New Year’s Resolutions 2011
A little late because of my trip to London, but these are my New Year's Resolutions (so far):
- Get involved in charities or some sort of social good organizations (Gay Rights and some positive San Francisco organization)
- Start going to the Gym and lose weight, eat healthier
- Buy more groceries, cook more often, and bring lunch to work more often
- Play my bass more and start playing in a group of some sort
- Budget Money and start saving money
- Take mini-vacations to Seattle, Boston, and other cities
- Keep in touch with family and friends better/more (Dad's side, Cousins, talk to my sister and nephew/niece more, buddies from High School, etc)
- Explore San Francisco more and the Bay Area in general (Berkeley especially)
- Meet more people outside my friend group (people involved in design and advertising/marketing, other startups, other industries, etc)
- Go to more concerts
- Start decorating apartment more, especially with cool music stuff
- Read More
- Get ADHD Medicine – I used to take adderall and it helped me greatly
- Stop Procrastinating so much – Most of this stuff, and things in every day life (Work, chores, etc) I could have done much earlier. The time is now!
- Play more games/complete more games

Great list Sam. I still take adderall but only when I am working/workdays/serious job hunting days. So this explains my lack of an inneral filter ……sometimes. As for gym stuff, only advice I can give is to just go and go and your own pace. It's worked for me. Finally, I been using Meetup.com to expand my friends/networking web along with the DtoidSF group. I'll start sending event stuff your way. I am just happy revenge didn't make it on to my resolution list this year as it has for the past 5 lol.

My list has some similarities, but because I am bad at such things, I listed defined goals for certain resolutions, so I had something to shoot for. So resolutions finishing more games or reading more books, become "Finish x number of books" and "Finish x number of games".
Someone recently linked me to this website called StickK: http://www.stickk.com/ Which is a more organised way of motivating yourself to reach your goals–by putting money on the line (to donate to a loved or hated charity, for instance), and holding yourself accountable. Not sure I will use it, but seems like a good way to motivate yourself. If I committed to donating $300 to a charity I disliked, if I didn't meet my goals, it's definitely an incentive to achieve them.
