New Year Resolutions!

"Well, what are your New Year's resolutions?"... that is the frequent question I get right after Happy New Year wishes when we are back to office after a hearty holiday break.

Come to think of it, aren't resolutions little vague? Let me explain...
Res#01: I want to loose weight this year
Res#02: I want to go to Gym and excercise more frequently
Res#03: I want to be nice to my family, friends, etc

where is the quantitative aspect by which we can judge ourselves whether we abide by our resolutions or not? You see, on the professional side, I preach frequently the advantages of a good quantitative analysis, performance metrics, etc. I will not accept the likes of these resolutions in business.

Personally, I like Goals...
Goal#01: I will loose 7.5 Lbs of total body weight by Dec 31, 2008
Goal#02: I will hit the Gym 5 days a week and increase my average daily burn to 500 calories
Goal#03: I will spend at least 10 cumulative hours per each week with my kids on their projects
Goal#04: I will reduce my Total Body Fat Content to 12% by Dec 31, 2008
Goal#05: I will develop a visible six-pack Ab frame by Dec 31, 2008

Oh well, Happy New Year again!!
