Resolutions

The January 2009 Chew on That's Monthly Mouthful for January 2009 asked: “What is your Foodie New Year’s Resolution? What types of food do you hope to try, cook, or stay away from in the next year?” You can see...

How many New Year's resolutions have been successful for you? Why do you want to create more weight loss resolutions that will fail?

A comprehensive, ROI-centric Internet marketing strategy is the hotelier’s perfect “survival tool” in the current economic environment, says Max Starkov at Hospitality eBusiness Strategies. Doug Hay, CEO of Expansion Plus, a boutique PR firm that specializes in online travel PR, agrees. “Although there have been dire [...]

So, after all that, I suppose the thing to do for a new year is to figure out what’s next, maybe compose some disposable resolutions for the coming months. Well, here are some off the top of my head: Spend time with my lovely wife. Eat less, move more. Write more. Be a valuable contributor at Mozilla. Make a few [...]

Recap:The changing of the year doesn't mean dip.Big deal, it's January!How to cross this resolution off your list - for GOOD.

I don't do New Years Resolutions mostly because I don't ever keep them. By day 3 of the new year, I've already fell off the wagon and reverted to my usual ways. I do however like most people in the...

So I am keeping my resolutions to a small list, hey maybe ill do another one in June..

As today is the first day of a brand new year, we polish off the last of the holiday cookies, skip the morning workout while visiting relatives, and snap at the kids when everyone’s overloaded on sugar and presents. We return home, resolved to Make Changes. We write out a list and post it on the [...]

Happy New Year's blessings to everyone!As we stand at the beginning of 2009, it is time to once again think about resolutions. And to be quite honest, this year I'm having a hard time getting started.I guess I could compartmentalize my life and try to create resolutions based on the different roles I fill: Disciple, Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Teacher, Church Organist, Aspiring Author,

Well, 2008 has FINALLY come to an end, and I must admit, I am waving frantically goodbye to it, giving it the finger and screaming "GOOD RIDDANCE!!!" It wasn't the best of years, although I do have to thank 2008 for some really good stuff like my pay raise and especially for bringing me the wonderful world of blogging. But, I am looking forward to 2009 with much anticipation, hoping and praying th

I'm gonna be honest: i'm a sucker for new years resolutions. Yes, I know - if you really want to change or improve something about yourself you could start doing it on any day of the year, but it's that added motivation of a new year coming that seems to make implementing those changes a lot easier. Suddenly it's not 2008 anymore, a year has gone by as you look ahead to the future, starting again

This is a guest post by Lisa Gates. Stop making them. It’s so curious how we spend the last weeks of the year in a sugar-plum-induced family frenzy of parties and holiday sweaters, and expect to walk into our lives on January 1 ready to drill down and get things done. To get our minds [...]

By 2009 I hope to have achieved the following;Pass my driving test.Remain the same size and hopefully lose a few pounds.Pass some NCTJ exams.Go to the Gym more, a least twice a week. Thursday and Saturday most probs.Read more.Do more art work.Try to help out more in the house.Be careful with my money.

SUNDAY December 29th, 2008"That was the longest church service I've ever been to" my nephew told me after church today. He and his family were visiting from out of town, and I had the blessing of having him for an overnight at our house and then after church getting him back to his parents. I smiled at him in empathy and amusement. When you're young and restless, long isn't good- unless it's a lon

Recently I found this website called goalforit.com which enables one to set goals, track it and finally achieve it.This is a very valuable resource, as it is New Year time and many people used to make various promises and goals that should be achieved for the next year. But most of those plans do down the drain without any proper planning or inspiration. For such people I feel that this service or

I don't normally hold with the tradition of making resolutions at the turn of the calendar. I believe that if I find a deficiency in my life, or just want to change my direction, I don't need a celestial trigger to take action. That said, the last two months have been a watershed of introspection for me. I've made new friends, both on-line and in real time, I've been offered new opportunities in b

During the past few days we have discussed Five Resolutions for Solo Law Firms that look more like solid business practices. Here is an outline of some of the ideas we covered – in case you missed them: Resolution 1 – Make as Much Money as Possible If you are in a solo law firm – a private business that you own that helps people solve problems related to the law – and you do not make

Linda Van Horn, Chair of the USDA-appointed 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory CommitteeIn 2009 I am going to turn the USDA food pyramid on its head by persuading my committee to stop recommending people's diet include so much brown, starchy carbohydrate. I can see the evidence is starting to point towards a sea change in nutritional best practice and rather than wait for the bureaucratic oil-tanker

The fifth resolution for solo law firms is, once again, a solid basic business practice. Don’t do anything (from a business development perspective) you can’t measure.  What you measure you can manage.  What you manage you can grow. This is an axiom that will pay big dividends for you from the moment you implement it. Here are three ways to apply it to your law firm marketing

There are many reasons to select a specialty and concentrate your marketing efforts toward dominating that area.  Yet most attorneys fail to do this effectively.  This happens partially because they lack the discipline and desire to define their practice as a specialty. This can be easily resolved by adjusting your approach toward the acquisition of new clients.  An effective

The New Year is around the corner, and you know what that means: Top 10 lists, and top 10 lists for resolutions. With the current state of the economy, Call centers and customer service are really treading on thin ice as it won’t take much for a customer to change brands or service from one [...]

