I only ever set 5 goals as a [New Years](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New%5FYear?ref=cje.io "New Year") thing… More than that and I get distracted. These goals ultimately spawn a list of tasks and sub-goals, but they are the “big rocks” – the themes I’d like to keep in mind as I journey through 2010.

Here they are as of 3am on the 31st of December 2009:

1. Romance my wife and daughter.
2. Fall back in love with the [Bible](https://web.archive.org/web/20130106215652/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible "Bible").
3. Make a noticeable improvement to my [physical fitness](https://web.archive.org/web/20130106215652/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical%5Ffitness "Physical fitness").
4. Unhinge myself from [caffeine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine?ref=cje.io "Caffeine") and [nicotine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine?ref=cje.io "Nicotine").
5. Get out of the rat race.

Some are ambitious, some are simple and clear. This blog will be, in part, a story of the progress of these goals through 2010.

Happy New Years to all!
