Last Year’s New Year’s Resolutions

It’s time to mull over how I did with my list of last year before I publish my sparkling new list:

1. Lose weight – I didn’t finish the year a stone lighter like I wanted to, but before the Christmas season hit, I had lost three pounds. Bleh.

Result – FAIL

2. Write my Masterpiece – I wrote like 4000 words this year. That’s 4% of a novel. So, two down and two failures.

Result – FAIL

3. Get a Car – I passed my test, got a car and we drive all over the place now, including up to York for some Boxing Day fun. Yay!

Result – SUCCESS

4. Pass my CCNA – This was not entirely in my hands as I got uber-busy at work. This year should see me with more time to learn and grow our technology.

Result – FAIL

5. Read at least 24 books – This wasn’t a problem. I love reading and squeeze it in whenever I can.

Result – SUCCESS

6. Earn my MCSE – This just wasn’t going to happen for all the CCNA reasons.

Result – FAIL

7. Teach G more things – I did teach G more things, but mostly about board games and unrelated sciency type stuff.

Result – SUCCESS

8. Be more social – I did socialise more this year and in the future this will get even better. Maybe even get a regular board game night going and a movie night as well.

Result – SUCCESS

 

Four successes here and that’s not bad as rarely are resolutions easy to do in the first place. I look for this success rate to go up in the New Year.
