Talking about a resolution

Over two weeks into the New Year (my, time flies, doesn't it?), I realize I haven't made any formal resolutions for 2011.

Hmm, writing the date makes me feel like I'm living in some pulpy sci-fi movie... remember when the 2000s seemed so tantalizingly distant in terms of time?

I tend to establish arbitrary dates to start or end projects. I guess it's an aspect of my mind, I like a certain structure, and deciding things based on a date or time just makes sense for me. As a freelancer, I plan my workload in a similar way, although this approach can encourage laziness or a lack of discipline.

All to say that I wasn't inspired to make any resolutions this year, except for the vaguely generalized hope that I improve as a person, and find that ever elusive peace of mind in troubled times. Maybe I'm figuring that setting January 1st as a point for personal change might be a waste of time, since resolutions are easily broken or ignored.

We should all resolve to be better human beings, physically and spiritually, every single day!
