Happy New Year!!

Happy new Year everyone! We had an extremely quiet New Year’s Eve with some good food and a film, followed by watching the fireworks over Munich out of our living room skylight at midnight. It was great.

I know I said yesterday that I wasn’t going to make any resolutions, but I did think of one today – I plan to be more productive in 2008. I realise that my definition of productive will most definitely change once the baby is here, but I spend far too much of my free time doing nothing in particular – I check blogs, e-mail etc and all of a sudden an hour or four have passed. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t plan to stop reading your blogs, but I do plan to prioritise better, and to concentrate on the important tasks first. If this works out the way I plan, I will actually be a lot less stressed, and have more time at the end of the day to do fun things, because the chores and jobs I have to do could be completed far more quickly if I actually commited myself to them 100% instead of continously taking breaks to see if so-and-so has updated his/her blog in the last 30 minutes. So that’s the plan. I started today, and actually feel like I’ve achieved quite a lot, so that was a good start. Now, I’ve just got to keep it up!

Anybody else got any resolutions?
