  • Preparing to Keep New Year’s Resolutions

    Now that I have New Year’s Resolutions, I’m preparing to keep them. First on the list is making the list trackable. Thanks to Joe’s Goals, I have a simple, online (oops; there goes goal #1) site to record my progress.

    Less time online. Last week I had limited Internet access. My RSS feeder got backed up. Rather than attempt to read all the posts I missed, I deleted each feed that made me groan in the slightest. Blogs that post 20+ times a day? Gone! Saved me time today and every day from now on. I will continue to consolidate my political feeds. They seem to be the worst offenders.

    Learn Linux. Putting the Asus Eee PC on my Christmas list (and actually getting it :)) is preparation enough.

    Practice guitar more. I am organizing my guitar books, amp, pedal, etc., to eliminate the setup time. Now, I can just pick up the guitar and play/practice. The Crossroads DVD I got for Christmas is inspiration to continue practicing.

    Exercise more, drink less caffeine, drink more water. The key here is in the writing of the resolution. Note the “more” and “less.” Success in these is virtually guaranteed. ;)

    Well, that’s it for now. Gonna get offline and go practice the guitar.

  • New Year’s Resolutions

    I don’t normally make New Year’s resolutions. But as the management tip I read recently says, “How can you tell if your team’s failing if you don’t set any goals?” So, in that spirit, here goes. I resolve to:

    • Spend less time online
    • Learn Linux
    • Spend more time with family
    • Spend more time studying spiritual things
    • Spend more time practicing my guitar
    • Exercise
    • Drink less caffeine
    • Drink more water
    • Read more books
    • Buy more flowers

    Well, that should be enough failure for one year. Achieving even a portion of this list will be improvement.

    What about you? What do you resolve to do?

  • First Day of School

    Taking pictures on the first day of school is a tradition too good to break. Apparently, rain on the first day of school is, too.

    Even though I’m not in school, this feels more like New Year’s Day than January 1. The change in routine makes everything seem new. It’s a good time to change, to improve. Although I’m not one to write New Year’s resolutions, I take advantage of this time to (re)start good habits. I have just a couple this year: exercise more often and drink less caffeine. My gym bag is packed and in the car and a nice, pretty new water bottle is sitting next to me on my desk. Now all I have to do is follow through.

    How about you? Do you make start of school resolutions?
