This year I’m not going to lay down a big old list of plans. They rarely work out, or I’m just too ambitious – or other things take over.
Take last year’s list, for example :
- Write more
- Take more photos
- Do more websites
- Get more business
Pay stuff offGet off the antidepressants
Not much, really. Yet most of it didn’t quite happen. Work and life got in the way, and things just didn’t quite happen.
Mind you, I did get off the antidepressants, and I did take photos when I got the chance, so that’s not too bad. I also completed a fair few websites, and some other projects – just not for myself.
I think I’ll be keeping the same basic list for this year though. It’s written with the best of intentions – but the knowledge that things change, including my motivation. But I think the 2012 list will be (in no particular order) :
- Write more
- Photograph more
- Owe less
- Weigh less
And that’ll do, I think.
And along with it being nearly April (OK, they’re connected in a way) it occurs to me that come this weekend we’ll be doing the spring forward time change to BST instead of GMT as well.
Of course the relation is that GMT always starts on the last weekend of March. I still find that the mnemonic of “Spring Forward, Fall Back” is the best one for remembering whether we’re gaining or losing an hour, despite the horrific Americanism of “Fall”.
It’ll confuse things for us a bit, as we’ll be coming home from the Peter Gabriel gig at the O2 at the time, but I guess that might help too as we won’t be missing an hour while asleep. Still, makes for an eventful weekend.
It hadn’t occurred to me ’til just now that April is just round the corner. A week on Thursday, we’ll be out of the first quarter of 2010.
How the hell did that happen? Where’ve the last three months fucked off to?
