Jan. 2nd, 2007 12:37 amIt's time again for my annual new year's resolution thing. I've seen a significant amount of change but across a lot of different parts of my life in 2006, but luckily a year ago I made my goals sufficiently broad that they are still meaningful. Let's see how I did:
Well, ok, I actually think I did pretty well at not overthinking things that didn't matter. Failing to reanalyze big important decisions is just being foolhardy. Of course I could stand to do better, but really, all of these are things I could keep on my list for the future.
So, as I mentioned last year, I think I should have a bigger set of goals this year, so here're ten:
In retrospect I think the first year's ten were pretty good; but hey, I gotta try new things.
- Be a nicer person
Tough to measure, and especially so to self-evaluate, but I think I've done a good job in some rather challenging circumstances. If you can think of any exceptions, let me know privately and I'll try to do better. - Do solo performance
Did some, plan to do a lot more as scheduling allows. - Be decisive
I don't know, maybe I did alright, but then again...

So, as I mentioned last year, I think I should have a bigger set of goals this year, so here're ten:
- Go to the gym (Stereotypical, I know, but it'll make
metahacker happy)
- Compose a piece of music
- Learn a new language
- Win a tournament
- Go on an exciting trip
- Invent a game
- Save the world, a little (I did nothing in 2006 to come near Waveland)
- Make someone speechless with kindness
- Don't make anyone cry (I wish I didn't have to work at that)
- Teach something
In retrospect I think the first year's ten were pretty good; but hey, I gotta try new things.
