New Year's Resolutions Done Right
A few weeks ago while sitting in a waiting room for jury duty I whipped out the iPhone and scrolled through Twitter for a bit. A tweet from @katerockin caught my attention — she was working on a list of 100 things to accomplish in 2010 and mentioned that she only wanted cross-offable items. For someone who has failed (or simply forgotten) dozens of resolutions and who also loves lists, this seemed like a great alternative to the vague get in shape or have more fun resolutions I usually make. I would much rather stop ordering Venti Carmel Choco-Macchiatos with Bacon Whipped Cream from Starbucks and try Irv & Shelly's Fresh Picks. So that's what I did: 100 actionable things to get done in the new year, taped to the closet door. That's one thing every 3.65 days.
By the way, I didn't get picked for jury duty and during lunch I chatted it up with Al Gore while he signed a copy of his new book at Borders. I had just enough time to say "thankyoumrgoreokbye".
