Jack's Resolutions for 2007
I appear to be running a year behind, so a resolution about timeliness might have been appropriate, instead I have:
1. Do it or don't worry about it which I hope isn't as naff as it sounds: it was an alternative to anti-procrastination in that I would simple strike off some tasks, not postpone them and worry about them in the process.
2. As last year, I will try to Fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run.
3. With a judo club within five minutes walk of my house, I should be able to get my judo brown belt this year with regular practice.
4. A 6 minute 40 second 2000m erg score is ambitious, and may coincide with some college rowing: even if it doesn't, it's a great measure of fitness.
5. I only have one long summer holiday while studying medicine, so I want to make the most of it by doing Valuable summer work. Possibly something in West Africa...
6. Spend two hours a week studying French could be accomplished by a one-to-one conversation exchange with some new French lawyer friends in Oxford.
7. The same two hours a week of Arabic will be of a considerably lower standard, but attainable in part by listening to my arabic language CDs while running.
8. I want to Write daily. This could be a letter to a friend or newspaper, an article, a diary entry; anything which isn't work.
9. Start with the end in mind.
10. Play the piano at least weekly was inspired by staying at my parents' house and rediscovering some Mozart piano sonatas.
11. Finally (for now) I want to Go to more exhibitions.
