Be healthier. This will be the hardest one for me I think, so it goes at the top. I will eat better. That means no more fried foods or chicken wings. I will work out a lot. I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past, so I know that once you get in a routine, it’s easy. I will also visit the doctor and dentist in 2009. I will fix my high blood pressure.
Read more. This includes learning more. When school ends, you finally have a chance to learn what you want to, not what is taught to you. I will make sure I read at least one new book per month and learn about a new topic.
Blog more. This blog barely gets updated. My ZDNet blog isn’t much better.
Cook more. I’ve been a line cook at about 4 restaurants, but I have yet to use the kitchen in my SF apartment.
Spend less money, and save more. This one is huge. My finances do need a lot of work. I have a little bit of debt that I need to figure out and pay down. Some of it is college, and some is old credit card.
Be way more patient. This one is very hard for me. Using the Internet every day makes me want instant gratification for everything in life. When I am cruising around in a browser, at any time I can hit CMD + T and tab to Google and find any bit of information that my heart desires. I take it for granted sometimes. In ’09, I will be more patient with life.
Be more social. I would like to meet every single person who has ever been born.
Make my company better. As I sit here and write this, my dad is watching the NBC Nightly News. He regularly watches Marketwatch.com, a direct competitor to BNET (a site I work on every day). In the new year, I want to make my company stronger.
