+title: "2022: new year new me or something"

+
+Soooo we are starting a new year. I usually don't do new year resolutions but I
+am at a point in my life where I actually have to do something with my life or
+it is going to be bad.
+
+So, December ended with some intense emotional turmoil, I had to cut off the
+connection which I had with a friend who is very dear to me (after like, 5 years
+of basically being non-stop in each other's lives.)
+
+I think using this year to improve myself or something might be what I need
+right now to avoid just giving up in the fight with my depression.
+
+So, without any further ado...
+
+## Stuff I want to do/achieve in 2022.
+
+### Weight loss.
+
+I am currently around 110kg @ 183cm. I don't look too bad, but I would like to
+at least get into the two digits category.
+
+I ordered a 2200 kcal box diet for two weeks (starting tomorrow), to see if I
+like it (I actually don't like a lot of food and I'm hoping that I can widen my
+horizons by doing this, while also eating healthily).
+
+I am way too lazy/depressed to cook for myself right now, so this is a stop-gap
+solution until I get better.
+
+I would also like to get back to playing Ring Fit Adventure on my Switch, to get
+some movement without having to go anywhere.
+
+* **Minimal goal:** get under 100kg (so, around 0.5kg per week)  
+* **Unrealistic goal:** get to 85kg, but that will probably take a bit longer
+*if I want do it in a healthy manner.
+
+### Keeping my room clean.
+
+This is simple, but I always have trouble with it. I am writing this post during
+a break from tidying up my room. Once I get it clean I want to focus on not
+making a mess.
+
+The way I intend to do it is:
+
+1. Try to clean up after myself immediately.
+2. Designate a 10 minute cleaning time every day.
+3. Designate a 30 minute cleaning time every week.
+
+### Streaming/content creation.
+
+I have taken up streaming recently, and it seems fun but this year I want to
+actually make it a real thing. I want to make some nice layouts for Twitch,
+create a schedule, stream Animal Crossing and then cut the recordings up for
+YouTube, so I can use their discovery algorithms to maybe find some people who
+will watch me.
+
+I also want to start planning my streams, and actively finding some stuff to
+talk about during these streams, so that there's some value in there besides the
+gameplay (which, admittedly, is not my strong side.)
+
+I wanna play Animal Crossing, BOTW and maybe Minecraft. I think I'll set up a
+schedule that'll look something like: Mondays 7PM - Animal Crossing, Sundays 7PM - Zelda, etc.
+
+I've heard consistency is key.
+
+I also want to make new social media for this, so that I can start it all fresh.
+
+* **Minimal goal:** get the Twitch affiliate status and stream regularly for two
+  months.
+* **Ideal goal:** stream consistently the whole year :)
+
+### Reading/listening to books.
+
+When I was a child I used to read books at an incredible pace (haven't we all?) but then I kinda stopped. I wanna get back to that. I subscribed to an audiobook app. We'll see about that. This might also give me something to chat about during streams.
+
+* **Minimal goal:** 1 book per month.
+* **Ideal goal:** 2 books per month? Idk I want to make these goals reachable.
+
+### Trying new things.
+
+I am really bad at coming out of my comfort zone. So I want to try some new things this year.
+
+* **Minimal goal:** 1 new thing per two months.
+* **Ideal goal:** 1 new thing monthly.
+
+## Holding myself accountable.
+
+This of course won't work if I don't hold myself accountable, so I plan on making a summary post each week, and a larger one each month. Let's see how it goes.
+
+So, to finish, I wish you all an... acceptable 2022. Bye!
