    Mine is to get up before 6AM every day. F*** me, this is going to suck.

    Sorry this sounds so serious ...:)
    Personal:

    Loose 20LBS/work out 6 days a week - Has to happen to keep diabetes at bay ,, the latter is a life long habit but the former is a challenge.
    Retire & Start a consultancy (or at least lay the groundwork) - I hope my company will help with this goal :whistling:
    Now that his post grad internship is ending today...Get the millennial launched into his career and out of the house.
    Focus on what matters...(Health, Family, Friends, Health, Sailing, Cycling, Sport in general, Travel and the Arts (I include watches here)

    Watches:
    Curate the accumulation (note that I avoid the term "Collection") of the past 5 years.
    Address issues with certain watches. Service what needs servicing.
    Sell what is not essential to a collection.
    Continue to learn, engage and research.
    No more buying until some selling happens. (There are always watches to buy)
    Avoid making buying decisions while drinking fine whiskey by the fire....(or at a bar)

    Happy New Year All!

    Quit smoking 40 cigarettes a day. I've been trying to get my watches patinated with smoke but i have the light suspicion that i'll be dead long before that happens...

    I've long resolved to not make New Year's resolutions.

    The vagaries of life and the certainty of human weakness renders any such resolutions pointless, usually by January 2nd.

    To set aside some "me" time, to quit trying to change the world, to quit trying to solve all my families problems, to tidy up loose ends and most of all, to enjoy the extraordinary beauty and wonder that I have been blessed to share.

    To appreciate my watch friends (some are Brothers, that's you Jim!) and this forum that is an enjoyable part of my blessings.

    Hugs to you all.
