First of all I hope you all had a great Christmas and an even better New Year’s Eve!

I’ve been around this holiday season going to Albufeira for Christmas and Madeira for the New Year’s Eve.

New years seem to be that time where we all look back and try and make a few changes in our lives. It’s when we see what we accomplished and where we failed and try and make a list of what to change the coming year. So if you relate to this, please read on…

So I failed in going to the Gym, in learning how to dance Salsa and a few other things. But one thing I realized this year is that I don’t really look at some of these objectives like pressing ones (except the do more sports/go to the gym more often one) but more like things I would like to do one day.

A few months ago, though some friends project, I found “Move to Portugal”. It’s a blog around organizing your life but something instantly caught my eye: they have a plan to pay the morgage until 2012 and then move to Portugal.

This particular idea has got stuck in my mind since then.

I’ve been wanting to go to Madeira for the New Year’s Eve for ages now and this year I finally did it (in the following posts I’ll talk more about it).

I did it but it wasn’t one of my objectives for the passing year. Instead it was one of many objectives I decided long ago I’d do someday. I have many of these but nevertheless it’s something I always wanted to do and now I did it.

This wasn’t one of those “this year I’ll do this” but more one of those “someday I’ll do this”.

So instead of simply having objectives for this year I’m also going to do a list of things I want to achieve in my lifetime.

So this was my first resolution: I’ll create a page where I’ll be putting my objectives and perhaps even an indicator of how far I am to achieve them.

Why don’t you try it yourself?
