August 27, 2003 by krisis

I don’t ever make resolutions for the new year, or, at least, not in the way other people do. It’s just too daunting to pick attainable, sustainable goals in the middle of paying off Christmas and going back to work, and implementing them with just one day of notice. It’s impractical. It’s ineffective.

The reason it’s ineffective, i think, is that there is no snooze button; if you decide to put off your diet for three days so that you can finish your holiday leftovers, suddenly your resolution has been shot to hell.

It’s much better to not just have a handful gargantuan tasks with a single effective date, but to have a laundry list of wishes and a whole season to accomplish them. My theory is that with a range of time and more reasonable goals to choose from, i’d stick to them a lot better. As such, with a scant 27 days left to the season, here is a belated lsit of my Summer Resolutions — of which i need to complete at least 75% by the beginning of Fall (at which point the remainder will roll over into my Fall resolutions).

  • Relearn and retain essentials of French language and grammar
  • Maintain a consistent weekly budget
  • Subscribe to intellectually stimulating magazines
  • Get abs
  • Visit Rabi
  • Walk New York
  • Study for the GREs
  • Make a fake book binder
  • Write new songs
  • Buy a computer
  • Record a new demo
  • Play the Tin Angel or The Point
  • Exercise every other day
  • Buy more brown and orange clothing
  • Drink less
  • Blog more
  • Blog better
  • Read more (new) blogs
  • See more of more of my friends
  • Arrange three or more songs for The Treblemakers
  • Reread Dante’s Inferno
  • Reread A Midsummer Night’s Dream
  • Read Atlas Shrugged
  • Rejoin choir
  • Leave the city for a few days
  • Gain just a hint of upper body musculature
  • Start a band
  • Still a bit daunting, but only because i’ve spent all summer planning Blogathon and playing Sims. I’m thinking relearning French will have to wait for another time, and i don’t know if i have the willpower to create abs where there is nothing in four weeks or less, but everything else is up for grabs. What should i do? What would you? And, more importantly (because it’s always more fun to look forward than to plan for the here and how), what should i add to the list for this Fall?
