My 38 New Year Resolutions for 2010
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.
- Read More
- Write more, but personal and for business
- Drink more tea
- Drink more water
- Cook more and with more variety
- Eat better (that means less Chinese food and less fried stuff)
- Buy a pair of yellow shoes (orange might work too)
- Exercise better to avoid recurring injuries
- Get better at sparring/boxing
- Get better at user experience and interface design
- Learn to do some yoga with my wife, or pilates
- Learn more about personal finance and managing my accounts
- Manage a budget and use Mint.com more often
- Lose at least 10 pounds and keep them off
- Watch less television even if I don’t watch much
- Have haircuts more often
- Close my Facebook account or start using it frequently
- Teach my daughter how to ride her tricycle
- Pay more attention to my RSS Reader and Feeds

- Travel to a professional conference
- Donate money and/or time for a worthy cause
- Take more regular health checkups
- Take better pictures

- Meet more people from Twitter

- Take more days off
- Try to keep my computer for another year
- Organize a home office space
- Discover and listen to new music and artists
- Pay more visits to the car wash and car tune up place
