New Years Resolutions

Img_20120103_100029

Looking back on last year's resolutions I didn't do too well. To be honest, looking back at the past 3 years of resolutions since I started keeping track I've done a pretty poor job of sticking to them. I'm averaging about a 33% follow-through rate. This year I'd like to get that number up and with that in mind I thought it would help if I publicly posted my resolutions on the blog. Here they are:


1) Do more of less
  • Focus more on fewer projects. Put more resources into those fewer projects (time, money, people)
2) Don't show up at work without a plan for the day.
  • Don't leave home until I know exactly what needs to be done at work. 
  • I need a specific list of things I'm going to accomplish and a plan for the day.
  • Leave work when the plan is finished
3) Develop a routine that works
  • I'd only like to go to the office 4 days a week.
  • Going to bed late because I'm hooked on SOA is a bad idea. 
  • Schedule time weekly to spend with friends
  • Make sure to leave time for hanging out as a family
  • Get up earlier
  • Stay current with the news
4) Work remotely for a month or more
  • I'd like to take a month or two this year and move the family somewhere south.
  • I'd like to work remotely and figure out if that's a lifestyle I really enjoy
So that's it. If I can stay alive and get those 4 extra things done I'll be pretty happy.
