New Year’s Resolutions

Normally I post long-form essays here on my site.  However, I figured if I exposed my New Year’s Resolutions somewhere public, I might be more prone to follow them.

I wrote down my New Year’s resolutions in one of my Evernote notebooks, but I figure I’d share them with you all.  I’d say they’re pretty realistic and hopefully I won’t have problems sticking to ‘em.  So, without further ado:

• Practice guitar/bass for a total of 5 hours a week, minimum
• Compose music again
• Write more (both blog essays and hopefully restart the fiction work too)
• Talk to strangers more (and meet more people in SF)
• Exercise (I’m sure I’ll be more motivated when my FitBit arrives)
• Contribute to an open-source project
• Get a raise/promotion at (or before) my 1-year anniversary at my company

What were your New Year’s resolutions?  Post some in the comments section (or in the Notes comments if you’re reading this via Facebook)!
