Resolutions

[davidfrey]

Just under a year ago, I posted some resolutions I wanted to achieve. I've knocked off at least two of them:

1. "Work out and lose weight (190lb target). I just signed up at Club Fit in town and have a tentative goal to spend an hour a day, five days a week there."
   Not done, not even close. If anything I gained weight this year. This is going back to the top of my list for 2007.
   
2. "Formalize my freelance business and build a veil of financial protection."
   Negative. I'd like to blame it on how busy I was this year, but it really comes down to not wanting to do all the paperwork. I still need a business bank account for tax purposes, but I'm not so gun ho about this one anymore.
   
3. "Bring freelance business into the black."
   I don't know. I think I've done pretty well this year overall, but I haven't actually compared my expenses yet.
   
4. "Obtain an 11% raise at Canby Telephone."
   Well, it's a lot more than 11% but it is not at Canby Telephone. I'm going to say it counts anyway.
5. "Graduate from the Art Institute with a BS in Interactive Media Design."
   Done! Finally, though the reality of it still hasn't set in yet.

I'm actually pretty happy about what I accomplished. The two resolutions I did achieve are pretty significant, life altering events.
What I hope to achieve in 2007

1. Spend more time with family and friends.
2. Get back in shape, lose some weight, and be more active in general.
3. Manage my free time better.
4. Build a koi pond and deck in my backyard.
