• Learn to play the guitar.
    I’ve always regret not caring about learning to learn the guitar when I was put into guitar lessons in the 3rd grade. Grace is interested in learning the guitar (yeah, she is only 3) and if she sees me learning, it might help maintain her interest, and I could probably help her. Setting a goal to record myself playing something intelligible by the end of June. I’ll need to set weekly practicing goals, but not sure what they’ll be yet.
  • Write more.
    I completed NaNoWriMo in November, but didn’t do much beyond that. Set a very low goal of 3000 words a month (only 100 per day).
  • Better communication with distant family.
    I’m pretty bad about communicating with people, and usually just rely on Facebook chat or emails, so I want to make sure I call more, especially with Grace, so she can see them. Skype at least twice a month.
  • Read at least 2 books a month.
    I managed to read over 24 books last year. Important to keep this as a goal though, because it is easy to slack off, and not get any reading done. At least 50% of what I read should be nonfiction. I intend to read at least 2 books in Spanish this year.
  • Watch less movies / TV.
    I actually didn’t watch as much as I have in previous years, but I should be accomplishing other goals, before watching something. More guitar and writing. More than a goal, this is a reminder to myself.
  • Develop blog about Chile.
    I registered a great domain name last year. I just have to set it up, and then start posting. Get website setup by February. And then start coming up with at least one post a month. The post should be useful and/or interesting.
  • Exercise.
    Gotta put this on here so that I feel guilty.
  • Keep track of my resolutions.
    During the year, see where I’m at with my resolutions, and post an update.
