Resolutions for 2009 (part 1)

A few simple things to knock off first:
Run 2 marathons - Tokyo in March, and something at the end of the year (either Seoul or Taipei)
Sell 48 more copies of Diet Croydon - a somewhat arbitrary number, but that is 4 per month for each month of the year
Take an interesting photograph every week - because every day is probably too much, and any less frequent is too little

Here's 2008's resolutions. I tried not to look at the list too often throughout the year, but it's instructive to pause now and consider what I hit and what I missed.
Ran a marathon; haven't been able to do 100 press ups or sit ups yet but we have until the 31st; haven't been getting anywhere close to 8 hours sleep every night; still playing Solitaire in those bored moments, caught out without a book to read; still cheery; haven't planned a novel; only wrote 1 letter this year, not 12; haven't learned to waltz yet; have been taking public transport to work because I'm in the wrong country to cycle; haven't managed a month off booze or fizzy pop; likewise coffee; a girlfriend? (that's a more difficult one to define*); something cultural every month - does going to stand-up count?; got my back massaged most months that I've been in HK; and nowhere near shodan. So out of 15 that's 3 and a 12th (unless I can crank out 100 press ups when I get back to HK tomorrow). What does that teach us?
Well, possibly it's not a good idea to have too many goals. Or maybe I should have paced them a bit better - one thing to achieve every month for the year. But at the same time you need something to motivate you, and a list of variable size for the year should be enough to set some goals. Maybe this year I'll print it out and stick it to the bedroom door so I take more notice of it...
Anyhow, I'll consider this carefully and figure out what else I should be doing this year, and by the time I'm back in HK I should have a complete list of Things To Do for 2009... Suggestions gratefully received, although I may be the only person reading this...
