I am not a new-year’s resolution kinda guy. This year, having de-cluttered my life a lot more than this time last year, I feel a mental freedom to explore more avenues. Hence, the 2010 goals. I took about a month to create these goals. Some were loosely formed last year, some this year. Coincidently, they total to six, in line with 6 changes by Leo Babauta.
I have divided them into three categories, namely biological, social and intellectual.
BIOLOGICAL
Go camping (involves buying gear)
Train atlas twice a week for bicycle tour (home to baldwin trail)
go on a bicycle tour
SOCIAL
do not eat any candy from coworker’s candy jar
buy no clothes all year unless absolutely necessary
INTELLECTUAL
start writing book about the people of jacksonville (project cup-a-tea)

I want to some day be able to pack my xtracycle with camping gear and a wad of cash and take off chasing the sun, a dream or just plain answers. I want to be able to do it by myself. I have always been interested in camping but never had the opportunity. This year, I make my opportunity. To tour, I need to get into shape to ride a fully laden bicycle upto 50 miles a day. Hence the training. I dont do well with training routines, so this will be a good challenge.
My coworker generously lets us dig our hands into a bottomless candy jar. I am tired of my afternoon cravings for candy. I pledge to never touch that jar all year.
I have enough clothes. I have enough good quality clothes. If I lose weight with my bicycle training, I will get my pants altered. No buying clothes.
Project cup-a-tea is a super secret project. It is an intellectual challenge and will surely carry forward to next year’s goal. It involves some heavy reading.
