Having taken a look back at 2008, it’s time to look forward to 2009. Here are my New Year’s resolutions:
- Plan more – Be more proactive and less reactive.
- Spend less – Reduce money spent on luxury items, particularly eating out.
- Consume less – Not from an anti-consumerism perspective, but from a resource perspective e.g. paper, plastic, water, fossil fuels, etc.
- Post more – Post here more frequently.
- Exercise – At least 4 times a week.
- Eat better – Reinstate my “don’t finish your plate” diet.
- Drink more beer – Not in quantity but variety.
- Brew more beer – Learn to brew good beer consistently.
- Read more – Catch up on all the books I bought last year.
- Adopt a mile – Adopt a road near my neighborhood.
I’ll revisit this list throughout the year and certainly at year-end to see how I’ve done.
