There are about 11 hours left in 2007 as I write this, so I’m thinking about the year to come. Resolutions are made to be broken, so I won’t call them that, but I do have goals to reach and need to focus on making a few changes in order to get there.
Did I say “changes”? What I truly mean is one change- I need to manage my time better, which, sad to say, is the same change I set out to make last year. And the year before. The truth is I do manage time better than I ever have before, but the problem is I’ve got more time-sucking things I want to do than time to do them. It’s now no longer a matter of fitting things in, but of cutting things out. That makes me sad, but unless I learn to live without sleep I don’t really have a choice!
My personal goals include things like eating and living healthier, reading more books, learning to play this here guitar, better managing my social networking, taking more risks, being a better friend, continuing to volunteer where I can fill a need.
Professional goals include offering more helpful content at Pixel Currents, continuing to reach out to new people online, but also in real life, maybe by teaching or speaking, and, unless Pixel Currents explodes for me, finding a regular job, hopefully one I feel passionate about.
I never could have predicted the twists and turns 2007 would take, so I’m excited to see how the new year evolves!

I can go with several of those goals, especially eating and living healthier and time management. I must say that reading more books has never been on my to do list. The time management goal, in fact, could result in my reading FEWER books, but I refuse to consider that an improvement.

Reading that comment doesn’t seem to make it clear that the reason I never try to read MORE books is because I already read so many. Happy New Year!
