2021 BINGO - A choose-your-own-goals challenge

Yes, I am in, I want to consolidate my 2020 bingo card and see if I cant scratch in a bingo before the end of the year, then see what I want to carry over or start fresh. Bingo card pending…

I will see if I have enough ideas to fill a bingo card. :smiley:

Is there any chance anyone wants to be assistant prize czar? Because I can usually do it but once in a while fall into a depression and can do literally nothing and everything goes to heck.

Anyone willing to manage a post linked from the first post detailing currently offered prizes and person to ping if people want each?

I’ve put in 1 for now. :slight_smile: The conservative option definitely seems best!

@diapasoun I can offer one (might turn into more but we’ll start with one!) amateur pet portrait (i.e., some art of your pet, or a pet of your choice, by me, not a professional artist). Since it’s flat, and they’ll be fairly small, international shipping should be fine. I can provide a couple examples on request!

I need to figure out these “just once” goals. All my goals are habits. Halp.

Are there things that the habits could culminate in?

I have a lot of those. I’m setting goals for how long to do them to consider them habits (1 month, 6 consecutive weeks, etc.).

Mostly I’m just more interested in things that require me to dig in. :rofl: Habits/processes and one-offs that require significant work (like finishing large afghans, which is kinda a process) are the kind of things I zero in on. They’re difficult, they’re not guaranteed, I feel real pride in accomplishing them. Little things, like baking eclairs or something, I just don’t even think about them as goals – more like whims. It seems like it would be valuable, though, to think of them as more than whims.

For me what I like about Bingo is I don’t feel bad about some “easy” goals because they aren’t the only ones needed for a bingo, but I don’t feel to overwhelmed by the more drawn out ones because I know I don’t have to accomplish everything in order to declare victory.

Also some little things I find intimidating enough that they feel like big things and I need the push.

Yeah I’m trying to find a middle ground between easy, quick things and longer term goals while still having the small things be challenging enough. I need the quick dopamine bursts of the easy ones to sustain me :rofl:

Haha cross-posted. Basically what Greyweld just said!

I think I don’t need the dopamine hit, which is weird because I definitely used to. All the same, it’d be nice to finish a bingo before the last 2 weeks of December.
