Goals for the New Year

Never really have been one for absurd and ultimatum-esque New Year's resolutions (ie "I'm gonna eat X servings of veggies, do X pushups, give X dollars to a homeless dude, and hug a baby; EVERY DAY this year") . I think we can all admit stuff like that doesn't last into February.

No, no. I'm more of a Goal kinda guy. Realistic heights to jump for. So let's see what we've got.



WeDrink Goal: Establish a concrete marketing strategy. Not just some promotions, I'm talking a variety of channels that drive continuous quality traffic to the WeDrink website, helping to spread the good word of the stainless-steel water bottles that raise money for water-relief charities.





Physical Fitness Goal: Be able to do the 30-muscleup (no that's not me) Crossfit workout in 4 rounds or less. OK I admit this one will be tough, probably gonna come down to the December 31st wire here... If this ends up being not humanly possible, I'll settle for by the summer being able to do a good iron cross.



CMP Goal: Launch the CMP Campaign. Collaborative Micro-Philanthropy. This really is the heart of all that I do and think about nearly every day. The problem is, it takes a good 2-3 hours to even begin to explain all the philosophy, economics, and even religion that goes into CMP. The past 9 months I've been working on bringing that down to a 3 minute conversation. I've saved up enough money to only work my day-job for 3 days a week, and devote the remaining 2 and weekends to putting this all together for the next 2-3 months. Be expecting some CMP posts in the near future.

Talent Goal: Reach the point of playing piano fluidly with both hands. Broke out my late-90's Casio keyboard not long ago and started playing whenever I had the free time. I know it'll be something I'll need to dedicate a little more to, but having a roommate in love with guitar should make the overall music learning process easier.


I suppose I can think of a few other things I want to accomplish for the year, but these are definitely the big ones. And I'll definitely be posting updates whenever a milestone is reached, so keep an eye out!
