2017
happy new year dev
Happy new year Dev and to your fam! Thanks for helping the community grow. Goodluck for next year, I'm sure that life has prepared gifts that will surprise you.
Yes the world always is good in giving us surprises @monkeypattycake but it's up to us to notice. Too many of us are too busy to miss out on daily presents from the above
I think we all can do with being more creative! Here is to a wonderful year of 2018-- cheers!
@enjar @kishore1988 Let us all claim its a great 2018 for everyone. Happy New Year to you both
You can do it hubby. <3
Everything is spot on for me, most specially the time management part and being more creative. handling finances is okay for me, but I tend to give more to my family, I mean which is great, but I also want to invest. Maybe I'll start in June or something. And health, urgg, I thought I'll welcome new year ill bcoz I've been blogging nonstop as if there's no tomorrow. D:
Happy new year, Dev, @haneun, and to your baby boy! :) All the best this year!
I lack in time management too and how I wish we could have even extra 2 hours on top of our 24hrs daily to accomplish all that's needed to get done. Health is wealth, do take care of yourself. Happy New Year dev!
@deveerei I can help you secure an insurance and a real property for your financial goals. As for steemit it covers for all
