My friend Graham once suggested writing down where you think you’ll be in a year’s time, so you can look back and see how good you are at making estimates. So, thinking along those lines, here are my goals for 2006:
* Hand over the Fantasy Film League to someone else to look after. I’m done with it, thank you very much.
* Finish decorating the lounge. No, *really* finish, such that there’s nothing left to do.
* Redecorate at least one of the “difficult” rooms in our house, i.e. either the kitchen or bathroom. This will mean tidying out the garage too, so we have somewhere to work in while doing this.
* Sort out the remaining bits of exterior paintwork on the house that I didn’t pay the painter to do last year (because I’m cheap).
* Tame the last wildly overgrown border in our back garden. (I like digging things up, me.)
* Sort out the small rust patches on my car before they get any worse.
* Blog more. (Don’t all bloggers say this?)
* Persuade at least one of my friends or family to start blogging.
* Invent *The Best MMPORPG In The World Ever*.
Maybe I’ll come back and edit this post over the next few days if I think of anything else.
**Updated:**
* Teach Ben to throw and catch.
* Make moves in the right direction towards becoming carbon neutral.
* Go running more often, increase my maximum run to 45 minutes, and attempt a 5km run.
Hey Andrew!
I got myself a password and everything. If you want to cross another one off your list you could quite easily persuade me to start blogging – I think it would be cool to blog about organising my wedding or something like that.
Does it count if I suggested it?
Oh man! How cool?! I’ll post a little bit later with some suggestions about ways to start your own blog easily and/or free of charge. And yes, given that you commented here, I think it counts! Plus the goal was more about there being a blog belonging to someone I actually know in real life, rather than the act of persuasion.