We've decided to throw a dinner party on News Year's Eve, which just happens to be my birthday too! I'll have some fun choosing what to cook. It'll be a blast - as from the following day, we will be starting out on our new year resolutions. Ha!I remember last year. I was at a party standing next to a friend who brought up the subject: "Do you believe in making new year resolutions?"I paused for a

Every year this list reappears, but the resolutions just do not seem to go out of style! Choose one as a resolution and make 2009 your best year of teaching!1.

Engage each student in higher-order thinking and connect your curriculum t

I'm looking forward to the new year. This year hasn't been the greatest so I'm looking forward to it being over. I do have a confession.. With my newly acquired small sum of money I broke down and bought something for myself. It's something i really wanted and really needed. i bought a new journal. i used a coupon!!! ha! With the start of the new year I decided as I do every year that I need a new

With less than six weeks until the end of the year, many people start planning to turn the page to the new year:  vacations during winter break, planning holiday/new year’s parties, thinking about new year’s resolutions.  It is the last item that deserves more careful consideration, specifically with resolutions revolving around finances.  Many people make [...]

There is a phenomenon that goes on in my gym and I'm sure in a lot of other gyms out there. The gym I go to is small with a relatively small group of members, but on Monday's its packed. About 70% of the cardio equipment is full and sometimes you have to wait your turn to get on a specific piece of gym equipment. What's interesting is slowly but surely through out the week the crowd dwindles to n

I’m not surprised that Hot Lava have played with Videohippos because there are striking similarities. The noise, the mayhem, the utter craft in making it sound so palatable. That said I can’t help feeling that they could just as easily sit with a bunch of Scandinavian’s on the Labrador label. The melody is there in abundance you see but it’s coated in a haze of vocal distortion, throbbing

I'm making my birthday resolutions as I turn 32.. and one of those resolution is to strive to be healthy. It's really true that only in our 30's we won't feel so brand new anymore. A single strain can cause severe back ache, a climb of 63 steps on the stairs will leave you breathless and all the other signs of aging.. or maybe signs of being unfit, unhealthy and lack of exercise perhaps.So, gradua

My human will never let me eat her pet hamster, and I am at peace with that. I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human has finished watching a horror movie. I will not slurp fish food from the surface of the aquarium. I must not help myself to Q-tips, and I must certainly not proceed to stuff them down the sink's drain. I will not eat large numbers of assor

I thought I would just give everyone a quick update on the child support situation. Apparently the entire computer system mainframe for the whole state crashed on Tuesday, and the caseworker was out of the office on Monday. She returned my email today and I am not pleased.

Resolutions are an in thing. Every New Years Eve party I get to hear 100’s of new resolutions being made by acquaintances, friends, and family. When I happen to check back, 90% of the time they would have given up and gone their old ways. Come next 31st night, there would be another 100 more [...]

Could it be that i've actually STUCK by them this year? I was thinking about this as i drifted off to sleep last night (pretty dorky, i know) and thought it would be cool to post them here and make sure all is still dandy.

Many of us have forgotten our New Years Resolutions while some of us are still maintaining our lofty goals! Personally I am working on maintaining and improving my health overall for 2008 and beyond. Of course prostate health is vitally important to me and so is keeping a high level of cardio fitness through bicycle racing. You don't need to take things to extremes like I do but you can do a few things daily to help you. Eat healthy everyday - sounds hard to do but it can be maintained if you make it a habit.Exercise 3 times a week.Take a 15 minute walk at lunch time or after dinner. The www is a valuable resource for finding recipes and ways to stay fit even as we age. A few quick searches for keywords like healthy recipes or fitness can yield many helpful websites. Take a look around an

Those of you who have been with this blog for a while know that Mondays are traditionally  the time for the so called Editorial and it is basically when I tell you what to expect during the week.  So here it is: The Simpsons: Minutes to meltdown- a mobile game loosely based on my favorite TV series. God of war: Betrayal- the one and only reincarnation of Kratos on the mobile platform. Opera mini- THE Internet browser for your mobile phone. I also have a surprise review reserved for the end of the week . Or not. Now that we cleared this out I want to say a few words concerning games and screen resolution on a mobile phone. I've often read on mobile forums complaints like "How can you call this game beautiful- on my phone it looks nothing like the pictures" or "Why I don't have (

