• Get more organised. I have days where I’m super productive, and others where I feel like a dog chasing his own tail. I’ve seen a few people recommend Getting things done by David Allen. So I’ve bought a copy to help me on my way.

• Lose another 10lbs. This will get me back to the weight I was when I was 21. I’ve no desire to end up like this guy.

• Run another half-marathon. I did the Wycombe Half Marathon a few years ago and I’d like to do another one before I attempt the full marathon.
• Learn to speed read. I’ve started reading a book by Tony Buzan about this. But yes, I’m struggling to find the time to pick it up!
• Become expert-level at Powershell. I started learning PS this year and I love it. I’d like to continue to improve my skills in this area.
• Become proficient at SSAS. I know virtually nothing about this so I’d like to add it to my SQL Server skill set.
• Learn a new programming language. A few friends have tried to turn me on to Ruby on Rails. As cool as I think it is the syntax really isn’t my thing. I’m considering Google’s Go but I’m open to suggestions.
• Blog regularly. I don’t think I did too bad last year in terms of blogging frequency but I’d like it to be higher this year.
• Build up my savings again. My move into awesome Clerkenwell last year wiped out most of my savings. I’d like to build this back up again. It’s always sensible having a little nest egg.

• See more of London. I’ve lived in central London for several years but haven’t taken advantage of it like I should have. This year I will visit more museums, attend more events and concerts, and enjoy the best city in the world a whole lot more.
• Take a holiday. I didn’t manage a proper holiday in 2009. Thinking of visiting Tokyo and New York this year.
• Finish a project a two. I’ve got a couple of projects up my sleeve I’d like to complete this year. One more serious than Tweet-SQL and another just as fun!
