My New Year’s resolution for 2004: “Less talk, more do”. More hands-on software development, less reading about others’ work (proportionally, that is). More half hours on the treadmill and reps with the weights, less dreaming of marathons and a perfectly trimmed waistline. Take things in small manageable chunks, rather than big overwhelming aspirations.

Accomplish, rather than dream. Take a step towards the outcome now, rather than plan the perfect journey and never progress towards the goal.
