Weekend Open Forum: What is your New Year's resolution?
We’re just a few days away from ringing in the New Year which of course means we all survived the Mayan apocalypse. And with that global catastrophe averted, it’s time to look ahead to 2013 with a fresh start. For many, that means trying to stick to a New Year’s resolution which as we all know, is often times easier said than done.
For 2013, I plan to try and do a better job of managing work and free time – something I’ve traditionally had a tough time doing. I’m essentially a workaholic and find it hard to take time away from work to enjoy personal activities or to just sit back and relax. But in the same instance, I also have some work-related goals that I hope to accomplish next year so as you can see, it’ll be quite the balancing act.
With this week’s open forum, we would like to hear about your New Year’s resolution. Do you usually stick with it for very long or give up on it after just a few weeks?

Proud to say I exercise thanks to the Air Force making me and teaching me how wonderful exercise is. I quit last new years and feel better than ever, I learned the importance of drinking water (a canteen an hour) at boot camp and carry a bottle of water to work with me and drink powerade from the soda fountain at lunch.. I goto bed early like an old grand pa.. last night I fell asleep at 6:30pm to Ice age. I built a new Llano rig this year which does the job.. that leaves the major goals:
Get a degree!!!!!!!
Get lost in the mountains of Montana
*Edit*
I quit smoking last year not exercising lol
-
I'll quit posting comments.... maybe.

I'd like to spend more time building computers, and less time wastefully surfing the internet. I also plan on spending a lot of time on my new treadclimber, and getting rid of the gut.

Save up and go on a all-out one to remember holiday. I haven't even been abroad for 10 years and 2013 is the year to change that.

I'll start to read more articles and reviews. I'm not good at comments and getting along with users who's smarter than I am. So the only way is to enhance my critical thinking.
Lastly, maybe back off a little bit from gaming. I'm addicted, and it's time for me to kick that habit.

Hey, if you got the time for gaming, I'd hold on to it before something eats into it and you might have little to no playing time left :'(
