New Year Resolutions for 2011

Published December 28, 2010

Shortly it will be the only time of a year when broken promises aren't just quietly ignored, they're practically de rigueur. Starting your year with failure doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what the heck...

Lose weight.

Now a constant and friendly fixture in my resolution list. In fact, it went so well last year that I went full circle and actually put on quite a bit of weight.

Launch Giglr.

Nearly everyone I've met in the last 3 years has heard about this site, and yet I've still not got around to properly coding it up. Time to stop talking and get on with it. If I don't complete it by the end of summer, then I need to forget all about it.

Work at least 1 hour a day on non-work projects.

I've so many ideas, but I need to actually devote some time to getting them down. Not to mention all the Northern Air website stuff and the various sites for friends & family.

Spend less money on food.

No rules about health here, I just need to stop wasting so much money on eating all the damn time.

Leave the UK on a holiday.

I need to get away, and not with work. Somewhere hot.

Write for at least 2 hours every week.

Blog, Short Stories, Screenplays. Coding doesn't count.

Be more social.

I'm retreating again, I can tell. This path does not lead to good things.

Save up at least £2000 to add to the "house deposit" fund.

My friends are buying their own places, and I'm years away from being able to even think about it seriously.
