Real Life Resolutions/Goals for 2015 (and 2014 updates!)
Posted: 31 Dec 2014 09:06 am
Hi all!
As we post every year, what are your resolutions/goals for 2015? What did you accomplish in 2014?
Mine from 2014:
1. Continue to ride my bike to work every day
Done. Even though I'm working at a new office with parking available.
2. Be awesome at my job. Be more proactive when I'm underworked.
Failed. I'm shit at being proactive. But I've got a new permanent position and I'm much more worked now. I feel a little underworked but a coworker privately told me that it looks like I'm working too hard / have too much on so I don't exactly know what's up there!
3. Apply for a permanent position, get a permanent position I like
Yep. No dramas there.
4. Continue studying Italian on Duolingo (anyone want to follow me? I'm "Madgec"!!); hard mode: don't break my streak all year. easy mode: continue with my beeminder goal (see: https://www.beeminder.com/mad/italian ).
Resounding success! My streak is still ongoing, and I've renewed my work on French.
5. Continue to manage Perth Atheists and Perth Polyamory meetup groups. Get more donations for PA and pay for a venue and hold a quiz because that would be awesome fun.
Continued managing them. Didn't do a quiz night. Donations aren't good enough. Maybe next year.
6. Continue being a good freethought alliance member, be more proactive, chair meetings so they are shorter
Well... I ended up running for president of the organisation, and winning, so I'm doing a pretty good job, and acheived all the above (thanks to Paul's help).
7. Hard mode: have a wedding. Easy mode: set a wedding date and plan wedding
Planning has been done. I expect a date to be set within two months.
8. Be angry less
Not a quantifiable goal, but I think I did OK.
My new goals for 2015:
1. Ride to work
2. Be awesome at my job; improve my "productivity pulse" on RescueTime
3. Get a promotion (either in my current role or elsewhere)
4, Work on my French by watching TV and reading children's books, and talking to penpals
5. Work on Italian by continuing duolingo and getting a penpal
6. Keep the meetup groups going
7. Ensure FSA packs are sent out, people remain committed, and things are successful.
8. Plan and have a wedding soon
