My 2010 New Year's Resolutions

I've honestly had my resolutions done for a few days, but it's time I got around to posting them:

Personal

• Take one international trip
• Apply for two grants for non-profit organizations I am involved with
• Participate in Nanowrimo
• Exercise at least once a week
• Blog more frequently
• Take more photos

Financial

• Increase emergency fund by $1700
• Eliminate all credit card debt
• Start future goals fund (home purchase, car purchase, etc) and contribute $1500
• Two month shopping moratorium at some point in 2010

Career

• Write/publish a minimum of two freelance articles
• Generate $500 income outside of my day-time job
• Obtain a professional mentor
• Complete all course requirements for my graduate program

Some of my resolutions are repeats from last year, but some are new ones I've never tried before. I am not the type of person to beat myself up over resolutions I don't accomplish at the end of the year, but I still like to put them on paper to get them at the fore-front of my thoughts instead of just thinking about them. Writing my resolutions down (or posting them on this blog) is a higher level of accountability for me than just talking about what I want to accomplish.

I hope everyone enjoyed a nice holiday season and has a happy and prosperous New Year!!
