Very small.

New Year's Resolution:  Start no new projects.  Put nothing on my ToDo list that I did not already decide (in 2015 or before) to do.  None.
...In many ways, I've been slowly building up to this since June, teaching myself to say no to new commitments and lay down those I can't reasonably fulfill-- without feeling bad about it-- to regain some control over my life.  No new commitments is an extraordinary step, but I think a necessary one.  These five weeks ahead of the New Year, I'm doing my best to get into the right mindset and find the flaws in my plan, so I'm not caught unprepared when this "really" starts.

ToDo list:  I use Habitica
Different things work for different people.  This one works for me.  I've been "playing" since March, and it's helped me go from 'I forgot to eat for three days, ****' to eating two meals a day and [usually] knowing the day's date, which is pretty impressive for an unemployed person with assorted mental illnesses.  If you like the idea of an rpg that improves your life instead of stealing away from it, or you just want your digital task lists to be in pretty colors, I highly recommend trying it out.  Or don't.  I'll keep using it, regardless of what you do, because it works for me.

I like drawing.
I didn't know that about myself.
