I don’t usually do New Year’s Resolutions – if I want to change something, I’ll do it whenever, but this year, I’ve let a few things slide, and I really ought to make more of an effort, so I’ll use the same arbitrary day that everyone else does to make the start of my attempted changes.
- Go to the gym three or four times a week. (I’m aiming for four in the hope of achieving three. Two is bare minimum acceptable, in a really busy week.)
- Put at least 104 photos on-line. (2 a week, but I’m now used to the idea that I go through periods of one-a-day versus extended stretches of nothing.)
- Make a serious effort to sell some prints.
- Read one new book a week, and write a short review of it.
- Listen to one new album a week, and write a short review of it. (The emusic subscription should come in handy.)
- See at least two films a month in the cinema. Reviews optional.
- Go to at least one art exhibition a month. Reviews optional.
- Drink less alcohol. (Scheduled parties/special occaisions aside, when the rules are suspended, I won’t be drinking at all in Jan and Feb, and will be cutting back to a limit of three single whiskies or equivalent, while out for the rest of the year.)
- Eat more healthily. I have been extremely rubbish at this, this year.
- More socialising. I have not seen enough of many of my friends this year.
- Clear my debts.
- Make a serious attempt to organise an exhibition, preferably to include other people’s work as well as my own. (May be for 2008, but I should have at least have a date and location for one by the end of the year.)
- Develop and release at least one useful website-related tool to the public. (I think this is least likely, purely on the basis of time constraints, but I’d like to have a go.)
