things wot I have decided to do
not to be mistaken with New Year's Resolutions as I don't do those... I just happen to have made a resolution decided to do things from January 1st 2 days ago...
1. As the last day of paid work I did was June 24th and I am now down to just less than 6 months worth of savings, I have drawn up a financial plan which pretty much means not buying stuff or spending money. Everything I need has been put into a spreadsheet and I am giving myself a weekly allowance. That is it.
2. As I love running (and it happens to be free), I'd like to make some head-way to getting to running 10k twice a week. This will take some time, but for now I want to run 60k in January and then up it by at least 5k each month. I'm pretty much running 5k - 6k per run at the moment. So far I've done 2 runs this year - one just shy of 6k and an accidental 7k which I won't be repeating. I'm also starting to use the exercise bike at they gym again and I want to do a 10k cycle each week (first one done today).
3. I am going to go on lots of dates. If I get the end of 2011 still single, I don't want it to have been because I haven't tried.
4. Whilst not doing paid work, I want to start writing articles that will eventually be part of my company website. These will range in topic but will be within the Change & Transition arena. I want them to be well researched and use-friendly.
I'm not putting down finding paid work here as I haven't just decided to do it - I love freelancing and you gets the highs with the lows - finding the right contract can be hard, can be easy, but as long as you keep doing positive things, it'll all work out in the end.
