Closing out 2009 and looking ahead to 2010

As I sit here for the final hours of 2009, I look back at the last year.  It was an amazing year that was awesome and sucked at the same time.  I met some amazing people while going to IZEAFest and Blog World Expo.  I have made some amazing friends on-line and off-line.  I also got laid off and like I have said, it happens.

Looking ahead to 2010, I have a list of things I want to get done.  I don’t really call them resolutions or goals.  I already set my one goal with Project New Me (#newme).  I’ll give you a snap shot of some of the things I want to get done.

  • Organize my massive DVD collection
  • Organize my massive library of books
  • Get my Marketing Blog off the ground
  • Transfer my Rules for My Daughter to WordPress
  • Clean up my StumbleUpon and Google Reader and start using it effectively
  • Reconnect with one friend a month that I have let fall by the way side.  Facebook is great for this
  • Do a photo of the day for  year.  This is inspired by my friend, BenSpark.com.  I am going to use Flickr.  This will be good for my #newme Project New Me
  • Do at least one post a week on Dad-o-Matic
  • Read a book a week. Right now I read 3 books in a week and then don’t read any for 4 weeks.  Julien Smith has a great post with some tips on how to read a book a week
  • Start commenting and stop lurking on people’s blogs
  • Finish the redesign of this blog

Most of these will be accomplished in next week or so.  I have a couple other ideas that I have kicking around.  Some of them are collaborative with people such as BenSpark.com, Dad of Divas, MommaDJane, Jerri Ann Reason, and Scott Perkins.

What do you have planned for 2010? Do you have any goals or resolutions?

You know Buck, they say you're over 70% more likely to accomplish your “list of things you want to get done,” so congrats, you're well on your way! I'm really looking forward to seeing what's in store!
