Plans for the New Year

by | Jan 4, 2006 | Holiday, Resolutions, LiveJournal

Well its several days into 2006, and I have decided to work out my plans and goals for the forthcoming year.
Kinda like “new years resolutions”

So this is what I will try to do/achieve in 2006

  1. Loose Weight
  2. Learn one New Skill
  3. Finish Some Old Projects
  4. Read More
  5. Actually do Backups
  6. Stop being so Lazy

Loose Weight
Well I could do with loosing some, so the plan is to start simple, and drop a jeans size for starters.

Learn one New Skill
This year I intend to try and stop the dry rot thats been eating up my brain with lack of use, So I plan to learn one new skill. First step is deciding what I should learn. Suggestion’s Anyone?

Finish Some old Projects
I have been very lazy over recent years, and have accumulated a large amount of “Unfinished Projects” so I want to try and actually get a load finished this year. I am aiming to try and finish about 10 off, but will be happy with 5!.

Read More
I love reading, but for some reason the last couple of years I have struggled to find the time or enthusiasm to actually get into a book. But then I had no ethusism for most things last year. Which made my natural laziness worse.

Actually do Backups
:0) Due to vast amounts of lost data from a crashed PC which had a cd on top of it waiting for a backup to be done. I have decided to actually do periodic backups of my data. I know I have said this before, but its a resolution this year, so hopefully I will stick to it this year.

Stop being so Lazy
Speaks For Itself really!!

Bloody Typical – Snow

Bloody Typical!!!

You wait for ages for snow, nice thick white useful snow, the kind of snow that lets you work from home due to the mountain passes being un-travelable. And it doesn’t come. Oh they promise you snow, they build up your hopes by sending out the warnings and the gritters. But the snow does not come.

Then, while your off work during the festive shutdown. IT SNOWS!!!

Ok, the countryside always looks nice under a couple of inches of snow. And the dogs like to play snowballs, but, whats the point of snow if you can’t blag a couple of days off work :0)

On another note, Its almost the start of the new year. Time to start thinking of new year resolutions!
