With the advent of a new year, it is traditional to make resolutions. I have not usually made serious resolutions before, but I decided to do so for 2004. A man should set high goals for himself and I have attempted to do so with these resolutions. I am posting them here as additional motivation for myself and ask that my faithful readers occasionally prompt me about them.
Reread the entire Bible
Spend more time with my wife and children
Finish rebuilding our money pit (we bought an old house last year that has been a fiscal disaster, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.)
Read at least 24 non-fiction books and post comments on them
Start a small, part-time business
Write and submit a short story for publication
Get more sleep
Get more exercise
Give my web-site a face lift
Start and post an idea of the week
Reduce my sugar intake; in part by consuming no more than 1 soda per month
See the Southern Cross
Answer my email in a more timely manner
Some of these resolutions seem to contradict each other (accomplish more while sleeping more and spending more time with my family). This means I will have to be more productive with my time and while that is not a resolution in itself, it is a requirement to reach my goals. While these goals are ambitious, I believe I can obtain all of them in 2004 if I better organize my time. I’ll keep everyone posted.
I'm considering a few options ranging from:
a) building a house on an empty lot next to our home and renting it (college town, lots of demand)
b) starting a market research company
c) becoming a mediator (and would greatly appreciate your comments on this; IIRC you do this do you not? Any suggestions for learning more about this?)
d) other less realistic options; a-c seem the most feasible for part-time work.
Best of luck friend.
Web-site face lift?
IMO, Solport is already readable and aesthetically pleasing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it :)
What kind of face lift are you planning?
Thanks all. And I'm glad Pyro finds the site aesthetically pleasing. I like it too, but I have some ideas I want to try. It probably won't impact my gaming pages, but it will give the blogging page a different look.
Details in a few weeks ;-)
Interesting collection. Any idea what kind of business you would start?
