12 days already passed for the new year. I haven't been able to come up with the whole new year resolution. I have ideas here and there. But due to many changes in my life, it's hard to put up a comprehensive plan. Like I signed up for this risk management exam, just to find out I will resume working soon and thus have no time to take on any exam. As well, my creative writing and comedy "careers" become second or third priority now.
Yet, piecemeal resolution might still better than no resolution. Writing them out will always be better than keeping them in between my ears, where things get forgotten or ignored once a while.
Here's Number 1 resolution: Simplify my life. Be Compact.
I am very inspired by this article from Time Magazine "The Year of Living Thriftly" and this blog of this group called Compact. This is " a group of individuals committed to a 12-month flight from the consumer grid. They borrow, barter or buy used.
I don’t know how much I can follow. It’s definitely quite a challenge, might more so than going vegetarian (which I occasionally tried that for just a week). That’s also why I didn’t think of starting it on the first day of the year. Instead, I waited till now so that I could do some last minute shopping before heading back to Hong Kong, which is a shopping paradise and quite an evil temptation in this case.
OK, setting goal is still better than no goal. I will look back at this entry to remind myself.
