Ironistic’s 2021 New Year’s Resolutions

This past year has finally come to an end. With the new year, it means a fresh mental start for my New Year’s resolutions. Knowing what we went through one year ago with COVID, I have already been reflecting and comparing where I am now and then. With knowing there is so much out of my control I think I’ll be setting goals that are small and bitesize. Personally, I’d like to focus on a variety of items and setting up routines and positive habits. One day a week: Meatless Mondays, exercise (treadmill, weights, or a sport if possible: soccer, hockey), and going out to eat. So I can check on 4 things: physical health, mental health, social fun, and local food. Professionally, I need to really carve out time to find a hobby that aligns with programming, automation, and/or VR or possibly AI.

A new year is always a nice way to hit the refresh button and take note of the things going well and the parts of your life that may need a boost. Professionally, I’m finding new podcasts, YouTube channels, and forums to learn about new trends, best practices, and hear about other marketers’ experiences. It’s an easy way to connect with others in the industry and gain knowledge at any time of the day. Personally, I’ve made exercise non-negotiable and so far, I’ve seen a major shift in my attitude and energy levels. Holding my feet to the fire on something that benefits my health will ultimately have a nice ripple effect in all parts of my life.

As our world continues to change, so does Human Resources. My professional New Year’s resolution is to stay on top of the new guidelines determined by a new administration and the COVID/remote work environment. Since I’m not able to see family and friends as much as I used to/as much as I’d like to, my personal resolution is to stay in touch with phone calls, texts, cards, etc. Human interaction is even more important during this pandemic.

A few professional and personal goals for 2021… Professionally, I’d love to improve my public speaking skills, learn more developer tricks and skills, and work more collaboratively with our team. Taking classes on Udemy.com can help provide guidance to attain a couple of these! Personally, I’d like to change my exercise approach to see better results in 2021.

Professionally, I want to work on time/project management and to continue my education on animated design. Personally, I hope to plan a stress-free wedding 😉

I don’t usually subscribe to New Year’s resolutions, but I have been trying to get up earlier to allow time for personal reflection and motivation in line with my faith.
