2011 Resolutions

UPDATE: Please find a list below this post of my updates every month.

Like most recent years, I read a lot about new years resolutions in the week before the new year. This year, a couple things caught my eye.

Jacq from fitarella.com shared her take on new years resolution which reminds me a lot of Matt Cutts 30 days project. Years ago I actually bought my first digital camera specifically for the purpose of doing a pic a day like Matt had done.

Anyway, I like the idea of replacing traditional resolutions with individual thirty day challenges.

I agree with Derek Sivers about keeping goals to yourself so I’m not going to share my goals with you right now. I will tell you two things …

One, I am drawing some inspiration from Matthew Might’s 12 resolutions for programmers.

Two, I am NOT switching from Vim to Emacs!

1. Jan - One Down, Eleven to Go – a morning routine
2. Feb - 12 in 12, February Update – my diet
3. Mar - A Kick Ass Philanthropist – backing KickStarter projects
4. Apr - The Wall of Shame – writing daily pages
5. May – Failure Friday – no goal set (kinda ruins the suspense, doesn’t it?)
6. June – We Don’t Need No Stinking Widows
