2014 resolutions

We all set resolutions each year. This year I'm going to do it a bit different. I'm going to post it here on my blog and post periodic updates throughout the year.
  1. Work less- I tend to be a bit of a workaholic. I think this is what holds me back from doing all that I want to do. 
  2. Invest more- I've got a portfolio that's been sitting. I want to actually use it for more play money. Some people go to the casino, I'll have my brokerage account. 
  3. Use my PTO better- take more trips. In 2013, I didn't take any PTO until Q3/Q4 so I had to use all my PTO in Dec and I didn't even go anywhere. 
    • Right now I'm  planning trips to South Korea, Germany (Oktoberfest/Glasshuette), Atlanta, San Fran (Bay to Breakers). 
  4. Organize and decorate my apartment-This is a quest that I'd started in December when I took the month off. I've managed to toss, donate, sell (on Craigslist/Amazon) quite a bit of stuff. I just need to keep going. I've also re-arranged my place to better suite my needs. 
  5. Cook more
  6. Read more
  7. Work out more
    1. Cross train more- lifting/cycling/swimming
    2. Run more
  8. Geek out more
    1. Build a network lab- I've had a bunch of Cisco network gear just sitting. Time to put it to use.
    2. Play with the Raspberry Pi that I just bought myself
    3. Rebuild out my ESXi box
