I’ve always tried to look at them not as resolutions, but a yearly audit of self-improvement. I suppose it’s an attempt to not make them seem so arbitrary and that I’m always trying to improve myself year-round.

Have fun with Ruby on Rails, it’s fun.

@Warner,

That is one of the things I aim for. Some of the goals are a little bit more difficult to measure than others, but they’re all measurable in some way (subjective or no).

@Jill

I was actually trying to avoid that in my goals for the year. I have to have some sort of time frame, but the “likely going to do it” is really important. For me, not setting a date to finish something (even a tentative one) establishes a bad precedent of just getting it done whenever.

My goals were simple this year: no time frame to have them completed, nothing I know I most-likely won’t accomplish, etc.
Anything else will be a bonus!

As with any goals it helps to make them SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely).
