New year resolutions
I’ve avoided new year resolutions for many years now - although not really because I did have some plans/wishes in my head but didn’t really shared them. That’s of course because I didn’t want to admit failure when asked “How is it going?”. But it didn’t work. I was frustrated not to achieve the things I’d hoped to anyway (e.g. not doing #cpd, not started to learn the viola). And although I’m not sure how declaring my hopes publicly might help I’ve decided to give it a go.
Coding
I’ve been talking about needing/wanting to learn how to code for a long time (on and off). Yesterday I signed up for with Codeyear.com … and even did the first few lessons on Codecademy.com. And you know what? It was huge fun!
Action: Just follow weekly instructions, complete tasks, comment on blog etc.
Job
Rather than feeling useless and unwanted because there aren’t any appropriate jobs going I’ll just continue to be professionally involved, i.e. do CIG stuff: monthly ebulletin, web editor events, FRBR workshop, visit to Thackray, CIG conference, Umbrella rep. That’ll do.
Action: Do things as and when they come.
Music
Of course I’ll continue with choir singing. But I’ll also take singing lessons again and - finally - work on my short-breathness. Viola has to wait.
Action: Arrange with Tom.
Running
I’ll do one 5k and one 10k race this year.
Action: Look up and pick dates on Runnersworld.co.uk, draw up training plan, buy new trainers.
Other/voluntary
Stay involved with PFA at kids’ school, cathedral choir, MU, CHALK, and attend German playgroup.
That should do.
