MEGO: My Eyes Glaze Over

New Years Resolutions – A Quarterly Review

May 1, 2010 A Good Laugh, Family and Friends, Random Thoughts

I started out the year with an incredible list of “to-do’s”. I wouldn’t call them resolutions, because those aren’t a part of my belief system. Well, perhaps the truth is that I have never been terribly good at keeping them. So this year, I decided I would have “objectives”, and even looked up tracking calendars and considered sharing a Google Calendar with a friend so that we could keep each other in-line.

So, what was on that list.

Lose weight ( I will not tell you how much, do not ask).
Read a book a month.
Write a blog post every week

There may have been others – but let’s review how well I did.

Lose weight
The intention was to join a gym and go at lunch hour twice a week. Then go once on the weekend. I have yet to join the gym. Why? – lunch time at work is spent working.

Read a book a month
This should have been easy – I have a snazzy new Kindle and about 50 books i haven’t read on it. I have finished Tribes, and half of Linchpin. (Yes, I appear to be on a Seth Godin trip).
Why have I sucked the big one on such an easy task? Night time is for watching my PVRd shows (Lost, Lie to Me and Law and Order) and ummmm working.

Write a blog post every week
See above.

So chalk January, February, March and part of April up to bad organizational skills, an unfair workload, and an obsession with keeping my inbox under 50 emails – and let’s move on. The plan is – i have my blog live again and the summer opens up opportunities of sitting in the sun with my book as the kids play freely in the yard. As for the gym…well I might need more motivation for that. Perhaps, a first step will be taking the Wii Fit out from under the coffee table.