Every year, as January come around, most of us avail of the opportunity to review the year that has passed and make a list of resolutions to better ourselves in the one to come. While many of these centre on giving up cigarettes or joining a gym, it is equally an ideal time to review your investment strategies, see how they performed and make some new year investment resolutions. Here are six simple resolutions to help review the investing mistakes you may have made over the last year, and move forward in 2008. 1. Keep a rational, long-term approach. The new year provides a perfect time to look back on the performance of your portfolio and ensure that it has been adequate and remains aligned with your long-term goals. While it is an ideal time to reassess your goals, the first step in real

If your career is losing direction, it's time to make not only personal resolutions, but some professional ones too!Resolutions are nothing but setting goals for your self, which is anyway the secret to success. But keep in mind not to set unachievable steep goals that are not within reach. Set short-term goals and go for them. On the professional front you could look into some of these resolutions or maybe go for all of them!Revise your skills. Join workshops to brush up your knowledge and also learn the latest. Also pick up some foreign language course. It will give you an additional qualification. Or do some specialization course to update your skills..Clear up junk from your book shelf and study. Don't forget your mail box! This will add clarity and you will be able to prioritize. Upd

Now that the onslaught of holiday gift-giving idea commercials have ceased — have you noticed all of the commercials for various diet programs — capitalizing on our need to declare our “diet resolutions”? The whole idea of diet resolutions “weighed on me” (and not merely about all of the carefree cookie consumption of December, either). [...]

I've decided that my lifestyle should be much healthier. So I'm going to run every day, just as soon as I've completed the school run.That's to say, Tuesday is going to be difficult. Because then Ot has his speech therapy. And now that I think about it, Wednesday is going to be a problem too, because Ot en Piet have the day off. Thursday is difficult too, because Maartje has a late start. Friday I just háve to finish my weekly column. Saturday is booked solid with grocery shopping and other mondain things. And on Sunday the good Lord wants everyone to rest.But Monday, is going to work! Definitely.Or not.

With today marking the start of New York's infamous Fashion Week, we'll be bombarded with many new trend and style choices. Every year, I fall victim to the trendiest pieces only to find them at the bottom of my hamper six months later. However, this year I wanted to start Fashion Week off with a clean slate. Don't get ME wrong, I'll still drool over the newest "IT bag" and secretly wish I was sitting front row in the tents, but instead I'll treat Fashion Week like an "observers' sport". I stylishly resolve to watch, wait and only buy those trend items that truly speak to ME.If I was this conflicted, I figured I couldn't be alone. I polled various fashion/beauty bloggers over the net to get their Style Resolutions for 2008. Some attacked this task with great precision while others chose po

Every New Year many of us resolve to make changes in our lives, to set new and important goals. We’re inspired by that annual turn of the calendar to wipe the slate clean and to write new scenarios for our lives. It’s a logical time for new beginnings, new hopes, and new directions in our [...]

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours...Ayn RandAre you ready to create your own life this year?Studies have shown that as many as 95 percent of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions in less than three weeks! As you think about the changes you want to make in your life in 2008, know that Tony Robbins is here to give you the boost you need to finally create change that lasts.

This year I never made any resolutions. It came to the right time and I just didn’t know what to say. Usually they seem so… predictable. I must lose three pounds, I will exercise regularly, I will be more considerate of those around me, I will dedicate myself to my career. And how many people stick to them?I once rejected a boy for the sole reason that he would never go anywhere. He loved his “home comforts,” his job which kept him as close to the nest as possible, I just couldn’t be with someone who never wanted to do anything. A little while earlier, that sweet but hopeless boy not even an issue, I made a resolution.“[I will] Fall in love. Not just lust or like. Actual love. Somehow I think this one may take longer than a year to be fulfilled.”It took me five or six m

Special dates are curious things. They certainly do act as psychological posts in the ground - arbitrary but nonetheless real. So there is nothing special about making resolutions on 1st January (as opposed to any other date) and yet there is something special.Two of my resolutions were to improve my meditation practice, and to write another book. The second resolution I've made 3 or 4 years past now, so it hard to take myself seriously. However my meditation has drifted along without any real effort to deepen it for a long time now. When I started meditating I really thought it was the doorway to another world. Many people seem to find it to be such. From time to time I've also found that. But most of the time it is just plain hard work which does not get any easier or show any res

