Eat less.
Move more.
Be excellent.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

To have more to show for my money. I need to go out less and get round to some of the DIY that I was supposed to do last year - and i need to invest in some decent furniture!

• Finish CV
• Finish work portfolio (which I started months ago)
• Find more work. It kind of dried up in last couple of months apart from some low paying bits and pieces. I have done work that has come my way. Now I need to get out there and look for it
• Move hopefully to a house. Had enough of living in flats. Too many inconsiderate morons. Will need to move further out to a less yuppyfied area but that is ok as I am getting fed up with some of the arrogant types round here
• Do more comic art. Finish the comic strips I promised to work on (I hold my head in shame for not finishing them)
• Do a comic drawing a week and do it more quickly
• Contact friends more regularly. Or infact actually contact friends
• Get into driving. Will need refresher courses for that
• Start a non-comics style illustration blog
• Not go to bed unnecessarily late
• Read more comics (believe it or not!) and non-comics

Generally, to stop faffing, be proactive and to use my time more wisely.

Not much. :(

Write more.

Also, while I'm thankful I have a job  I don't want to stay there forever. I'm not saying I'll leave it this year, as I need something else to be lined up and I'm not sure where else I'll go. it took me long enough to get this job and I haven't been there long. But... I realise a bit of preparation might be in order, working on my own projects off my own back in my spare time, maybe.

To add to the above-
Play the keyboard regularly and practice. - I learned years ago but I haven't kept it up at all. I'm not very good but I do have an ear for music.

Draw. - I'm more inclined to writing, but I'd like to explore this more and see if I have a talent worth developing.

Generally be more productive. - The above points fit in this category really.

Control my temper. - I'm not particularly aggressive and rarely allow it to affect other people but I've been rather aware in moments of stress this last year that it's very much there.

Just chill out more. Not in the laziness sense (I'm lazy enough as it is), just stop worrying. I've come to realise most of my worries are just in my own head.

Lie to myself and others more.

Brutal honesty I were brought up with is killing me.
