A brand new yr is upon us and that is typically a time we make resolutions to enhance ourselves and our lives for the upcoming yr. Typically these are forgotten or left unfulfilled, however I feel they signify our hopes, goals, and ambitions. At worst we’re acknowledging what we want or need to change, which is an admirable train. With that stated, listed here are my Fantasy Baseball New 12 months’s Resolutions for 2025!
I eat loads of content material from folks within the trade. I feel one of many strongest elements of my prep is being prepared to disseminate info from a large number of sources. Nonetheless, I’ve too typically allowed different’s opinions to overrule my very own. I’ve gotten higher about not doing this as a lot in current seasons, however it’s nonetheless tough to handle persistently. I particularly fell sufferer to it on the draft desk due to ADP. Too typically do I cross up on the participant I’ve greater rated for the “perceived worth” as a result of somebody drops within the ADP. I hope to alter this in 2025. This doesn’t imply that I received’t take heed to others, however I will probably be much less prone to be influenced by group suppose.
Hello, my identify is Justin and I’m a draft addict. For years I’ve been taking part in in anyplace from 15-30 leagues a season. Whereas my final two years have been way more worthwhile due to the work I’ve finished within the offseason, I do know that the amount of leagues I play in hurts my in-season administration. When you’re in so many leagues, it turns into simpler to overlook sure guys throughout FAAB or when setting so many lineups. I’ve pledged to decrease the quantity of leagues I’m taking part in in. I’ll by no means be a man that performs in a single or two leagues, however I can doubtless enhance my ROI by limiting my leagues to the decrease double digits.
A part of being extra profitable in FAAB will come from being in fewer leagues. That being stated, I must proceed to enhance my FAAB course of. I’m typically so busy that I don’t begin the method early sufficient within the week and I must do a greater job of spreading the work out versus simply making an attempt to knock it out on Sunday a number of hours earlier than the deadline.
I like spreadsheets, however I’ve not been nice about getting issues organized for my in-season administration with them. I’ve already began to construct spreadsheets to arrange issues like my writing and podcasting schedule, work assignments, and residential chores. I must do the identical with my groups to higher observe the place I can enhance on a staff.
I like to unfold myself skinny. I’ll say sure to each podcast visitor spot or article. I’ve a tough time saying no to anybody or something fantasy baseball associated. This generally leads me to double reserving myself or simply feeling burnt out. I’ve determined that this yr I’ll say no extra and that I must preserve to an everyday schedule with the intention to not get burnt out or overwhelmed.
For a number of years now, I’ve wished to do extra with my content material. I like what I already do, however there’s extra that I’ve but to study or accomplish. I want to study video modifying to additional enhance the mediums I can publish on. I’ve additionally been extra stagnant within the final couple of years on social media which is one thing I want to rectify. Whereas doing this, I don’t need to be so singularly centered. I’ve pursuits outdoors of baseball that I want to begin utilizing for content material.
Get My 2026 Projections Finished Quicker
I really feel like I battle yearly to get my projections down earlier than the top of the calendar yr which places me not on time on every part else. I need to pledge to begin them earlier after the season and end them earlier than the change to the New 12 months.
The most effective article I’ve ever written was a private piece that meant a ton to me. In the midst of a yr, I normally write 250-300 articles and do about 200-250 podcasts between the websites I work for. Most of those are on matters that I don’t get to decide on which limits my skill to write down the way in which I want to or in regards to the issues that problem me as a author or an individual. I need to make time to create work meaning one thing to me or challenges me.
Pay attention, I’m by no means going to be the man that doesn’t watch standings or obsess over the video games on a day-to-day foundation. Nonetheless, I might be higher about how typically I’m doing this stuff. Sure, I’m going to tune in, however I don’t must tune in 24/7. I can take day without work and never really feel anxious or dangerous about it. This yr, I’m giving myself permission to sign off a bit extra typically.
Keep in mind What Is Essential
Whereas that is final on the listing, it’s crucial factor. Fantasy is a big a part of my life, however it’s not crucial factor. So as to advance within the fantasy trade, I’ve sacrificed loads of issues, however most significantly, I’ve taken time away from my spouse and youngsters with the intention to do every part I do. That should change in 2025. I nonetheless plan on delivering loads of content material, however they arrive first and I don’t need my chasing my dream to be the rationale I miss out on the issues that actually matter. My spouse and youngsters don’t care if I win a league or have an incredible podcast. They need me to be there when life occurs and I must make that the largest precedence.
What are your resolutions for 2025?
