My New Year's resolution | Dec 27, 2019 |
Getting rid of all the "hesitantly" paying clients. | | |
I don't make any resolution for the New Year; my resolutions are made throughout the year when the need arises. | | |

Why make any resolutions that are, based on experience, meant to fall along the way anyway? Decisions should be made at any time necessary, and not just because a new year is about to start for westerners. Still, I wish everybody who actually is celebrating it next week, an early Happy 2020! | | |

Will diversify into more sources of income and invest more into my business (unrelated to translation). | | |
My new year's professional resolution is to be able to make a living with translation. | | |
My resolution has been the same for several years running - namely, to focus on work that rewards me intellectually and financially. By repeating this resolution each year, I strengthen my resolve. | |

It's very funny to make new year's resolutions, above all if you didn't make any important resolutions throughought the year. Resolutions are made whenever they are required, not on specific dates. | | |
That was my resolution 6 years ago. | Jan 1, 2020 |

Having failed in that resolution, my new resolution, made around March/April 2019, is to leave the translation industry but continue to indulge in my passion for language learning. It's much easier to keep to this resolution. | | |

The only New Year's resolution I've ever kept was to never make another New Year's resolution. That was about 30 years ago. | | |