Artwork by ~MarendigellSomehow I find it easier to achieve the gruelling KPIs of my work, then my yearly personal resolutions. It's as though I have taken myself for granted.Fortunately for me, I am quite a goal-oriented person. Once I've set my mind on something, I will work towards gettting there. Maybe for personal goals, it will take me a while - but yeh, I will get there. :)And here are my resolutions for 2008. Check back again with me at the end of the year - and we will do an audit of how far I would have come.1. Exercise regularly.I have been pretty sickly last year - and have been told by my numerous concerned friends that maybe I should get out into the sun more and move my lazy ass. Exercise helps improve blood circulation and sleep, boosts the immune system, and of course, kee

Due to my incredibly full schedule, I'm always faced with

The majority of us made New Year's Resolutions, but most of us will fall short in keeping them."Good resolutions are a pleasant crop to sow," a wise man has declared. "The seeds spring up so readily, and the blossoms open so soon with such a brave show. But when the time for flowers has passed, what as to the fruit?"It's also been said, "He that resolves upon any great and good end has, by that very resolution, scaled the chief barrier to it. He will find such resolution...like the star to the wise men of old, ever guiding him nearer and nearer to perfection."Career Advice: No doubt about it, we'll be better off in 2008--emotionally and materially--if we make resolutions and achieve them.

Perhaps a bit late, and perhaps more for my own benefit than anyone else, this is what I want to achieve this year and I'm going to push hard for it!1. A gold medal for me (and my club of course!) in competition. Shameful, but Silver has always been the best I've managed. Watch out if you're in my weight category and keep your guard up!2. Up my training to 3 times a week as many weeks as I can so that I have a chance of...3. Moving up to Red Belt. This is going to be tough, but if it wasn't, it wouldn't be worth doing. Red tag needs attaining first of course, so time to get Taegeuk Yuk Jang "right".Happy new yearAndy

Well Happy New Year to all of you. I have been a little busy holidaying the past couple of weeks. On New Years, I was contemplating the conventional "Happy New Year to all my readers" but stayed away because I wanted to start this year by doing something different (Not wishing my readers seemed logical :)). I couldn't ultimately think of anything different because I had a hard time waking up

2008 Resolutions:1. My muffin top has recently reached bread basket proportion, so much like the rest of our obese nation, I’m heading into the glorious world of dieting. Although, I’ll refer to it as a lifestyle change, because uh, well, simply using the word diet makes me want to gorge on snicker covered ice cream cake.2. Put forth effort in my classes ALL semester long. I tend to make great strides either in the first 2 weeks or the last 2 weeks of my classes. Maybe by spreading out my need for a high grade throughout the whole semester I’ll be less stressed, resulting in more high – quality (read low quality) blogs.3. Start putting up laundry instead of throwing it in a basket on our living room floor. I hate putting away clothes but I also hate having to searc

I made myself a promise today that I'm going to start writing again daily. Take it for what it is. Now that I've moved half way across the world from the east coast things might be a little different than they were before, but it's better than nothing right? Of course it is.I thought I'd start off easy and tell you what I've been reading lately and the books I'd suggest picking up.An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems by Glenn Beck - This book contains chapters of many of the common problems that conservatives care deeply about countered with Glenn's "thinker" solutions.

Although losing weight and quiting smoking are among the top New Year's resolutions, the easiest, and perhaps best resolution should be to save money. What makes this resolution so easy? The fact that there are hundreds of ways we waste money every day. As our specialty is credit cards, we're dedicating our first post of the new year to simple ways to save hundreds of dollars with balance transfer credit cards. Firstly, if you carry a balance on your credit card, you probably waste about $140 for every $1000 you carry on your credit card. With a 0% balance transfer, then, you can save $520 by transferring a balance of $3000. Not too bad for something you can accomplish online in five minutes. You can compare current 0% APR balance transfer credit cards in the card comparison section

Happy New Year World!I'm sure, like myself, many of you are thinking about ways to make the New Year much healthier and better than the last one. Maybe add some purpose to your life? Just kidding. So, I have put together a few suggestions that can be simple to implement yet meaningful to your health and to the planet! ( We had thunderstorms on New Years Day in New York, uh hello, not normal weather! Is this getting your attention?)1. Go Organic. First of all, Americans are the fattest people on the planet because we are the richest.

Normally I don't make resolutions, but this year I have.I must first apologise to others that have tagged me where I haven't (yet) responded, but this one needs doing now if it's to be done at all. So, without further ado, here are my five:Fix the lights - we have two sets of lights in our living room at home and one of them has been broken for, literally, years. It's time to get them sorted out.Fix the boiler - our boiler currently has a problem and stops working when it gets hot. Not a good thing for a boiler.
