So, I hate New Years resolutions. To me they're empty promises to "be a better person" or "start anew in the new year". Bollocks. I think a person should be in constant pursuit of improvement and refreshment of the soul, etc. Now, that's not to say that a person shouldn't make goals for themselves. So I've created a To Do List for 2010. These are just small goals I want to accomplish throughout the year. They're not lofty life-changers like, "I'll lose weight, quit smoking and read more". These are specific goals and mile markers that I'll either acheive or not. So far, I've gotten a pretty good start.
1. Read at least one book per month. (at least 4 from the Must Read List for men) - I'm about halfway through The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. My next book will be Going Rogue (or Going Rouge if you're Chris Cuomo) by Sarah Palin.
6. Get down to 215 # - I signed up for WeightWatchers for men online and I'm down 5 lbs in my first week. Not bad.
12. Back up all data to external HD and organize. - I've priced out external hard drives and I'll be picking one up within a couple weeks.
16. Organize (or make sure someone organizes) Guy’s Night at least 7 times. - I'm in the process of contacting the guys for a guy's night out currently.
19. Build up a 40 hr ETB cushion - I've got 16 hrs.
There are 23 items on the list, so I'm only scratching the surface...but that's what this is all about. Setting goals and moving toward them. Not life-changing "resolutions".
