What are you are resolving to do better in 2008? Are you the sort of person who makes long lists of resolutions or do you pick one or two issues to really focus on?

My biggest resolution for this coming year is to get better at applying the OHIO Rule to my paperwork and emails.

OHIO = Only Handle It Once

I also resolve to clean up a bunch of half-finished projects before I start something new!

I do hereby resolve to regard eating as a means of survival, rather than a recreational pastime.

Buckworks I'm with you!

Try to work more efficiently, do what I do best - write admin software to do the bulk of the work for me.

Increase my profit/mileage ratio, I spend up to £300/month on fuel sometimes.

I saw a list of "top 10" resolutions yesterday. You know, the usuals like eat better, get in shape, get out of debt, etc. I chose to not make resolutions in case I'm not successful ;-) If you don't try, you can't fail LOL

I bought a LED bulb to replace a standard light in my house. If that works well I plan on continuing to reduce my environmental impact and maybe get in better physical shape. But it's not the new year that's causing me to do that ;-)

For 2008, i plan to do all the following -

Get infected with dissentry, buy 38 volves and sell them off as ferrari's, adobt a pet penguin, achieve world domination, push through a new law allowing any hamsters under 2 inches long to have a passport and an equal opportunity in life, have ownership of exactly 485/12ths of the atlantic ocean, no more, no less. Own some moon rock and a small puddle on mars, invent a black lightbulb with a difference, prove that the earth is actually a figment of our imagination and we're all living in a giant nose owned by a giant ant called Eric. Then, once the new year celebrations are over, I want to get married, then divorced, then married again, then divorced, then married again, and then divorced yet again, all to the same woman just to really annoy her family, then demand payment for keeping my pet giraffe alive in an ice cream box. I then plan to reinvent the wheel, making it more dodechahedron shaped rather than round, this will make car journeys alot more exciting and fun. I will decimalise the music system, instead of the octave, it will be the dechadave. Invent 2 new notes, rebuild all the instruments to incoperate these 2 new notes. Of course, rhinos will have to be banned from playing the xylophone. The continents will be molded into 1 huge landmass, then organise armageddon, where we can finally get rid of the french. Then, as lord emperor over the entire universe, you will all bow down to me and give me lots and lots of nice presents for next christmas.

Learn MySQL and have it implemented on my website (initial goal of within half a year) on as much of my own merits as I can (also without giving newly registered members admin rights). ;) I also want to replace as much of of procedural programming with object oriented programming.

This year I resolve to make the most from each day, one day at a time. No more of this lazy laying about for me....

This year I'm going to eat no meat during January. It really is a New Year's resolution, to make up for the excesses of the festive season. I did this last year as well.

To finish what I started in 2007, and to take baby steps to achieving whatever I have aimed for.

And guys, the average 'life span' of new year's resolution is 2 weeks :), to make a habit it takes solid 21 days - and I can't stress enough to stay strong on the third week :)

Good Luck.
