Today is the 31st January 2021, and again I am back to thinking about New Year's Resolutions for 2022.
I believe you can come up with New Resolutions at any time, it doesn't have to be the 1st of a New Year, but it is a useful reset date.
2021 Review
2021 was a bit of a fail. I spent the whole year doing a fairly boring IT project. My attitude sucked. I really didn't apply myself anything like as much as I should have done, maybe only 30%. I was very distracted by a new hobby, which consumed a lot of my time (more than it should have done, including time when I should have been working, and they were not always happy moments.)
It was a good year looking at it from a personal indulgence viewpoint, but a very bad year from a work and productivity viewpoint. Also, a bit of a fail with my seeking financial independence (I blew a lot of money.)
Work/Productivity score: 3/10
2022 Resolutions
1) Cannot buy any more synthetics (except for uniting head with a body, but max 1 order at a time.)

“Planning your life gives you control. If you create a plan then you get to make choices and decisions, rather than leaving things up to chance, or worse yet, letting others make decisions for you. A plan will make it easier to say “no” to things that are not as important to you.”
