Things I plan to do in 2008.
1. Relax more
Okay, so being a writer isn’t the most strenuous job out there (I had a strenuous job when I was a cook, and ended up in hospital for nine days…) but it still often feel like I’m chained to the computer. Worse still, I often feel guilty when I’m not there. Next year, I want ditch the guilt and enjoy life beyond the computer a little bit more.
2. Read more.
This one ties in with the first one, because for me, reading is one of the great pleasures in life. But my reading has dropped to appalling levels over the last couple of years. I’m planning to fix that, and read more books next year.
3. Enjoy the places I visit more.
I went to conferences at Dallas and Houston this year, and didn’t see a whole lot more that the four walls of the conference venues. Next year a plan to spend a little more time sightseeing, and make the 25+ hours spent on planes getting over there more worthwhile!
4. Eat less.
Or maybe that should be eat wiser. Every year I vow to lose weight, and at the end of every year I find myself stuck with the same chubby body I started with. Hoping to change that in 2008!
5. Get fitter
I’ve already gotten a head start on this one, so at least there’s going to be one item I’ll succeed with in 2008!
