I never really make new years resolutions because I always break them. In 2008 I was 30 years old and that really made me reflect on my life so far.
On the whole I am pleased with how it’s going but I think with a lot more direction and GTD attitude who knows where I could be.
So for the first time in a while I am going to give myself some focus. I guess if you publish out your goals into the blogosphere then there is more accountability.
The resolutions
In no particular order.
- Run another half marathon.
- Learn to converse in Spanish.
- Give a talk on Tech related subject.
- Complete one of my side projects
- Improve my Javascript and learn JQuery
- Commit to a large open source project merb, rails, etc.
- Start my own open source project
- Move from Wordpress to a home grown blog system
(I know its reinventing the wheel but it’s good experience and Wordpress is bugging me just enough to do it) - Grow tiny code factory as a business
(without conflicting with the interests of my current employers) - Get a higher profile project at the BBC
- Post at least 3 times a month on this blog
- Start a photo blog and improve photography skills
- Go to Scotland on Rails again
- Start learning a JS framework like cappuccino, sprout core etc. That is the future after all
- Photoshop to a practical level
- Learn a bit of Erlang
- Get up into the Clouds at some point
- Implement a proper GTD or GTD like system to do the above
