So, it’s more of a set of tasks, but hopefully, dated tasks will effect resolution-like change:

Health:
1.) Any meals purchased from the cafe downstairs at work will be split in two, half of which will be saved for the next day.
2.) Exercise at home at least twice a week, if successful, monthly rewards will be applied.

4.) Strengthen knee, prior to the honeymoon, that walking around London or Paris is not problematic (min. 5K on a treadmill in one go)

Games:
1.) Play “good” games to completion
2.) Borrow more games from the IRC, instead of purchasing games, unless an understanding of the game requires extensive play, or immediate availability.
3.) When I know that I am not likely to finish a game, anymore, put it away, so it does not clutter public space. Consider selling, or trading it.
4.) Only ONE new console purchase this year, unless required by work.

Computer:
1.) Don’t spend so much time at home on the computer.

Mornings:
1.) Do not use the computer before leaving for work, for more than 10 minutes.

7.) Purge kitchen (again) by end of February

Clothing:
1.) Box up “nostalgic” shirts that I no longer wear regularly (TEP, water polo, etc.) to keep as souvenirs, so they do not take up closet space (by Jan. 3).
2.) Purge closet of worn or unused clothing on a monthly basis
3.) When clothing develops holes, or excessive wear, stop wearing that article of clothing. Donate, throw out, or patch, as necessary.
4.) Purchase no new t-shirts this year (you have enough already)

1.) Work at developing one skill, equivalent to the effort required for NaNoWriMo (music, writing, painting, cooking, drawing, etc.)
2.) Do at least one editing pass on last year’s NaNo project, format for book form, and get it printed (two copies for archiving, one for use)

Cooking:
1.) Cook at home every weekend day, with three meals as exceptions per month.
2.) Create a “cookbook” at home, listing recipes that we know work, organized by how long it takes to cook them. Create a means to generate quick recipe lists, based on what we already have in the house on a regular basis.
2a.) Try using the Jornada, which we never use, for task 2, by end of January
3.) Create recipes that “work together” to use ingredients. i.e.: If chicken comes in packages of 8 thighs, and a recipe uses 5, have a recipe ready that uses 3.
4.) Once a month, buy an ingredient I’ve never bought before, and cook with it.

3.) Call my cousin once a month.

5.) Create a “scheduled social event” that occurs once every three weeks, in the city, at the same location, and time every time it occurs.

Work:
1.) Understand what is necessary to achieve a “Lead Designer” position, and develop a plan to get to that position within the next two years.
2.) Continue to progress at the same ridiculous, and sort of absurd rate I have been over the last two years.
