I want to make a difference in 2011 and no single resolution will suffice. Rather than make one iffy, generic resolution that will either be too hard to complete or too easy to be considered worthwhile, I'm going to set multiple weekly goals over the whole year. I want to do the following once a week, every week:
- Read a new book
- Patron a new-to-me, local restaurant
- Brave a new bar
- Try a new beer
- Try a new wine
- Make a new recipe
- Send a postcard to my mom
- Donate to a charity
In the end, I will have done each 52 times over the 52 weeks in a year. Most are just interesting things that I've been trying to do for a while; like I can't even count of how many local restaurants I pass everyday as I go to the same-old places again. A few will be real challenges; for example I have started to read more frequently, but my book wish-list keeps getting longer. I really look forward to the ones that will help others; such as finding more than several charities that could benefit from a new donor. I really just want to set a good goal and finish it next year.
The general rules:
I have from 12:00 a.m. Sunday to 11:59 p.m. Saturday to complete each task for the week. These times will be based on whichever time zone I happen to be in on those days. 2011 makes it easy to follow this schedule as I will have 52 full weeks, with only January 1, as a by-day. This blog will be used as a way to keep my accountable and then document my progress. Finally, the most important rule is that I want these to be new things.
