My goals for the next year:

      1.       Exercise on a regular basis. (Preferably in that hotel gym/fitness center every day.)

      2.       Finish my novel.

      3.       Finish fixing up my house.

Ok, you’ve seen my goals. I think they’re reachable. The exercise is possibly the easiest one right now since it’s warm outside. I can work out in the hotel gym after getting off work and when I’m home I can go fishing in my kayak. You can laugh all you want right now but you’d be surprised how much of a workout it is when you’re the motor. I’m hoping that I’ll reach my goal weight of 190 from 220 in a year if I stick to this plan.

Second is my novel. So far I’ve written three chapters and lost three chapters when I had to reinstall windows on my surface. Let this be a lesson, make sure you’re actually logged into the cloud when you back up files. Yes, I was that stupid.

I’m pretty sure that if I can at least start a chapter each Monday and finish it by Wednesday then I could possibly have the book finished by this time next year. Published is a different goal altogether.

Fixing up the things around my house should be the easiest of all three. I’ve got to repaint the over hangs, finish out my basement, which is already a third of the way done, I fix whatever else my wife comes up with.

Hopefully I can do these things.
