Some Goals
January 23rd, 2011 § 6 Comments
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the coming year and the goals I should have. I can’t really think in long-term goals at the moment – my mind won’t even think beyond the next few months – but it’s nice to have some aims so here are mine. They’re not very challenging, probably not even terribly interesting, but they’re things I’d like to get done.
Catch up on my reading
- Gravity’s Rainbow
- Kraken by China Mieville
- The book I started on NLP
- Finish the LOTR audio book (not strictly reading)
Learn things
- Re-read The Logic Book (well, some of it)
- Listen to/watch some of these
Be Healthy
- Go on at least one epic walk each weekend
- Keep a diary
Better cash management
- Put at least £300 a month into savings
Online stuff
- Blog once a week
- Make a new affiliate site
Other
- Spend more time/effort catching up with friends
- Get an eye test
- Get a haircut (omg seriously)

Wicked goals Zoe. The fact that you’ve written them down on your blog will make achieving them easier.
Spend more time with friends is always a good one. I think I’ve written down that one this year too.
Thanks Illiya – that’s what I thought…writing them on here will give me more reason to do them!
NLP huh? I was thinking of reading about that a while back, probably quite interesting, let me know what its like
I’ve only read a few pages but so far it’s really interesting
Thanks for the openculture link, it looks like a superb resource.
As for lists… yes, they never fail to bring order to the confusion. Just try not to lose it or forget about it!
