January 8, 2011 Success, YearPlanReport
So time for new year resolution has came.
I created similar list last year and wrote why I really think that having list of things you want to do during the year is very important. I listened to many of time management books, especially I like those recommendations that includes all aspects of the life.
Accordingly that their point of view life consists with following set of aspects: health, relations, finances, emotions, work. If at least one of this aspects lame you wouldn’t enjoy your life entirely since other aspects will suffer. I found that in recent time I neglected my health. Yeah, I’m young so I do not feel myself completely crappy, but anyway I don’t like situation in which I’m now. That is why I’m planning to have some activities in list that should help me with my health. In this country you have to work half of your life to get apartments to live in… wtf? yeah, that’s truth, so there have to be some better ways to earn more money, not only sweatshoping work. To enjoy my life it would be perfect to travel abroad with middle-low budget.
Here below is my resolution list for 2011
- Release awesome free Design Patterns book in Ukrainian (somewhen in Spring)
- Enterprise certification (finishing with 565 exam, very likely till the end of Winter)
- Learn to ski & swim well (I can both, but I want to be good at that)
- Show kick-ass performance at work (just MUST do this, I see this as key for moving forward)
- Learn WP7 and Silverlight
- Start working on some “real” book (just collecting ideas on book)
- Read 24 books (this year I will definitely hit this score)
- Travel abroad (I’m planning for Europe tourist tour)
- Marriage (yeah, this really is in the list “OMG” I’m saying to myself…)
- Learn one more programming language (probably everyone heard about learning one language per year, why not?)
- Frequent dev meetings (this is hard, because preparing takes lot of time for me)
- Karpaty alpinism (again health stuff, want to do this with my girlfriend)
- Became known presenter (couple of outside the company presentations)
- English (watch films, find guys to talk in English)
- Start coffee-and-code in Lviv
- Write couple of personal-small programming projects / contribute to open-source
- Visit one of the solid conferences
- Get money machine / some ideas / investments / whatever
- Start some business even small and crappy – but have it to learn
- Became better-and-better in planning and achieving, continue growing, etc, etc…
(list above is not ordered in any way…)
Do you have your plan for this year? If you don’t better think about it, because “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.
Ok list looks large but fair enough to achieve this in year term. Thank you for reading my resolutions and please share yours!

Oh, this plan is cool. ))) I saw your plan with 48 books to read. And I saw your annual report with 15 books read. I thought at that time – Andriy should to plan fewer books. I thought – 24 at least, and I guess right.
Yeah, you are quite right. Working 8 hours a day steals time for reading books and plus to that programming books are not that quick & smooth to read.
But as I remember I planned 24 books to read, at least here:

Where did I say that I gonna read 48?
Yes, IT- books it's not only a book, it's The Handbook or The Reference Guide for everyday use, while you working. It's not a fiction.
48 books I found in this topic:
