There's some lofty goals there. Let's see how well I fare. An important thing to remember about giving things up, which I learnt when quitting my oodles-of-fags-a-day smoking habit, is that a lapse shouldn't mean that you just abandon the effort. Some of them are obviously aspirational, and need to be viewed as a progression, not a destination.

I have a few more, given that I'm such a fan of self-improvement, but I won't share everything.

Last year my only public resolution was to stop drinking alcohol, and that lasted three months, until I got very bored of it. I don't think I have a drinking problem yet.
