A Day Late

I know making New Years resolutions is a little cliche but I’m gonna do it anyway. Over the last few months I’ve been thinking about a few things I wanna accomplish over the next year. So, here’s a little list (in no particular order and I reserve the right to ammend, delete and make whatever changes I want). In other words this list is in no way binding. I know you’re already thinking, “uh huh…I bet he’ll be real successful.” Yeah well, we’ll just have to see.

Things I’d like to do:

• I’d like to do a lot more fly fishing. Actually I’d just like to get better at it (a lot better) and I think that translates into doing it more. Practice makes perfect, right?
• Lose some weight (yes, you knew it’d be in here somewhere). Not a lot of weight just 15 or 20 lbs. I’m starting to develop a belly and I’m afraid it needs to go. The next item is related.
• Redevelop the habit of going to the gym regularly. For about a year and a half I was really good about this. I’d go at least 3 or 4 times a week. Then I took my two week vacation over the summer and moved out of my apartment shortly after. As often happens, the disruption was enough to break the habit. I haven’t stopped going altogether, but I’m not going enough to do any good.
• Try and figure out where I would like to be in 20 years and what I’d like to be doing. I guess I could call this strategic planning. I think this’ll be the toughest thing to accomplish.
• Be a better manager. I have a few management responsibilities now and I’m kind of struggling with them. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any easy solution. I can read books, I can go to classes, but ultimately I think I just need to develop more experience. With that said, I still need to be more proactive about it.

Although I’m not gonna add it to the list I’d like to spend more time developing and updating the weblog (how many times have you heard me say this?). Seriously though, I’m surprised how quickly time goes by. It seems like I add an entry and the next thing I know it’s two weeks old. Well there’s the list, so that’s all for now.
