Noughts

Not a habit of mine to make resolutions, but think I’ll start making some this year.

Be more effective, be more organised, use time more efficiently
Actually, I’ve managed to finish a few books (The World Is Flat, Freakonomics ,The Long Tail) while I’m on my daily commute this year. I guess that’s not too bad actually. I actually feel less ignorant, which is good, but I’m still quite ignorant…lol. However, I think I’ll need to find better ways of doing things so that I can use my time for other purposes like doing things I actually like, maybe even take up more freelance projects. And stop procrastinating. Time, there’s never enough of it.

Get my SCJP and one more certification, or learn one new skill
It’s about time I start preparing for my Java exam, hope it’ll make me more marketable. Then I can get a higher salary….haha. Maybe I’ll get an Oracle certification in PL/SQL or something, or maybe I can take up Malay, most probably not going to do both simultaneously though.

Adopt a healthier lifestyle
Drink more water, eat less meat, less salt, less sugar, sleep more, do a bit of exercise. Don’t sweat over the small stuff, choose the battles I go into. Maybe exfoliate? lol

There’s that, now I just need to think of actual steps needed to fulfil them and some determination to stick to them. But that’s for another day, not for the eve of new year
