Resolutions for 2010
2008's resolutions were a grand success. I no longer have sugar in coffee or tea and I only drink skimmed milk if possible. In contrast 2009's were a total wash, but I did buy a house and graduate with a distinction, so things worked out in grand fashion.
Here's the list for 2010...
- Write every day.
- Eat better (less pastry and bread).
- Exercise more.
- Keep school nights free of guests.
- Learn more career related skills.
- Watch less TV.
- Drink less coffee.
- Get up earlier.
- Work harder to ignore anxiety and annoyance.
- Take regular holidays.
Lofty goals indeed. Here's hoping I stick to at least one of them.
Onward!

Best of luck! Plenty of those seem to tie together well (eg. getting up earlier and watching less TV fit well with having more time to write, exercise and develop new skills).
Have you got specific targets for some of them? (How much TV/coffee is less? Does 10 words count as “writing” for the day? What waking-up time counts as earlier?) Speaking from personal experience, I find I need to set myself something that can be measured, or it just starts getting wooly and vague and it’s easy to fool myself!
I read this post on The University Blog today, just after reading yours, and thought it might be of interest to you…

And good luck again, here’s to 2010!
