Five New Year’s Resolutions for 2007

Here are my 2007 New Year’s Resolutions:

1. Reduce Personal Road Rage: I’m not an angry person, except when I’m in the car.  When someone shines their high beams in my eyes, or cuts me off, or if I take a wrong turn, it drives me up the wall.  I hope I can calm down a little bit in the future, so I’m putting this on the resolution list.  In order to accomplish this goal, I’m going to leave a little bit earlier for my destination every trip, and I’m going to use the GPS my girlfriend gave me for Christmas when I’m going somewhere new.
2. Take Personal Responsibility More Often: I’m not a huge complainer, but every now and then, I make excuses for why things didn’t exactly go my way, and the fact that I do bugs me.  I’m going to make a bigger effort to take responsibility for ALL of my own actions.
3. Become More Confident in Law School: I oftentimes feel like I’m just trying to keep my head above water in law school because everyone else is so smart.  Well, I was admitted there, too, so it’s not like I’m deficient compared to my classmates.  I’m going to stop being in awe of my peers.
4. Stay Fit: I’ve always been a fitness nut, but at the end of last semester, before finals, I really let up on my training.  I resolve to stay on top of my running and try to run a few races this upcoming year, at least.
5. Become More Efficient: Although I am an efficiency nut as well (I was an Econ major in undergrad), I don’t consider myself to be a very efficient worker.  I hope to find the time to implement a more efficient schoolwork schedule, perhaps by implementing David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” program, which I frequently hear good things about.

Post your New Year’s Resolutions, gimme-five’s two readers!
