2024 is going to be a less-ambitious year, at least in comparison to the years preceding it. I'm sure I'll add more goals, but here are the ones I've come up with at the moment:

Read 100 short stories. My goal for the previous few years has been 365 stories per year, but that's become less feasible over time. 100 is perfectly reasonable; it's 8-9 stories per month.

Read 12 books. I have a large stack of paper books and an even larger stack of ebooks that I've been meaning to get to for the past few years. Cutting down on the number of short stories I read should mean I have more time for actual books.

Watch 12 movies. There are a lot more than 12 on my watchlist, but 12 is a good place to start.

Complete 6 new video games. This should be easy, especially if I focus on shorter games. I have quite a few unplayed games on Steam/GOG/Epic that I've obtained through sales over the years. I may just end up reviewing a few of them as well.

Leave 100 comments. I've been trying to fix my problem with lurking for the past few years. It has actually improved, but not to the point I'd like. Thus this goal.

Write a total of 100,000 words. I'm counting fiction, worldbuilding, plotting, outlining, nonfiction, and reviews in this.

Create 52 pieces of art. This is the goal I'm probably least likely to complete, but it's something I want to at least try to accomplish.
