2019 Goals

rosensilenceI've been meaning to write this post since January 1st, and I'm finally getting around to it.
I don't do resolutions, so instead I have goals for 2019. These are in no particular order.
1. Travel more
I started 2018 still in Japan and moved back to the UK in April. Due to settling back in, finding a job and buying my car, I didn't manage to travel at all. Now that I'm back on my feet and settled, I want to travel again.
2. Read twenty books.
I managed to read fifteen in 2018, so I'm upping the challenge for this year. I'm tracking this goal on Good Reads
3. Watch 120 movies
I watched 105 in 2018, so this is another challenge I'm increasing. I'm also trying to watch more movies for the first time, instead of just rewatching old favourites. I'm tracking this one on Letterboxd
4. Get a better job
My preference is a promotion within my current company and office as it's a good place to work. If that doesn't seem like it will work out, then I'll start looking elsewhere.
5. Another 150k of writing
I did 185k last year, but that was with a few months of unemployment and more free time. I think that 150k will be a challenge, but an achievable one. I pledged this word count over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
getyourwordsout so hopefully that will help me stay on track, too.
I want to try and revisit this list at the end of each month and hopefully I'll have some progress to report, but if I don't, then at least there's another eleven months in the year to catch up!
