Suddenly, I prefer the sound of "quests" rather than "resolutions". xD

As part of my ongoing mission to make my New Year's resolutions (quests!) a monthy thing for 2025, the time has come for me to respawn and march into March with my chin held high. It's clear that I need to tackle some unfinished business from the previous month. So, with those yet-to-be-completed quests tucked inside my inventory, I now have 31 days ahead of me to complete them all. I can do this! :)

Here are my quests for March 2025:

- Purchase two external hard drives.
- Back up EVERYTHING on my PC (for next month's Linux installation).
- Reset my body/health through fasting at least twice weekly.
- Read a book, from start to finish.

Hopefully, I'll stumble upon a great deal for those external hard drives. Never realized how much data I tend to accumulate, it's wild. xD As for the fasting, I've done it in the past and it really helped my body deal with issues such as inflammation or even to help get rid of sluggishness. Been eating way too much junk lately and I could use a clean reset. ;)

Anyone else want to tackle some quests for March 2025? If yes, I'd love to hear from you!

Wishing all participants good luck!

Make a better pizza!

I do have a slow intermittent fasting program i'm re-implementing in my daily doings.. skipping evening meals still is a thing though
also cutting back on smoking, not necessarily quitting but.... less usage of nicotine supplies \o/

Need to get an optometrist appointment set up, I have wisdom teeth surgery on the 12th, gonna try to pay my car off, and start trying to focus on me again.

As per one of my quests for March, I have completed a 16-hour intermittent fasting yesterday and another one today. I do drink plenty of water and herbal teas in the evening, when I find it incredibly challenging not to grab a snack! But on the positive side, I woke up hungry after completing these fasts (often I eat very late because of work and go to bed on a full stomach, so I am barely hungry in the mornings) and instead of feeling sluggish in the morning, my mind felt alert and awake. :) I tend to work late (I love it because I'm not a morning person) and one of my biggest problems was eating dinner at 9:30 pm, sometimes even at 10 pm. I'm attempting to correct this, hence the intermittent fasting (at least for March, as a trial).

Cutting back on smoking is better than nothing. I've watched my friends struggle with this, so I know it's not as easy as it sounds. Wishing you the best with that quest! :)

Play a video game through completion.

The last one I completed this year was Unavowed, in early January.

Beware the Ides of March, and steer clear of Brutus and Cassius. All Hail Caesar!

Jesus Christ! It's March already! Missed February. Good luck and .... I will finish that DVD bookcase this month! Or not... quest

...finish my compositions before the year ends.

Quest, eh? Well, I guess I need to find a dragon to rob.
