2015 New Year's Resolutions (1 Viewer)

[AAABatteries]

I almost never do these or nothing serious but I'm going to give it a go this year.

My list:

- Read a book a month

- Play games with the kids more - at least once a week set aside time

- have my older kids start running with me regularly

- have a weekly work planning session first thing Monday morning

- <placeholder for diet/exercise>

- I've started passing on life lessons to my kids - been doing financial items with my oldest lately. I've been hammering him for months to never, ever go in debt. The only reasonable exception being a house but we've been discussing ways to no do that too.

ETA: updating list

I'm putting it out there that I want to get down to 210 by 3/8. I'm currently 225. I don't necessarily need to lose the weight but I'd really like to. So hopefully this thread will hold me accountable. '

Add these 2:

Play guitar on average 30 minutes a day

Yoga twice a week

Dropping another 35 or so to get me down to 200 and try to do more things for others.

What do you mean by migrate mailboxes? For work? From where to where?

Let's talk about this one. Curious about the backstory. Is it about the neighbors with the water park or something else?

Here's mine:

- Get a VP gig.

- Keep up the StrongLift program I started last month.

- Pick up the guitar again.

Yes. We've had it. It's out of control. I am tolerant of pretty much everything and I'm ready to go.

Picking up the guitar is easy. Playing it is a bigger challenge...maybe save that for '16?

I migrate email for people from their current provider to either exchange (office 365) or gmail for business. A lot can go wrong if you don't know what you are doing so I can charge quite a bit and solve a real problem for businesses.

Good call. I keep it on the stand in the family room. My current "go to" move when we have new people over is to tune it, bang out a couple chords, then find some reason to put it down with some vague promise that I'll play it later after everyone has had a few drinks. So far, 100% of the time, the wives are impressed and nobody's ever asked me to play it later. At some point, that will fail me so I may actually need to learn to play a song.When you go house shopping, give me a ring. Would love to share some of our experience.

Assuming the friends are in our age group, "ants marching', "free Fallin" and "the road goes on forever" contain the same chords and are guaranteed to get you laid. That combo has been working for me for twenty years.

I feel like I should throw money and poon at you for this revelation.
