I’m not much for making New Year resolutions, I prefer to set my goals whenever they are relevant, not at a specific date. That said, this year I felt like publishing a list of things I will try to achieve in 2013. It is perhaps not as specific as some would’ve liked, but it is something at least.

I will…

• be harder on project, closing or selling them if they do not meet their set goals.
• launch more projects, try ideas, but do so with clear goals that has to be met.
• write more fiction.
• keep writing articles as a freelancer, but I will stick to features and columns.
• self-publish, but not exclusively so.
• self-publish at least three ebooks.
• dabble with iPad publishing.
• continue to support the WordPress community by making it grow in Sweden primarily, but also by contributing to the ecosystem internationally.
• spend less time procrastinating on Twitter, App.net, Facebook, Tumblr, and so on.
• be more focused and organized with my work.
• be less sensitive when it comes to unwarranted criticism, personal attacks, and general assholery.
• organize more events.
• balance my time at the Odd Alice web agency better with my other projects.
• write shorter emails.
• get stronger and healthier, before I ruin myself completely.
• read more books.
• buy more books, especially from fellow authors who take the time to talk to their fans, not just transmit to them.
• offload “stuff” I don’t use, be it digital or physical.
• only do work that matter in one way or another, and/or makes me happy.
• not let other people drain my energy, no matter if it is by friends, family or just someone who thinks they are entitled to my attention.
• be a better person.

There you go, the foundation for my actions in 2013 in list form.

I hope your year will be as great as mine is bound to be.
