New Year’s Resolutions “Goals for 2008″
January 2nd, 2008
I don’t really like the term “New Year’s Resolution” because to me it implies an unrealistic goal that will be forgotten before the end of January. I prefer to think of my goals for the year, which is essentially the same thing, however I’d like to take them more seriously than the traditional “new year’s resolutions”. In other words, I actually intend to follow through on all of these goals. I will be writing updates as I make progress on this list throughout the year.
Goals for 2008
- Travel to a new country
- Run 1/2 Marathon
- Finish Olympic Triathlon
- Weigh 215 lbs or less and maintain that weight through the end of the year
- Max out my 401k ($15,500)
- Max out my ROTH-IRA ($5,000)
- Make 10k in outside income (outside of my main job)
- Learn Spanish (conversational level)
- Post to blog regularly (1+ post per week)
- Read at least 2 books per month
- Take one photo everyday (project365)
