Shin's Resolutions - 2011
Yeah, Right!
This is my sixth installment.  Comments?
RESOLVED: Write.  Write something for my class every week even if I'm not there.  Finish autobiographical brain dump (including philosophies).  I didn't finish in 2010, Sometimes going months with nothing.  The dump should be done by the end of April.

RESOLVED: Brain Activity.  Continue to read and write and educate myself.  Try and do new things.  Do things that keep me mentally active.

RESOLVED:
Travel.  Complete the 50-State Pledge.  Now I have the 58 County Pledge, with 30 left as of January 1.  I should do at least 20 of these in 2010.  As time and finances allow, do more!  Visit Arcata at least 4 times.

RESOLVED:  Keep up this site.  I did well in 2010.  I'll stay with at least one major update each month.  Finish the vacation postings.  Add house and guitar sections.

RESOLVED: Socialize.  Writing is very solitary.  So are road trips.  I need to be sure I meet people and maintain friendships.

RESOLVED: Look for the next big thing.  Some venture that could have an indefinite time span.  I may not find it, but I need to seek.  Craigslist is a minimum.

RESOLVED: I may add one here later.

RESOLVED: Don't get too hung up on resolutions!  (I've always been good at this!
RESOLVED: Be healthy.  I'll keep this for 2011.  I started 2009 at 201 and ended about the same.  The first of each month I'll have a weigh-in and report back.  200 is marginal, 190 good, and 185 I can be proud of.  Eat properly.  Track monthly ending weight.

A couple of trips to the dentist and one each to the eye doctor and GP with acceptable results and proper follow-ups.  I was good on this.  

RESOLVED: Not to suck at golf.  Still harder than I thought.  First and foremost, I have to enjoy it.  Practice at least once for each 2 times at or over 100.  Do PPGS.  Get my index under 20.  Eliminate the fade from my driver.  Use fairway woods.

RESOLVED: Play music.  For now, play guitar an average of 1/2 hour a day when at home or have access.  Listen to music (at least 1 club or concert per month!)

RESOLVED: Cut down on brainless computer games.  This has been a problem for years.  What a waste of my time.  Find help for addictive behavior.

RESOLVED: Be organized.  Keep up the "Jen List".  This is my monthly "to do" list that my good friend Jennifer recommended I set up so I'd recognize what I was and wasn't getting done.  I feel much more productive when I use it.  This was a big success in 2010.  Also, keep my finances in order.  I have a spreadsheet with my budget on it.  BIG help!  Keep house.  Hopefully all big projects are out of the way unless I redo the kitchen.  Maintain the car.  Always be within an hour from being ready for company!  A place for everything and everything in its place!
