stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

I don't do NYR's because I don't think anything special happens over night that would suddenly mean you can stick to something that you've spent the previous 12 months failing at.

I do however have targets every year, update them and add more if I meet what I have on the list at the start of the year. I'm not too strict with time limits etc but I have a vague idea in my head and work towards them as quick as I can.

Some things on the 2009 list at the moment include things as simple as

fix and sell my van
finish decorating bedroom

to the more important

pass final elec exam on jan 19th
pass 2391 testing exam
pass 17th edition course
get pay rise

then theres the

save at least £10,000 towards house deposit

I have no doubt that I'll be looking for new targets to meet by summer! Targets work... NYR's don't!

I too will be making more music this year, and go walking more. Not as a new year's resolution, but as a general "that's what I'm doing next" kind of thing.

I like sparks! take on things.

My goals will be:

Quit the tabs
Get back in the gym and lose some of this christmas ham
Pass full bike licence and get a 500cc bike
Learn guitar theory
Learn how to use my new guitar FX pedal properly and start making some tracks (with my new guitar theory knowledge!)
Organize my MSc work more efficiently
Start saving considerable money instead of blowing it all most of the time
Move out of the folks home.

I think most of these are about having the time to set aside to dedicate to the cause, but money issues are a big one this year as I've been living off my overdraft for the past 3 years and want to start actually having a considerable amount of money I can actually call 'savings'.

As a few above have said, I don't really do New Years Resolutions so just set targets, which are currently;

1) Stop changing jobs - I'm changing jobs now - For the 3rd time this year - but am planning to stick this time, each time I've got headhunted for a good amount of money more (more than doubled my wage in the last year).

2) Bike Project- I have a sheet of about £2k worth of work to do to the bike, suppose most of it doesn't need doing but would like to get it done for a completeness point of view, money will get new shock, suspension setup properly for my weight/riding technique, new exhaust, pc3 & k&n filter, few other bits on the list but mainly cosmetic.

3) Finances - Clear up any loans/Credit Cards - Only have <£1k on Credit Cards and 1 Loan that has £500 left so might just pay it off. Ideally though, want the credit cards clear at the start of each month, also want to save more money.

4) Travel - Try and travel as much as I did this year - I done Thailand, Egypt, Germany, France and Dublin and enjoyed it so want to do a similar amount next year

5) Women - and to ensure all of the above gets screwed up for me, I want to try and find a half decent Woman and settle a little more rather than running around like an 18yr old now I'm 23 and rapidly approaching 24.


If half of that comes off I'll be happy, main priorities are sticking in the job for longer and the bike project - the others are just nice to haves

Might take up a new pastime

Vole-strangling, maybe...
...Or homicidal origami.

Yeah, might have to think about that.

Get my Celica back on the road. Been SORN'd since Oct 07

Rejoin the gym, haven't been for 5 months. Can feel it

SERIOUSLY cut down alcohol consumption.

That's my main three. I'll no doubt have a few stupid other ones.

Have a super awesome adventure holiday(s) on the bike or in the car, wherever I can afford during the black summer of the 2009 recession.

Have firm plans to depart this country set in place by the end of 2009.

Find a woman who isn't a total nutcase, though i'm not sure this one is going to be possible.

Oh and fix the VFR, only been 4years.

[nasty]

Have to pack in the tabs
Have to get back to the gym before it's too late
Allocate less time to the wife and kids and more to the bike
Get finances sorted out - properly!
Re-decorate the house and finish off all the little jobs I didn't get round to in 2007
Don't waste all my work holiday before the end of the summer.
