New Year's resolutions

[electricland]

OK, this is the big one! May have to come back & edit a bit. I'm working out of my head here and I may be forgetting stuff.

In 2003 I will:

• Get to work by 9


• Leave work at a reasonable hour, say 6:30 at the latest, unless there's some real emergency


• Cook at least 4 times a week


• Bring my lunch to work at least 4 times a week


• Go to the gym or otherwise exercise at least 3 times a week


• Stringently limit the time I spend screwing around on the web, say 1 hour a day max


• Call or otherwise communicate with my friends and family at least once a month


• Check my voicemail every day, and answer messages immediately


• Shed those opinions of myself and others that I cling to from habit rather than conviction


• Take a pottery course or other creative outlet that doesn't have anything to do with words


• Honour my commitments


• Face my irrational fears


• Talk to strangers


• Find somewhere to volunteer, and do it


• Spend money only on things I truly want


• Tell people I love them more often


• Go to Scotland


• Visit Heidi & Rock (March?), Zac & Christine, Siobhain & James


• Look for a job that lets me contribute something more important to the world than just helping multinational pharmacos make more money


• Do The Artist's Way with Kate


• Start an online book club with Kate, Joanna, others? (OK this doesn't square well with the fewer-words resolution, but contradiction is so delicious)


• Keep my apartment clean


• Give a party


• Go to the tam-tam

OK, it's a start. Next step is actually to take these and write down WHY I want to do each one. Will be helpful.

How many are working for you?

I see you've knocked at least a couple off your list: Scotland (May, 2003), talking to strangers (me).

Do you work for one of the big pharmaceutical companies? I used to work for J&J (Janssen) 15 years ago, but went more biotech after that. Just curious.
