New Month's Resolutions 2026

It’s always really motivational to check on this thread and see the kinds of things people are beeminding!

I had so much fun starting postcrossing in April! It’s been really awesome writing little messages to send across the world, and I’ve even already had someone from South Korea who wants to be penpals, which is so cool. I’m glad I took the plunge. Definitely going to keep up with at least a postcard a week, and maybe more if I can source some cheaper stamps.

For May I was in two minds, because it’s my bookclub’s Manga May(hem) event and I was going to ramp up my manga reading goal from a volume a week to a volume a day for the duration of May, but in the end I decided to just see how the month goes and not put too much pressure on it.

Instead, I decided on a Latin-related goal: latinci, to watch Latin comprehensible input videos on youtube at a rate of three a day. I’ve been counting up my study hours and listening is lagging behind everything else, so I thought I’d add the extra encouragement. Some of the videos are really short, like only 5 or 10 minutes, so I think this should be manageable.
