New Year’s Decisions

January 2nd, 2010

That time of the year once again, time to make idle promises about quitting, doing better, trying harder, and achieving more. And why not have a time to take a think about how it’s going, and where I want my life to go – not just in next year. I have many goals, though often too many and I get distracted and lose track of what is really important.

From being a photographer to social media guru and blogger… I have many interests and constantly enjoy learning; generally with the attitude, if it’s happening I want to know about it. My thirst for information has only gotten stronger, though this year I hope to gain more definition of what I really want and how to achieve it through more structure, organisation and control. So here’s a little list I made of what I want to do this year, and rather that call them ‘resolutions’ I feel ‘decisions’ is more apt as I will be doing them.

  1. Don’t get distracted so easily
  2. Print more photographs
  3. Buy more photo books
  4. Meet more people
  5. Listen to/watch more podcasts
  6. Get my portfolio site back online
  7. Improve my writing
  8. Watch more movies
  9. Write reviews
  10. Keep more up to date with current photography/camera markets
  11. Get my backup system correctly in order
  12. Get provisional driving license (and contemplate getting lessons)
  13. Go to the theatre more
  14. Attend more classical concerts
  15. Learn to cook better
  16. Exercise
  17. Develop more ideas

On a more global note:
“This year try to do even more good. Make your New Year’s resolution to include living life more altruistically in 2010″ – DoGood is an app for the iPhone/iTouch aiming to unite “300,000 to do the same act of kindness in a day”

Good luck with the ‘decisions’. I love the signpost…it made me laugh.
