I decided against posting any New Year resolutions this year, mainly because they are exactly the same as last year and those pronouncements ended in ignominious failure!
However I have had a change of heart, so these are my intentions for 2008:
1. Stop smoking.
You know it makes sense.
2. Lose some weight.
I had some new passport pictures taken last week and though I am not vain (well, not really) I did not like what I saw. More exercise (even the odd walk would constitute more exercise)and healthier, or more regular, eating will become the order of the day.
3. Better time management.
I find myself consistently swamped with things to do because I find it almost impossible to say 'no' when I am asked to do something. No more! I will only take on things I am genuinely interested in this year and only get involved where I believe I have a contribution to make.
4. Stop buying things I don't need.
A clearout over the holidays opened my eyes to the amount of stuff I buy that I simply don't need (usually clothes, but CDs, books and sundry other items too). As a result I have more shirts than I can ever wear, many unopened in their wrappers, more books than I can realistically expect to read in my lifetime and more music than I have got time to listen to (even if I get my time management right, see above). As a result I have a house bursting at the seams with clutter - and it's got to be tackled.
So there you go - four things to tackle in 2008. I'll give regular updates on how I'm progressing. Oh, and finally, the Blog. Other than haphazard postings I now plan to post regularly, probably just once a week at weekends (part of this rigorous new time management regime I am imposing on myself).
It all sounds so straightforward - what could possibly go wrong?
