Experemental Pantology

Last year I didn’t really make a list or had any in mind, but this year I feel like I can actually accomplish most if not all of the changes I would like to accomplish in 2010.

So as a reference here are my 2010 New Year’s resolutions:

• Move out of NYC (finally!).
• Get a dog (preferably a Labrador Retriever pure or mixed).
• Quit smoking indefinitely.
• Work out and get my body to the point of FBI Special Agent PT standards (after I quit smoking of course).
• Go on “slow carb” diet via Tim Ferris method.
• Work on projects in software development and other technology related areas.
• Learn a new computer programming language or scripting language.
• Get at least one Microsoft certification.
• Do at least one thing that makes me feel afraid or have anxiety per week to condition myself for being out of my comfort zone.
• Severely cut down on video games (they’re fun, but I feel I could do more productive things at this point in my life).
• Be more social and re-connect with people I used to be close to.
• Maximize monetary income with less effort (currently, it seems the opposite at this point).
• Get a second daily driver vehicle.
• Tinker and learn more about vehicles.
• Be generally calmer and desensitized with situations beyond my control.
• Be more cerebral and logical with daily situations.
• Finish reading “The 4-Hour Work Week” and other instructional books throughout the duration of the year.
• Officially start a small business (this one is hard, I don’t even know what industry, but I’ll see what I can muster).
• Drink more water!!!
• Stop giving out freebie IT consulting advice and computer tech work.
• Find a career position worthy of my degree.
• Pay off all my credit cards that are over $1000.
