This post is about the professional resolutions for improvement that I intend to make in 2009. I was tagged by @David_N_Wilson. I don’t really believe in “new year’s resolutions” because I think you should always have goals, regardless of the time of year. I’m making an exception in this case because I definitely have a few goals in place that I’ve been working towards and which will be reached in 2009.

Post here at least twice each week. I get post ideas and put them on the back-burner, tricking myself into thinking writing a blog post is hard, but writing is so easy and I think people genuinely enjoy what I have to say.
Put together a set of songs that I can use to market myself as an artist. I tend to start songs and release Alpha and Beta versions without ever getting to stable release quality before moving to something else. (I have an idea to give these tracks away in exchange for donations to a charity, but I haven’t worked that part out yet.)
Write an e-book. Topic yet to be determined, but will probably be somewhere in the productivity and personal development area. Many people have approached me about this, so it seems it’s something I should get done.

That’s it for now. Since I got tagged, I’m going to tag:

You!

As a fellow blogger, musician, and writer, I really identify with these resolutions. Thanks for inspiring me to think about things I may want commit to in 2009!

I wish you a wonderful New Year and all the best for 2009.

So I see I am not the only person thinking of writing an e-book. Best of wishes in 2009

Your first resolution struck me as I have some blogs that got neglected lately. I would like to blog at least 2 to 3 times a week and decided to join a blog competition (where winners are determined based on who got highest number of search engine traffic driven to their site) to get into the groove.

All the best to your music and e-book plans!

Hey Rahsheen. I haven't been by here in a while, so I wanted to stop in. I see you have changed your WP theme. I like it a lot. Very nice and professional-looking.

I don't usually do the resolution thing either, but I have to say that I have made the exact same resolutions you have, (with the exception of #2).

I've been kicking around the idea of writing an ebook, too - just have to figure out a good topic to go with.

I have several blogs and I have made the resolution to post in each one of them at least twice per week. So far, so good. I just hope my motivation doesn't dwindle.

Happy New Year, my friend, and good luck keeping those resolutions.

I have definitely been slacking in the posting department, but I was really
focusing on getting some back-end things going and changing my theme. In the
coming week, I should be getting back on track. :)
