This is more about the process that I’ve been going through to come up with new years resolutions (groan – wonder if I’ll manage to keep to them this time..).  At least they’re written down now, so I can  look at them in a years time, although I suppose I should look at them again before next December!  I’ve no idea what 2010′s resolutions were.

I’ve been through a process of reflection, of my life as it currently stands and how I would like it to be.  To do this, I’ve spent a week away from work, away from London, staying with the folks.  I’ve learnt I can only truly reflect when I’m away from the situations I’m reflecting about.

So here they are, my New Year Resolutions for 2011:

Work

  • Work less (less hours at work – not necessarily less work)
  • Use all my annual leave – take holidays more regularly

Life (Balance)

  • Leave London more often
  • Visit family more regularly
  • Do more walking again (I’ve just bought Time Out – Country Walks near London which has 30 walks all accessible by train from London)
  • Complete all 30 walks in the Time Out book this year.
  • Read more – start reading on my commute to work.
  • Play sudoku and do crosswords – wake up those brain cells!

This is quite a specific list, so lets wait and see what 2011 brings and if I manage to achieve any of them.  An awful lot of this seems to hinge on being at work less….!

Best wishes to all for 2011!
