art-blocked and distractions, possible New Years resolutions?

Lately, whenever I've tried to do something "artistic" I've just found myself unable to "create". Every time I think to myself "I'll sit down and write a blog now" or "I could go draw now" I just end up doing other stuff, it seems that lately I've been completely art-blocked, yesterday I spend half an hour just trying to draw, and ended up drawing a tiny doodle.
I always end up tumblring or watching youtube videos instead, even as I'm writing now, I have a vlogbrother video running in another tab.
And this got me thinking, I'm not usually one to make New Years resolutions but I think I might do it this year, though  I won't promise to start doing new things, but I will promise to be better at doing stuff I already do. So for example, this year, I want to draw, write and read more often. (I am also hoping that I might run more often and maybe get, and eat a bit healthier... But chocolate is so delicious... Argh! Oh well I'll try)
But basically I need to get better at fighting all the evil distraction the internet offers, and I need to get better at sitting down and then just write or draw.
I also need to read more, over the last few months I've been reading less and less, which I'm not happy about, it's not that I don't like reading, I just don't do it all that much anymore, and I need to fix that! there are so many good books out there waiting to be read...

Oh well, I'm off to draw and read now that I've finished this tiny blog!
