Just found this article lying around in draft form, and thought, why not publish it? It’s been a long way coming…
Before you start thinking “why is he writing a new year resolution post in end-February”, I simply have to tell you that it was recently Chinese New Year and this it the year I could be referring to. It could also be because I have, what seems like an invite number of, draft posts that I never seem to get time to finish and therefore it comes now and not January 2nd as was the original intention. So let’s get started
Whoa, another year has started and you know what that means, it’s time for new years resolutions!!! But before I digg into all the exciting plans I have for this year, let’s review the past year by looking at last years post.
One thing I, for obvious reasons, couldn’t have on last years list of resolutions, was my proposal for marriage, which I did manage to complete anyway .
But I made it all in all at a fairly decent rate, except for running that stupid marathon. I will still claim the whole thing was due to the injury I got in 2008 when I was Sweden, which I never fully recovered for, but I am sure that if I even dared mention it, I would be ridiculed by my friends, so I am not going to that – obviously!
Bygones!! On to this year – in no particular order (so when I don’t reach the top ones, that doesn’t mean you can argue that I didn’t reach the most important ones…)
- Go to Brazil
- Get married
- Change my name
- Become censor at KVU education center and, if approved, conduct at least one exam evalution
- Get a new job
- Make at least one three course gourmet meal, using new recipes, for Julie
- Run half-marathon (the full one I bragged I would do last year, went well – a little too well as I finished 45 out of 11000+, because my friend ran it for me…)
- Read a non-work-related book
- read at least one getabstract.com abstract a week
- Go to at least one dress-up party in a cool custome (like these)
- Come out of 2010 with less debt that what I went in it with
- No increase in apartment electricity consumption compared to 2009 (where I reduced our enegery consumption by over 25%)
- Participate in Broløbet half-marathon
- Eat at least once at a Michelin star rated restaurant
- Install at least one more CFL/LED light bulb
- Lose weight so I weigh less than 77kg (170lbs)
- Get at least one tailormade work shirt made
- Get all moving-boxes out of my apartment
- When drinking coffee at the machine at work, choose one without milpowder
- Drink less coffe
- Avoid drinking sodas and diet sodas at home
- Write at least 52 blog posts (including this one
) - Buy and start to wear cufflinks more often
- Get CAPM & PMP certified by PMI
To 2010 all I have to say is what Marvin Gaye has been saying for years : Let’s get it on…
