Merry Christmas and New Years Resolutions

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and your New Years celebrations were fabulous. We never do much on New Years, we just go to our favourite restaurant in our town and then come home and stay up until midnight watching the BBC broadcast of the New Years celebrations in London.
This year I have quite a few New Years resolutions, well not exactly resolutions more like goals to be honest. There are many things I want to do this year and I feel this is an efficient way to do it. I'm going to have yearly, monthly, weekly and daily goals after being inspired by Alex Day's video about goals, having achievable dates will help and motivate you to achieve. As whenever I set out to do something I never seem to complete it. For example last year I was going to do NaNoWriMo but I wrote about 4,000 words and gave up. But I really want to actually achieve something this year and do something that I deem productive with my time. So here are my categorised goals (categories mentioned above) and what I aim to do this year:

Yearly Goals

1. Read at least 20 books - I've become incredibly slack with my reading over the past few years and not been reading as much as I would like to due to me being incredibly distracted by modern technology. I'm not going to aim for the 50 books that people usually go for as I feel that's slightly unachievable for me, but if I could reach that then that would be amazing.
2. Watch a film every week - I feel like I need to watch more films as there are so many good films out there that people rave about, in which I have to meekly admit to never watching it.
3. Lose weight (up to one dress size) - My weight has been something that's kind of secretly plagued me for a couple of years now and this year I actually want to do something to combat it.
4. Watch more TV shows - I feel like I have quite little TV shows to my repertoire (?) as I compare myself to other Tumblr users (Tumblr is where I spend most of my time, so yeah) so therefore I want to watch more TV shows.

Monthly Goals

1. Add new photos to flickr - The profession I want to go into is photography and I need to start building up a portfolio for university and for when I get into my professional career. And hopefully if I add photos every month then my portfolio will be slowly building and create something reflective of my style.
2. Start watching a new TV show - This is mainly to add to my aforementioned yearly goal and it's a good target to try to actually encourage myself to watch more tv shows.

(Of course I will probably add more to this in due course knowing me)

Weekly Goals

1. Watch a film every week - I've already explained this one but this is just to separate the yearly factor of the goal whereas this goal is to make sure that I actually do watch a film every week.
2. Make a vlog - This is something that I really want to get into and I will have plenty of video ideas as I'll be reading more and watching films every week so I can review them and stuff.

(Again I will probably add more to this category)

Daily Goals

1. Exercise at least half an hour - This is clearly to aid my goal of losing weight, so of course I am actually going to have to exercise every day. In addition to doing practical dance classes at college and outside of college 5 times a week and walking to and from school 3-4 times a week on top of that.
2. Read - Again, this is going to aid my yearly goal of reading 20 books this year and the only I'm going to achieve that goal by reading every day.

(I will add more to this category (obviously as that's the point of having daily goals) of things to do every day but these are my main ones for now which aren't really due to change)

I also recorded a vlog on this matter which you can watch here if you prefer that format.

And again...Happy new year :)
