2012 goals


As I've mentioned before, I'm a big believer in setting goals and going for them. (Maybe this is a remnant of my competitive swimmer days? Thanks, Coach Bruce, for our goal-setting sessions!) Here's what on deck for the year...

1. Create more of a boundary between work and home. This first year of freelancing, I've been so eager that I've just gobbled up assignments at the expense of my evenings and weekends. I love being able to dictate my own schedule, but next year I need to carve out a little more white space.
2. Use my Google calendar and actually look at it. I'm the queen of double-booking, and flakiness is so not cool.
3. Run a full marathon. It's on my life list, so might as well tackle this year—and I've already gotten into the NYC marathon. Eee!
4. Go on a long trip. Sarah and I have El Salvador on the map, and Erik and I want to do another international adventure. Maybe Spain and Greece?
5. Eat less processed foods and added sugars as a family. I'm a healthy eater in general, but just want to clean up some of the snacks and meals we resort to when we're crazed and wean myself off of diet soda and artificial stuff. And I'm opting for trickle-down nutrition; since I do most of the cooking, he'll be forced to eat more veggies.
6. Stay curious. Okay, I may have borrowed this from a certain CEO, but the sentiment is there.
7. Set up a professional Web site. Dude. I've been slacking!
