This year (Like nearly every year in my adult life) I have not made any resolutions. I have made a pact with myself to travel more and have more fun, take photos and live life. No artificial pressure. I made this pact with my self in mid December therefore it does not count as a new years resolution.
The principle of new years resolutions is admirable, one in which people seek self advancement and betterment however the human element is in continuous need of progress and development and my personal stance on this is the principle of little changes.
- Find an element that needs to change
- Set a target for change completion
- Set milestones and short-term goals towards achieving that milestone
- Measure progress
- Embed the change in life.
- Find something else to change or develop.
Some of my personal objectives for MMXI are as follows:
- January - Diet and weight management, get rid of the extra weight from my 30's
- February - Academic
- March - Domestic - sort out the apartment.
- April - Travel, Tranche 1
- May - Travel, Tranche 2
- June & July - Nothing
- November - Travel, Tranche 3
- December - Nothing
