My 7 aims for 2016.

6 March 2016

Last year was tough. It was so tough, that I didn't write any resolutions or plans, because I couldn't divert any outward energy to them, and didn't feel I was able to write candidly without self-censoring. So I wrote no plans. This year I'm going to try to be more transparent – my current aims […]

Q2 Review of my plans for 2014

24 July 2014

In January, I put together a list of things I wanted to get done in 2014, this is my second review of how I'm doing. As I mentioned in my Q1 review back in April, it's one thing to write down plans for the year, and another thing to review them at the end. But […]

Q1 Review of my plans for 2014

25 April 2014

It's easy to write New Year's Resolutions at the start of the year, then write about them at the end of the year, and wonder why you didn't lose weight, save money, or do that thing you wanted to. Basically, taking one step after another into mediocrity and suppressed ambition. It doesn't have to be […]

With reference to my round up of my 2012 resolutions and aims, here are some for 2013: Develop my photography skills I recently had various compliments on photos I've taken, which is always very gratefully appreciated. However, having a nice camera does not make someone a good photographer, and I need to reduce the ratio […]

New Year plans: 2012 final quarter review.

7 September 2012

At the end of 2011, I made some vague plans for 2012. Not resolutions. Nothing grandiose. But things that would probably be good ideas. Do more offbeat, adventurous, unexpected, unusual things. More travel. It largely doesn’t matter where, just more of it. Find some new ways to take myself out of my depth Ok. I'm […]

Plans for 2012

31 December 2011

At some point, I may get a chance to look back on 2011, weigh it up, work out whether it was largely good or bad. That sounds like a lot of hard work. It's almost like a history essay. Instead, I'm going to think about my plans for 2012; not "New Year's Resolutions" just some […]
