In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

My IRL goals are not very interesting or specific (sleep more; buy a desktop computer; exercise), so these will be about my AMVs.

First, let's look at last year's (AMV) goals...

• Make backups for all my videos! Didn't happen... I think I did like 2. It's just so boring and tedious :/
• Finish at least one video that I've abandoned. Done! That was Valley of the Dolls, started in April 2022.
• Do Festivids again? In progress :)

Two out of three isn't so bad!

This year is very similar:

• Make backups for all my videos T_T This is genuinely the most difficult goal but I have to try. My poor Tobirama AMV got copyright struck in 2022 and it hasn't been on the internet since! Not that I think anyone will really watch it from the backup site.... but the option would be there at least.
• Look again at some ancient projects and finish at least ONE. Even if that includes cutting it short. Done is better than perfect.
• Make at least three videos. Optimally more; I only did three in 2023 and I'm pretty disappointed about that. But I don't want to set this number too high and stress myself out; when I'm not making stuff, it's because I'm not feeling it! I know many many people do creative stuff on a habit basis but that doesn't work for me at all. The videos will come when they come. Still, there are things I can do to make them easier for me, or to come up with new ideas that might inspire me.
• At least two of the specific videos below.

Specific videos:

• A Festivids treat! I have the rest of the month; it would be difficult, but it's possible.
• Rock Lee AMV; this one is basically done up to the bridge and I have a plan from then on, so it shouldn't be that hard.
• Ghost!Sasuke AMV. I've been dreaming of this since last April... I swear I spent multiple evenings just searching for songs. But I finally found a song in December! I am so excited about this one. My ghost AMVs are some of my favorites, even though they take SO much work.
• Clean up and post the Dabi AMV, optimally before season 7 comes out so I don't have to think about new footage. (On the other hand, maybe new stuff will inspire me?)

I'm trying out being a little more specific this year, we'll see how it goes! I've slowed down significantly in the last year or two but I think this is still a very doable amount.
