Learn from the mistakes of others

having just re-read a recent post by obsoletechild i am inspired to come up with a list of goals for the next year.

i am thinking of three kinds of goals:

1. short term: things i should be able to achieve between now and new years eve.
2. new year's goals: thigns that i should have on my list of things-to-do next year.
3. outrageous: ridiculous or unlikely things that i could aspire to achieving sometime in the next twelve to eighteen months.

all suggestions cheerfully accepted. i will sort through the offerings this time next week and post my final list for each category.

some ideas that come to mind at the moment:

1. short term: get a job interview.
2. new year's goals: start a new job.
3. outrageous: get a promotion.
