Right, it's time to stop mucking about - none of us know how much time we have left on this Earth... What are you going to change for the better starting in the new year ? No bollocks, unsustainable pie-in-the-sky nonsense, just things that you really can achieve with a little effort.
Me; Off the top of my head, I want to lose some weight, finally start taking my cardiac situation seriously regarding exercise (it will be five years in Feb, and I've basically just continued as if nothing had happened, minus the smoking), clear all the shit out of my old music room and start playing again and writing stuff.

I'm 53 next month, more behind me than in front of me...maybe having the courage to seize the day would be a good start for me. I could really use some piece of mind, contentment, and dare I say happiness.
A house move is the plan this year, set the controls, head down, lets get it done.

I don't usually bother, on the grounds that I never carry them through.
However, I bought a nice second-hand Nikon DSLR, and I'm going to learn how to use it properly this year - up to now I've only done point-and-shoot with the auto-focus, so it will likely be a steep learning curve!
*edit* ... and I'm going to finish building the model railway that I started in the shed 2 years ago.
One from last year was to get down to 14st (from 15 1/2) and I'm currently 13 1/2, next year I'd be quite happy to get to anywhere between 12 1/2 and 13st.
Apart from that there's nothing much I'm fussed about.
Managed to reach a major cash savings goal this year - mission complete.
Also sculpt me bod-ay!

It's only just into the year so I'm setting the bar very low
You can't improve on perfection.
And you can't polish a turd.
no one will know...
Oh, and don't bite your fingernails afterwards
Part of the result of this is that I will be getting rid of all my pedals with mechanical click switches. I detest them, and it's been annoying me that I felt attached to a couple of them for above reasons. I'll never buy another one.
And I'm going to do 'dry January' again this year since it did me a lot of good last time.

Not sure how - but the loneliness needs to end....
I'm with you there Richard. I split with my wife of 26 years last year and one of the hardest things (apart from her being with somebody else) is the loneliness of living on my own. My life is work, return to flat, go back to work, return to flat, repeat. I have my son who stays with me regularly but my life is very lonely. The problem is I did most things with the ex and when we split our social circles ceased to exist. I occasionally see close friends but when I return to my living space the depressive cycle begins again. For me, I'd like to meet somebody else but I think it's more important to start socialising again such as joining a group or take up a new hobby so I can meet people again. Then hopefully I might meet somebody else to share my life with. I'm very much a recluse at the moment.
