I tend not to make New Years resolutions, but rather goals. In 2008, they were:
- Learn RegEx better
- Learn Spring Annotations
- Learn Hibernate Annotations
- Jog at least once a week
- Sleep regularly
- Buy a house
- Do not to procrastinate
Well it looks like I accomplished my professional goals but not my personal ones. Some of them I couldn’t help, like the sleeping (though I did see the doctor) and some I could have help (I procrastinated jogging, so that was a twofer).
This year will be no differet, here are my goals:
- Create a central and public repository for all my projects, proof of concepts, and playground things (http://github.com/jcblitz)
- Exercise at least twice a week whether it’s stretching, lifting, or running
- Get my timesheets done on time (which is Friday afternoon, Monday morning the latest)
- Separate work life and home life a little better (which is generally my fault, I get a little obsessive)
- Try to blog at least once a week whether it’s software related or just some musings in general
- Go out more. I highly enjoy staying home but I think it will be better if I go out once in a while
