Apr 29: How have your goals changed as you've gotten older? They've become much less ambitious. I'm less optimistic (or more realistic, depending on how you want to view it) about my abilities.
Apr 30: What’s a nice thing you did for somebody today? I played hide-and-seek with one of my kids.
May 1: Who made you feel good this week? A bunch of people on Ravelry.
May 2: Have you ever seen the same movie more than twice at a theater? Yep. I saw Return of the Jedi in the theater four times, and more recently I saw Wonder Woman three.
May 3: Do you still have toys, clothes, or schoolwork from when you were very young? I have White Dog, the stuffed toy I got for Valentine's Day when I was six.
May 4: Who is your favorite Star Wars character? Leia. Always.
May 5: Do you tend to be more optimistic or pessimistic? Pessimistic. I hope for the better outcome but expect that something's going to go wrong or that it's not going to be as good as I'd hoped. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

Date: 2020-05-06 10:37 pm (UTC)1. I've been knitting & crocheting for so long that I know what's easily doable and what's a stretch. I'm able to set goals that are possible but take some effort.
2. I'm not fussed if I don't meet the goals. If I don't work on an afghan this month, no one dies or starves or loses their home.
3. I know I *can* make time to knit. I don't dare set goals for writing, because there are weeks when I can't get enough alone time to write 100 words, or when my brain doesn't cooperate. But knitting? As long as my hands are functioning, I can knit a row or two. I might not do all the crafts I'd planned, but I can do *some*.
Before the pandemic, the theater where I took an improv class had an improv jam the same evening as my class, and the jam was another place where goal-setting worked well. My goal: get on the stage once. Challenging, because these were people I didn't know and who had more experience with improv than me and it was easy for me to freeze and shut down, but doable; I didn't have to be any good, I just had to get up and say something. Sadly, that's shut down for now, so I haven't been able to step up my goal.
