RE: What are your NON resolutions for 2022 and are you taking part in power up day?

in #hivepud3 years ago

I am not a massive list writer, feel like I have overdone that in 2021... so there you go less time making lists, less time to procrastinate, as @steevc said.

Less procrastinating
Less bad snacks
Less worrying about stuff that probably isn't going to happen anyway
Less time in my inbox

Get back into some cycling
Stick to Gym on certain days
Keep up kayaking, something I discovered in 2021 and have become hooked on
Spending more time in better focused online communities
Music, hope to find time to explore more again in Ableton, VCV, Bitwig etc -> last year I got heavily into Aum

Ooh goodie some really solid resolutions and NON resolutions there!

I know what you mean about lists. I do have a goals list for each year but it's a short text list that I review fairly regularly and am allowed to change if the year brings opportunities or my priorities change for a good reason.

I also have a todo list - but I've done away with anything complicated and again have a very simple and short text based list.

I hadn't heard of Aum - so are you recording on an iPad then with it?

I like the idea of a goals list better and I may write one up, probably as quickly as I can and as you say, embellish it with a little more detail throughout the year. It's hard to know what the year will bring entirely, there are some certainties which I will blog about as they happen.

Have you ever come across Obsidian? I do use that for note making and documenting what I learn throughout the year. In conjunction with the Readwise app, I capture paragraphs and quotes when I see them which are added to my Obsidian vault... ok there is an article here, series of articles to post.

Aum, yes it is an iOS app (maybe there is an Android version) and it's more of a mixer into which you can channel various software instruments, apps that use the AU protocol. You can consider the approach as being "modular" to a degree. It's an addictive thing because I'm not a musician in the normal sense of the word, but I understand the theory quite well. There are a number of tools for creating organic rhythms, fugue patterns and a whole host of different things... another series of potential posts!!!

I hadn't come across Obsidian before but I'm checking it out now - thanks for the tip!

At the moment for note taking I'm using SimpleNote - because mostly I just want a simple text only note taking facility that syncs across my devices and that's it. I've used a load of others in the past but I found they always add more features and formatting that eventually make things harder for what I need - simple text only unformated text!
