1) Start exercising more often and harder. I need to get off my rear and put a little more effort into taking care of my health.

2) Start speaking at technology user groups and events. Since starting to attend user groups and events over the last year and a half I find myself really wanting to be on the other side of the room. Sitting and learning is great and I love attending the events but I want to be one of those people up there sharing knowledge.

3) Start doing some consulting on the side. In this economy and world having a backup plan is a very smart thing. I want to start doing a little side work to earn a few bucks and build up my skills and reputation as a developer. Luckily I have a decent job but you just never know now days. I want to make sure to cover my backside, just in case.

4) Save to buy a house. It sure is a scary time to think about this but I want to stop wasting money renting an apartment every month. I’d rather take that money and invest it in myself and my future but paying for a house. I don’t know if I’ll buy a house this year but I’d like to try to start saving a good nest egg for a down payment when I do.

So there they are. I don’t have a lot but these are ones I want to work on for this year!
