My 38 New Year Resolutions for 2010

News

It’s that time of the year again, resolutions!  I normally don’t think about New Year resolutions and have never written them before but I decided to make an exception just for the benefit of this blog.  Another post!  It was fun. Again I am focusing more on personal goals, not on the business objectives.  Those are written already.

Now I notice that many of these aren’t specific enough to allow me to check them as completed once I accomplish them, but let’s think of them as general guide into the New Year.

  1. Read More
  2. Write more, but personal and for business
  3. Drink more tea
  4. Drink more water
  5. Cook more and with more variety
  6. Eat better (that means less Chinese food and less fried stuff)
  7. Buy a pair of yellow shoes (orange might work too)
  8. Exercise better to avoid recurring injuries
  9. Get better at sparring/boxing
  10. Get better at user experience and interface design
  11. Learn to do some yoga with my wife, or pilates
  12. Learn more about personal finance and managing my accounts
  13. Manage a budget and use Mint.com more often
  14. Lose at least 10 pounds and keep them off
  15. Watch less television even if I don’t watch much
  16. Have haircuts more often
  17. Close my Facebook account or start using it frequently
  18. Teach my daughter how to ride her tricycle
  19. Pay more attention to my RSS Reader and Feeds
  20. Travel on vacation
  21. Go to a few concerts (so far I’ll try to go to Draco’s concert)
  22. Travel to a professional conference
  23. Donate money and/or time for a worthy cause
  24. Take more regular health checkups
  25. Take better pictures
  26. Carry the iFlip-style camera with me
  27. Meet more people from Twitter
  28. Buy an Android phone
  29. Start a new business
  30. Work less, work smarter
  31. Produce a mobile application as a business or for a client
  32. Take more days off
  33. Try to keep my computer for another year
  34. Organize a home office space
  35. Discover and listen to new music and artists
  36. Pay more visits to the car wash and car tune up place
  37. Buy a new car stereo or at least a new FM Transmitter for the iPod
