2013 Goals / NYE Resolutions

1. To trade in some of the innocence of youth for personal responsibility and growth. Using this to lead me towards developing into the person that I want to become. 2. Read more - 1 book a month minimum. 3. Write more - even if its just a few sentences. To write something down every day whether its creative, reflective or just words. 4. To find a new passion and go deep on it - stop with the 30% - going involved just enough to say I like to….(surf, drink bourbon, kayak) without ever becoming an expert. Make sure you take time to dive in. 5. Stop with the extremes - don't always be the pendulum. Its OK to carve out 3 hours of work on a Sat/Sun and not finish everything - its better than not checking email at all. Also a 20 min workout is better than no workout at all. 6. Brush your teeth and floss, do laundry, don't let the little stuff be what holds you back. 7. Slow. Down. Stop moving so quickly that you don't take care of the details. 8. Make sure that you have time for some self reflection. Go get breakfast. Read the paper. Think. Comment. Create a plan. Go through your old notebooks and summarize the things that you've learned. 9. Dominate the day. When you first get in - make a list of things you'd like to accomplish. Not everything you need to do, just the top 4-5 things to get done that day to help set your priorities. 10. Lighten Up - don't put so much stress on yourself. Have fun. Enjoy it all.
