January: my [spendless](https://www.beeminder.com/rubygagotoku/spendless) goal to cut down on frivolous spending was a tentative success: I _did_ derail once (I saw a fancy candle I couldn’t resist…) but it prevented me from letting that turn into a spending spree, and I was generally much more aware and thoughtful about how I was using money. Not frittering money away on random impulse purchases meant that I had enough spare to buy tickets to see my favourite band the Mountain Goats in October! Looking forward to February: this is a very trivial kind of goal but it’s also the sort of thing I think beeminder is perfect for. I want to whittle down my [tumblr likes](https://www.beeminder.com/rubygagotoku/tumblrlikes) (1000+). I’ve been using them as a sort of dumping ground/bookmark zone and I want to actually sort through them, reblog what is reblog-worthy, read the things I saved to read later, and sort everything else into a place it belongs. At a rate of -42 a day I should have no likes left by the end of February! If it goes well, I might do a similar thing for my youtube likes in the future… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/new-months-resolutions-2026/12680)._
