New Year’s Resolutions for 2011
Last year I hit 50% on my resolutions, which isn’t too bad, but I’d like to hit some of those more difficult ones this time around.
1. Be more social – This was a win last year, but there’s still work to be done here. I don’t really mean work. I mean more fun to be had. I’ve had a great time getting to know more people.
2. Lose weight/ be more fit – Not a great year last year for this. Getting a car hasn’t helped with this as I now drive to work where previously I walked several miles a day. I must get into the gym at least three times a week and get fitter. Age 40 loometh.
3. Write more each week – Last year I aimed for the Moon and didn’t reach it. This year I only aim to write a couple of times a week. If I can manage that then the habit will grow and the act of writing will come easier.
4. Get a qualification – Whether this be a CCNA or an MCSE, it doesn’t matter. I want some letters after my name. 
This is now more possible as I have some extra help.
5. Don’t eat cheese – I really like cheese, but I shouldn’t have it. Too much fat and salt. Not good for my heart. I need to be around for another 30+ years.
6. Read 24 books – I have to put an easy one on here. This one I should knock out of the park. I’ll take a victory lap right now. Yay for me!
7. See more of Britain – I’ve been here for nearly a decade now and I haven’t seen much of this wonderful country. I want to see Scotland, the museums of London or the Lake District. I have a car now, so this should be easier.
8. Do more gaming – Role-playing or boardgaming is something I really enjoy. I need to get back to it after years of time off. Roll them bones!
9. Write on my blog more – I’d like to have a journal/record of what I get up to/think and this is the place I should do it in.
If I aim for half of these again, then that’s 4.5. But if I don’t get there then I won’t be too bothered. Resolutions are just a way of ordering your goals for the year.
