I have decided to document my goals / resolutions for 2011. This almost forces me to focus and reflect back on them later this year.

Personal:

• Lose Weight: I need to lose 8kgs and tone up.

Action Plan: I am going to see a dietician that a friend recommended, get a personal trainer and go to gym 4 times a week. I am also going to attend a yoga class once a week.

• Invest Time in Myself:

An hour in the morning to go to gym. Another hour to get ready: put make up on and do my hair.  I also want two hours when I get home to cook supper, bath and follow a proper skin care routine.

Action Plan: Plan the time and put it in my diary, don’t double book myself and get my work hours to fix in between my life.

• Treat myself: A facial, full body massage and pedicure every month.

Action Plan: Book it well in advance and put it in the diary + budget.

Business:

• GirlGuides.co.za

Take girlguides.co.za to the next level.

• Launching my other two business ideas.

*watch this space, I want to get back into retail*

• Start mentoring / helping with other people’s business ideas:

I am going to start with one hour a week free of charge for my time to help with business idea and planning etc to anyone that once help. So if you need help or an hour to just run things past someone I am your gal, email me, DM me and I will book you in the diary.

Social:

• Spend Time / Keep in Touch with Friends more:

Blocking out an hour each week to just send a short note to friends I miss, or having lunch / dinner with a friend each week.

• Blog more:

I love my blog, but I don’t have time to blog (or I don’t make time to blog or read enough for other blogger’s posts). I am putting aside time to read, write and comment at least three times a week.

• Meet more people off twitter:

I have met the most amazing people and have a whole new social circle from twitter. I am making a point of attending more tweetups and meeting more people from twitter.

I am hoping for two major items on my to-do list to be ticked off in the next three months this will really allow me to move forward with some new stuff that I want to complete.

Here is to 2011 being an awesome year!

When I get back to SA I am upgrading to an iPhone…immediately and I will struggle through learning how to use a touch screen (which my BB Torch has kind of trained me for already).

I am a die hard BlackBerry addict, and after arriving back from Fiji I can not get my roaming BlackBerry service to work – which means that basically my BlackBerry is useless.

In the middle of all the flood drama here (Brisbane Australia) I am not sure if there is something wrong with the BIS service or if there is something wrong with my roaming BUT I am sure that I need my phone to work for data far more than voice! SO being reliant on a server that might go down when you need your phone the most is definitely not a solution and something you want to be stuck with.

As I sit next to the three other iPhone users in the house, I am the only “dork” who  has to be connected to use wifi to use my phone! And its no fun being laughed at by Apple users…

Oh and the iPhone has cool applications as well..
