Well I started my new years resolutions yesterday and so far so good … ish :) but I guess these aren’t new years resolutions but more ways to improve my life this year and if I can stick with it somewhat I’ll be happy. I may also add to this list if anyone has any other good suggestions ? :)

Most of these are really common sense but … far be it from me to have common sense :)

Health

  • Cook more meals
  • Eat less junk food (Pizza is not a food group)
  • Stop drinking so much (no more having a beer or two in the evening occasional outbursts of madness are allowed)
  • Get healthy
  • No Energy drinks (coke doesn’t count so much but its on the list allowed with cinema)
  • Get my 5 a day ( coffee / coke / red bull / kick / pizza / ham and bread sandwiches don’t count)
  • Get to bed at sane hours

Work

  • Create forbairt.ie
  • Start a large project with code igniter (Task Drop)
  • Spend less time working
  • Normal working hours
  • Take Lunch breaks
  • 1 Day off completely a week
  • Less *****y projects
  • Don’t do favours for friends so much
  • More social networking
  • Fixed working hours
  • Alot some time for training
  • Attempt more public speaking

Personal Improvement

  • Improve French (Watch EuroNews / Attend meetups for speaking french)
  • Do more German

Personal

  • Get to cinema more (I’m paying for it I may as well use it)
  • Get playing petanque again :)
  • Work on a few personal projects
  • Finally move away from dreamhost completely
  • Less time spent on forums
  • Get rid of the excess of PC hardware / machines I’ve got
  • Make time to meet up with friends properly
  • Make it to vienna once
  • More time for the keyboard (learn 3 nice songs)
  • No purchased haircuts this year … its what the hedge trimmers I bought is for
  • Waste less food (if something is in the fridge it has to be used)
  • Eat out more (BK doesn’t count *sniff sniff*)

Anyways I’ll see how I get on its a pretty long list (at least I think it is)
