It’s that time of the year again, time to make meaningful and meaningless resolutions with or without actual intentions to keep them, relating to go or something else, no one is gonna judge you!
Let me start, my resolutions for 2019!
I will start doing tsumegos again
I will gain at least one rank both on OGS and EGF
I will also finally try other go servers!
And I will also promise, that i’ll continue enjoying the great company of all of you splendid guys and gals of OGS!
Happy new year to everyone, let’s have an awesome 2019!
One of my correspondence partners said he wants to try and play one live game per day as his New Year’s resolution, so I joined in – and now we have a challenge going to see who lasts longer! It’s day #1 and a tie so far (we both played one game).
A neat idea I didn’t think of when I was running my club that another club in my country has found success with is posting it in local buy/swap/sell groups
Alas, my list from last year was almost a complete flop, due to the deaths of my father-in-law and my father within days of one another, my duties as executor, and other IRL difficulties. I have done tsumego in fitful bouts, a few weeks here or there, but nothing more was accomplished. So the list becomes the new aspiration for this year. But I have started the new year right today with an invigorating hike of several miles on an interesting and scenic “history trail” at a local state park.
I keep my wishes at a minimum so, come to think of it, yes. I wanted these things and got them done:
a) Every afternoon when the sun shines and I have no work, I go out and play basketball
b) Get my go project rolling
c) Keep the rest of my life more or less in the same direction of play
What I want this year?
a) Drastically reduce candies and sugary things from my diet.
b) Learn some more things for work and my hobbies
c) Same c as last year
Not easy, but attainable. Which is the point of long term change. Good habits is the right goal, imho. Radical changes and far-fetched goals rarely stick in the long run.
