Mid-Year Resolutions
Thanks, @some_spectre for this one...
1. Streamline Workflows At Work
Push to make things more efficient, and make my life easier with AI.
2. Roll Out My Book
Yeah, its done. And while it won't set the world on fire (really a niche item), I did finally get it done.
Now that we've gotten the son graduated from high school, will get this rolled out at least to Facebook friends this weekend. Oh, what the heck... here's a look.
3. Start Newsletter
I have an idea for a newsletter (different subject than the book). Gonna get on that this summer.
4. Prioritize Daily Hip and Back Relief
Been getting treated for some pain issues. Commit to a 10-minute daily stretching routine tailored to reduce the pain. After all, I have to be ready for football season...
5. Another Business Idea
Have a side gig I started and mothballed, which was wrapping paper using AI designs. I let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and while I like the site, I don't love it yet. Link is in my profile, but while it is there, it isn't working for purchases.
6. Yet Another Business Idea
My retirement gig... far from ready right now for both retirement and rolling out the gig.
7. Support Your Son’s Financial Independence
Work together to build his monthly budget, then help him reverse-engineer a part-time income plan for his time in college.
8. Learn One New AI Tool a Month
Pick one tool to master in July—whether it's image upscaling, writing automation, or custom GPTs.
9. Simplify My Digital Files
I'm running two computers - one for personal use, the other (very old one) where my church treasurer stuff goes. Want to ditch the latter, but need to get about 17 years of detritus there, and if I can get it sorted and off, I can get ready to retire from this position.
10. Reclaim a Lost Hobby
Revisit a personal interest I've sidelined.
11. Complete One House Project
Preferably something outside, like upgrade the back deck for hanging out and not being on the computer or the phone.
12. Strengthen One Relationship
Reach out intentionally to one old friend, former coworker, or family member every week—brief but meaningful.
