So at the end of 2011, I want to:

• Be 10 lbs lighter – I spent last spring mountain biking and being relatively fit, relative to previous years anyway. Since then, a combination of laziness and health issues (the health issues being more of an excuse for laziness than a real hinderance) have let all that slip away. I want to achieve this mainly through running, mountain biking, and healthier eating, but I have been contemplating a gym membership as well.
• Have written 24000 words of fiction – Whether this is mainly composed of short stories, flash fiction for online contests, or even the beginning of a manuscript doesn’t matter to me. Quality also doesn’t matter. This is just about getting some words on a page.
• Pay off $2000 of debt – This isn’t it all, but it’ll still be nice if I hit it. I’ve been hovering lately, and I’d like to focus on making some slight progress there.
• Stop buying books – According to my Goodreads account, I have 67 books lying around unread. There’s really no need to be buying anything new. So, excluding the occasional comic or graphic novel, I will not buy a single book this year. I’ll still be picking up audio books, though.
• Start learning piano – I’m not sure of a tangible goal I can set for this one. I could choose a song I’d like to master I suppose, but I know so little that I wouldn’t even be able to guess at a realistic goal. I bought a quite expensive keyboard a couple of years ago with the intention of becoming Tom Waits, and after two weeks of playing I basically abandoned the poor thing. I’d like to make some sort of effort to start practicing this year, whether that’s through lessons or self-learning. If I fail, I should probably get rid of the damn thing.

That’s probably enough goals for now. I don’t want to pull something.
