It's a good time for taking a look at our lives and what we're doing and seeing what we might want to do differently. I like the word "goal" better then "resolution" because with goals we can measure our progress and be happy that we are getting better, instead of feeling bad the first time we make a mistake and maybe giving up. It's probably mostly just a difference in terminology though.

Some things I want to work on include:

- keeping up with my e-mail and not letting it pile up in folders that I never look at. I'm doing good so far, 'cause now I'm checking my mail on the server's webmail system instead of using my mail program with all the folders that sort things into the convenient piles of 3000 messages I never read. If I can't keep up after school starts again I will have to unsubscribe from some lists.

- give myself deadlines for projects that don't come with due dates, so that I work on them and don't just blow them off.

- I really like Tomi's suggestion to find the positives even in problems too.

So basically I guess I want to be more organized and have a better attitude.
