I wrote about this on my own Substack, but I think I've sorted out for myself that I don't like resolutions because they seem rooted in the idea of changing yourself into a better version of yourself, which feels a little too shame adjacent to me. I do really like to set goals and that feels different to me because goals (in my mind) are about discovering what *this* version of myself can accomplish. I'm not trying to *be* a different person, I'm just figuring out how to make more space to do cool stuff I want to do, if that makes sense.

I am usually a night owl and my partner goes to bed early to get up for work so I definitely understand that dynamic. I have been hoping to get into a habit of writing for myself at least 30 minutes per day but with writing as my main job, it feels so much harder to do it for my personal projects. Using your post to affirm this intention and goal!
