I didn’t really make any true resolutions for 2009, but this year I have decided to jump on the I’m gonna do something this year bandwagon.  Maybe I didn’t accomplish as much because I didn’t set any clear goals, and maybe it was because I was being too lackadaisical about it.  Regardless, this year I am going to mark out some clear goals and work towards achieving them.

With that in mind, here are my targets for 2010:

1. Read 10,000 pages. At first I was thinking I would restrict this to a particular type of reading material, but then I decided that doing so would be a hinderance to achieving the goal.  The only restriction is that the pages must be bound into a book.
2. Improve my health. This one is much more amorphous than the reading goal.  The top three candidates in this goal are:
   • Diet.  I eat way too much processed sugar and fat in my daily diet.  I am going to add more fruits and vegetables.
   • Sleep schedule.  On of the ways to improve your overall health is to have a regular sleep schedule.
   • Kick some bad habits.  There are a couple of seriously detrimental habits that I have that I am resolving to end.
   • Regular maintenance.  If you have health insurance that provides for regular maintenance, why not use it?
3. Put at least 1000 miles on my bicycle. While this goal would easily fit in the previous resolution, I feel it is important enough to merit it’s own spot in the list.  I have some friends that want to do a serious ride next year, and if I am going to be in shape to do it, then I need to get on the road some.
4. Broaden my work knowledge. There are a couple of things I have been toying with achieving at work that will seriously broaden my knowledge:
   1. Solaris Certification
   2. RHCE
5. Buy a house. This one is by far my most interesting goal.  There are so many things that I would like to do that are hard, if not impossible, to accomplish when all you have is an apartment with no garage or yard.

There are so many more things that I could add to the list, but these were the biggest items.  I should travel more, I have friends and relatives that I haven’t seen much this last year.  Take more pictures and cook more, also figure large on the list.

Here’s hoping for a bumper crop on the resolutions for 2010!
