So I'm into the second month of the new year and my new year's resolution has finally come to me. I need to start prioritizing better, eliminating non-essential e-mail and other activities, and generally managing the little free time I have much better. (Yeah... The irony of writing this all in my pointless blog is not lost on me.) The shortness of life is more salient each year and I've been wasting a lot of time and energy on things that probably won't matter in 30 years.
So this year I resolve to stop spending time sorting and categorizing the thousands of songs, pictures, and documents on my PC. I'll stop spending so much time on Slashdot and other sites, reading things I don't need to. I'll unsubscribe from mailing lists I don't have time to read, let alone act upon. I'll focus my modest political activism on Global Warming (which will likely matter more than any other cause in 30 years) and fighting the moronic/evil forces that won't acknowledge the problem. And I'm going take the reclaimed moments to spend as much time with the kids as I can find.
