Revisiting “New Year’s Resolutions: 2005“

This year towards the end of August I wrote an entry about my New Year’s Resolutions for 2005. I wanted to get a jump start on the resolutions so I didn’t have to go cold turkey.

Today is the day that resolutions are normally made or announced so it seemed like a good time to review my resolutions and see where I need more resolve.

1. Good Schedule
I have made tremendous progress on this resolution. I have also regressed a bit lately. I got a job at Panera, which really helped out with getting to sleep early, but all that ended at the end of the semester when I left Oviedo. I also got a home gym thingie, which I use regularly. I write daily. I am really close to blogging 15 times a month. There were many long stretches in which I’d read daily, but there were also times when I’d skip a day or two. I was making strides towards praying regularly, but that is still a work in progress — not a successfully formed habit but not a forgotten goal/failure either.

2. Goal Setting
I still set goals, but now my problem seems to be keeping them and setting the short term goals. I need to add Goal Attainment to my resolutions.

3. Positive Attitude
This has been great — I think. However, my attitude did dip dramatically when I discovered that I wouldn’t be close to meeting my last resolution.

4. Straight A’s
Nope. Nothing even close here. Seminary is difficult for me.
Well, maybe this was something that wasn’t meant to be until 2005.
We’ll see!
